Developing an Instructional Model to Promote Leaning Management Competency according to STEM approaches through the Process of Professional Communities and Social Networks for Student Teachers

Abstract

The research aimed to 1) develop a model, 2) study the results of implementing the model, and 3) evaluate the model. The research method was divided into 3 phases according to the objectives. The samples were 25 students in the second year of the General Science Program, the second semester of the academic year 2021, acquired by cluster random sampling. Research tools included 1) a teaching model, 2) an assessment test of learning management according to STEM approaches, 3) an evaluation form of learning management competency according to STEM approaches, 4) an observation form of learning management behavior according to STEM approaches and 5) a teacher’s characteristic evaluation form. Statistics used to analyze data include percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test Dependent Samples, whereas the qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis.

The results of the research were as follows:

1. The created instructional model included six components: 1) principles, 2) objectives, 3) steps, namely 3.1) creating an online classroom, 3.2) developing learning management competency according to STEM approaches, 3.3) managing learning according to STEM approaches, 3.4 ) evaluate learning management according to STEM approaches, 4) evaluate the model, 5) the condition of implementing the model, and 6) supporting system 2. Student-teachers knew learning management according to STEM approaches after implementing the model higher than before implementing the model, statistically significant at the level of .05, had competency in learning management according to STEM approaches at a high level (= 4.39), had the behavior in learning management according to STEM approaches at a high level ( = 4.36), and had teacher’s characteristic, overall at the highest level (= 4.53).
2. The instructional model had appropriateness, possibility, and advantage; overall, the quality was at the highest level (= 4.54).
