“…The essay test is suitable to be applied to assess students' problem-solving, which is process-oriented rather than result-oriented (Gao et al, 2020). Scenario-based problem is the most common type of test in interdisciplinary problem solving because it embodies the authenticity of a problem that engages students in it (Gao et al, 2020;Shanta, 2019;Tasir et al, 2018). The anchor scenario was raised from the intersection of basic competencies that appear between grades to compare the problem-solving achievement of Grades 7-9.…”

“…Infusing STEM approach in the education area is required since it includes the real-world context and problem solving (Maass et al, 2019;Tasir et al, 2018). Solving an interdisciplinary problem is a key component of STEM education that requires problem solving skills (Jolly, 2016).…”

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) problem-solving is necessary to be infused into the classroom. Nevertheless, the criticism of underrepresented mathematics in STEM problem-solving assessment is an issue. In this study, we develop and investigate the psychometric evidence of an integrated STEM-based mathematical problem-solving test. The product of the test was a mathematical essay test that contains three scientific scenarios related to the environment in every middle school grade. The mathematical contents were integrated into engineering-based design using the technology. Three experts filled an assessment sheet to assess content validity, which was analyzed using a content validity index (CVI) and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The result of content validity revealed that overall items were valid and reliable. The construct validity was examined using the Rasch analysis from the data of Grades 7–9 students in Indonesia (n = 286). The construct of all scenarios and prompting items indicated fit with various difficulty levels and acceptable discrimination value. Nevertheless, four prompting items were reported as misfit based on unweighted mean square value. The recommendation for improvement is emphasized in the language clarity aspect. The inter-rater reliability was also declared good. A further study is suggested to provide a computer-based test.

“…For instance, Guo et al (2022) employed online task-based teaching in geophysical courses and found that this approach enhanced teaching flexibility and promoted teaching effectiveness in science and engineering. Tasir et al (2018) devised a task-based problem-solving model to facilitate students in fostering problemsolving skills in STEM education, i.e., science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Their study presented evidence for the suitability of the task-based model in contexts of STEM education.…”
This study conducted a scientometric analysis using CiteSapce based on literature from the Web of Science (WoS) core collection and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) between 2013 and 2022. The primary objective is to comparatively explore the current status, themes, and emerging trends in task-based teaching and learning to understand this field comprehensively. The results provided insights for researchers to explore more in this field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
