Description¶

The article proposes an instructional model based on the STEM education approach to enhance ICT skills for Thai elementary students. It consists of "five main elements—principles, purpose, content, teaching and learning process and measurement and evaluation of ICT skills". The teaching and learning process uses engineering design processes as the basis of operations, and the model was synthesized from documents, teacher interviews, and expert evaluation.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• The model requires integration of science, mathematics, and technology using engineering design processes, with learners actively taking part in activities to develop knowledge with their own understanding

Constraints¶

• The model was designed for and evaluated with elementary students in Thailand

Target Learners¶

• elementary school students in Thailand

Target Learning Objectives¶

• ICT skills including information access, data collection, information presentation, usage of application software, and product creation

Claims¶

• Stem Ict Model Expert Evaluation High [+M]
• Stem Ict Model Professional Approval High [+M]

Related Theories¶

Examples¶

• Six-step engineering design process as the teaching and learning sequence
