“…In line with Stohlman [24] that he describes STEM approach as an effort to integrate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics into one comprehensive knowledge. The STEM learning would be more effective if the inservice teachers had a good understanding concerning science discipline and figure out the chemistry concept from various science perspectives [30]. Thus, the in-service chemistry teachers' opinion regarding STEM definition is mostly correct.…”

A good knowledge about Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) integration is essential for chemistry teachers before they are implementing a successful chemistry learning using STEM approach. This paper reported in-service chemistry teachers' prior knowledge in integrating STEM in high school chemistry learning. A descriptive study was adopted in this research. A number of 82 in-service chemistry teachers who teach in senior high schools in Yogyakarta were established as the research sample. Research sample was drawn from Sleman and Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia through saturated sampling. The initial knowledge about STEM of in-service chemistry teachers were captured using STEM Knowledge Questionnaire (STEM-KQ) consisting of 7 open-ended questions. The in-service chemistry teachers' response toward this STEM-KQ were analysed following qualitative descriptive method using content analysis with interpretative coding. The findings of this study revealed that in-service chemistry teachers have understand the basic concept of STEM, still it needs to be enhanced. Most of in-service chemistry teachers have known the definition and position of STEM. However, they still have a lack knowledge about the example of STEM implementation in the chemistry lesson. Therefore, the in-service chemistry teachers need to follow workshop that provide guidance on how to implement STEM approach in chemistry learning. Thus, through this activity, the in-service chemistry teachers develop their skills in preparing STEM learning that implied on their readiness in integrating STEM in the chemistry learning activities.

“…As more jobs within the US require STEM knowledge, recognition of nursing as a STEM profession can meet this demand and position nurses for nontraditional career paths in health care and industry. The latter can contribute to economic growth and new innovations.…”

Background: The National Science and Technology Council developed a 5-year plan in 2013 to ensure that science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) experienced sustained growth within the United States (US). Nursing is comprised of multiple sciences that include chemistry, physics, biology, microbiology, anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, and the social and behavioral sciences of sociology, developmental lifespan psychology, and psychology. Science, technology, engineering, and math constitute the traditional STEM acronym. Nursing programs graduate nurses with both the rigorous academic coursework and diverse clinical skills necessary to provide patient care. These skills employed by nurses in the clinical setting can serve as the basis for the inclusion of the nursing profession as a STEM-designated profession by the federal government and educational institutions within the US. Problem: Currently, the US government does not acknowledge the profession of nursing as a STEM-designated profession. Acknowledgment of nursing as a STEM profession could potentially make more funding available for nursing education within the US and address nursing shortages both in clinical and academic settings. As well as position professional nurses for careers not only within the health sector but that of business and industry because of nurses' STEM knowledge. Hence, enhancing the growth of STEM within the US and creating global market economic competitiveness with new innovation development. Approach: In the practice of nursing, nurses apply the sciences, math, and innovative technology in the assessments, diagnoses, and planning of patients' care. Nurses implement scientifically-based interventions to treat illness and sustain human life and to ultimately evaluate the outcomes of the care provided to patients. Outcomes: Methodologies of evaluation of outcomes of patient care status post nursing interventions (ie, administration of intravenous antibiotics to treat pneumonia) are based upon rationales that have been derived from evidencedbased practice and nursing research; both originating from applied STEM knowledge. ---This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. CREATIVE CONTROVERSYThis section of the Nursing Forum is set aside to allow for authors to propose "wild ideas" for our consideration. The purpose of a Creative Controversy is to break with traditional thinking and pose a new way of considering an issue. Sometimes these ideas are a small stretch of the imagination; other times they are radical departures from the norm. Both are designed to stimulate conversation about a topic that concerns the profession. We are pleased to bring readers this Creative Controversy.

“…Unfortunately, competency tests have revealed that a considerable number of science teachers in Indonesia do not meet the required standards, scoring poorly in competency assessments [39]. Merely transmitting knowledge without fostering critical thinking and deeper understanding may result in students who can merely recite scientific facts, lacking a deeper comprehension of the subject [40]. The pivotal role of the teacher involves creating an enriching and enjoyable learning environment that challenges students and makes learning a rewarding experience [41].…”

This study aimed to i) analyse learning problems in science at boarding schools for junior high school students and ii) determine the effectiveness of science learning in the context of Islamic teachings using the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, -religion (STEM-R) approach to improve reflective and critical thinking skills. The research method applied in this study was a sequential exploratory mixed method. The research design consisted of five stages: i) qualitative data gathering, ii) qualitative data analysis, iii) quantitative data gathering, iv) quantitative data analysis, and v) data interpretation. The subjects of this study were 192 students from boarding schools and were divided into 6 groups. The research results obtained were the school, parents, science teachers and religion teachers’ vision and mission causing students to like or dislike science. An excellent teacher is viewed by students as someone who can make learning enjoyable, exhibit creativity in presenting educational material, possess the ability to motivate, link science and religion, engage in investigative activities, infuse humour, establish connections between science and everyday life, and communicate concepts effectively. Moreover, distinctions in reflective thinking and critical thinking abilities were observed between the experimental group and the control group. Learning that connects science and Islamic religion and examines STEM-R aspects is able to develop students' thinking skills.
