The Study Results of Learning Management Competency according to STEMApproaches through the Process of Professional Learning Communities and SocialNetworks of Student Teachers in Mathematics, Chaiyaphum Rajabhat University

Abstract

This research employed Quasi Experimental Design and aimed to study the competency of STEM learning management through the process of professional learning communities and social networks for student teachers in Mathematics, Chaiyaphum Rajabhat University. The samples were 52 students, of the second year in Mathematics from the Bachelor of Education program (4 years), Faculty of Education in Chaiyaphum Rajabhat University, enrolled in the Instructional Science 2 Course, semester 2 in the academic year 2022 which were acquired by purposive sampling. Research tools include 1) a teaching model to promote learning management competency in accordance with STEM approaches through the process of professional learning community and social networks for student teachers, 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 characteristics evaluation form. Statistics used to analyze data include percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The results of the research were as follows:

          1) Student teachers in Mathematics had knowledge and understanding about learning management according to the STEM approaches after implementing the model higher than before.

          2) Student teachers in Mathematics had competency in learning management according to STEM approaches, overall, at a high level.

          3) Student teachers in Mathematics had the learning management behavior according to STEM approaches, overall, at a high level.

          4) Student teachers in Mathematics had the teacher characteristics according to STEM approaches, overall, at the high level.
