PRO-STEM Module: The Development and Validation
Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
This study was conducted to develop a PRO-STEM module for teaching the topic of “Biodiversity and Ecosystem” in Science for Form Two students. In this module, the concept of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) is integrated using a project-based learning approach to promote the application of higher order thinking skills (HOTS) and 21st century skills among secondary school students. This module is developed based on the Sidek Module Development Model. A total of five experts in STEM and science education were appointed to validate the PRO-STEM module. The content validity index (CVI) obtained for PRO-STEM module was .976. Findings from the pilot study were analysed and the Cronbach's alpha for reliability obtained was .924. These findings show that PRO-STEM module has good validity and reliability and is capable of being used as a teaching and learning module to integrate STEM in science classrooms.
