“…Primary school teachers need to understand STEM integration of the core disciplines based on real-world contexts by preparing welldesigned STEM activities that promote student-centered learning (English, 2016(English, , 2017. Those who teach STEM are key to implementing STEM education in classrooms (Johnson et al, 2016;Sias et al, 2017). Teachers must have STEM understanding and pedagogical content knowledge to promote important skills and knowledge in STEM and demonstrate how it relates to daily life and careers.…”

A STEM methods course was developed for undergraduate preservice teachers at the faculty of education. The course model design had three phases: 1) review of the STEM literature and conceptual considerations, 2) planning of the STEM methods course, and 3) evaluation by experts and revision based on their feedback. Research literature and other documentation were reviewed. A framework and guiding principles for primary-level STEM education were developed to identify key elements, including STEM focus/essence, student-centered, curriculum, learning environment, and assessment. A 15-week STEM methods course was planned to model good practices for teaching integrated STEM and to let preservice teachers confront real-world issues and problems that arise in STEM instruction and then design their own STEM lessons or activities for teaching. The result of implementing the STEM methods course was examined through preand post-surveys which showed the influence of the methods course in promoting preservice teachers' STEM understanding.

“…For example, a strict timeframe and different content teaching will limit potential in using a progressive method, expenses that have to be supported from administrators, difficulties, extra time and readiness for responsibility. All of these can cause problems to teachers in charge (Sias et al, 2017).…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the area-based learning management and also demonstrate the innovation model of area-based learning management, to promote green citizenship in upper northern Thailand. The qualitative research methodology was applied with data collection from an in-depth interview and focus-group discussion in which the researcher integrated past experiences gained from working in social studies and field trip with learning activities to design those activities by mainly emphasizing learners to shift their conception under the educational paradigm together with the significant target of promoting green citizenship. The research findings reveal that using Miang, a native plant of communities in the upper northern Thailand, as an activity-based learning together with empowerment of people familiar with the context of Miang culture in their own communities shall lead to a sustainable learning. This captioned paradigm focused on the participatory learning process in which learners could create their knowledge with the area-based learning instrument through 4 units of Miang culture activity-based learning to bring about the "creative learning innovation" as the pedagogical teaching knowledge for future development of global citizenship.

“…Lesson plans production is one of the outputs to be uploaded and validated by experts through this system. All of them were analyzed in a qualitative description which was adapted according to [20] as in Table 1. In this blended learning, it there has also carried out peer teaching based on participants' lesson plan for evaluation.…”

Recent technological developments have increasingly supported the science learning that presents artificial intelligence as part of Internet of Things (IoT). Its implementation can be carried out through Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) in blended learning environment. This technology was used to support 29 Indonesian junior secondary science teachers in creating innovative lesson plans, which are members of competencies improvement programs. The purpose of this study was to describe the lesson plans that contain an integrated science teaching, supported by ITS in blended learning. The lesson plan product was analyzed descriptively. This Qualitative method was used to determine its characteristics about curriculum integration, learning activity, technology integration, higher order thinking skills, and assessment process. The result revealed that most teachers have strongly represented aspects of these all required aspects. The lesson plan created reflects the ability of teachers who are creative and capable to integrate various contents in learning activities. Learning activities are student-centered oriented to higher-order thinking skills. Technological support applied in learning activities is also an aid for students to be more motivated, as well as the presentation of assessment aspects that are relevant to the learning objectives. There are still some inadequacies in these results to be discussed. Thus, the potential future researches for supporting the science teaching are highly welcomed.
