    The Effectiveness Of Stem Integration Module Using Engineering Design Process (Istem-Edp) To Enhance Fifth Graders’ Collaboration, Problem-Solving, And Stem Attitudes In China
    (2025-10)
    Yan, Yasong
    The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of the istem-edp module on collaboration, problem-solving, and stem attitudes among fifth graders in chinese primary schools. The study applied the theories of piaget’s cognitive developmental theory, vygotsky’s social development theory, bandura’s social learning theory, and the framework for k-12 quality engineering education. The istem-edp module was developed based on the chinese new science curriculum standard and textbook according to the addie instructional design model. The study employed a nonequivalent control group, pretest-posttest experimental design. One fifth-grade class (treatment group) took a 6-week istem-edp module, while another class (control group) took science classes as normal. There were 60 students in each group, with equal numbers of girls and boys. The data was collected from pretest and posttest via three likert scales for each group and analysed by ibm spss statistics version 26. The one-way manova results revealed that the istem-edp module had significant positive effects on fifth graders’ collaboration, problem-solving, and stem attitudes. In addition, the study also found that the istem-edp module promoted gender equality in collaboration and problem-solving but exacerbated the gender gap in stem career interest of stem attitudes.

    The Effects Of The Engineering Designbased Stem Module In Enhancing Conceptual Understanding Of Force And Motion And Motivation Of Primary School Stem Learning In China
    (2025-08)
    Kangkang, Luo
    Primary STEM education in China faces persistent challenges in developing students' conceptual understanding and sustaining their learning motivation. To address these issues, this study developed and evaluated an Engineering Design-Based STEM (EDB-STEM) module for third-grade students, focusing on Force and Motion concepts. The EDB-STEM module was developed using the ADDIE Model, incorporating engineering design principles and supported by multiple learning theories including constructivism, expectancy-value theory, situated learning, and selfdirected learning.

    Design, Development And Evaluation Of Mysuara Apps On Teacher-Student Interaction For Student With Complex Communication Needs
    (2025-09)
    Rajagopal, Kalaimathi
    Grounded in the Design and Developmental Research (DDR) framework proposed by Richey and Klein (2007), the present study guides the design, development, and evaluation of the MySuara app. This study aims to 1) explore teacher-student interactions, 2) use the insights gained to design and develop the MySuara application, and 3) assess the developed app's usability and its impact on reciprocal interactions involving a special education teacher and a student with complex communication needs. The research employs a three-phase sequential mixed-method approach. The first qualitative phase involves semi-structured interviews with five special education teachers from Penang and Kedah. Insights from these interviews informed the design and development of the MySuara application in the second phase. Usability testing was conducted with twelve teachers and two speech therapists, who tested the app before completing surveys. The third phase tested MySuara's impact on teacher and student interactions through six intervention sessions with an experienced special education teacher and a student diagnosed with Autism.
