“…Regarding the effect of iSTEM education on students' cognitive and affective outcomes, several empirical studies have found a positive impact. It has been found to improve students' achievement (Austin, Hirstein, & Walen, 1997;Hurley, 2001), interest in STEM (Mustafa, Ismail, Tasir, Said & Haruzuan, 2016;Riskowski, Todd, Wee, Dark & Harbor, 2009), motivation to learn (Gutherie, Wigfield, & VonSecker, 2000;Stohlmann, Moore, & Roehrig, 2012) and career interest in STEM (Koul et al, 2017). To our knowledge, no study has investigated the effect of iSTEM education on students' engagement.…”

“…Within this shift towards more student-centred learning environments, the current international focus in STEM education includes a movement towards integrating the separate STEM disciplines in the curriculum through 'integrated STEM' (iSTEM) (Honey, Pearson, & Schweingruber, 2014;Koul, Fraser, Maynard, & Tade, 2017;Moore & Smith, 2014;Nadelson & Seifert, 2017;Sanders, 2009). 'iSTEM' can generally be defined as 'the seamless amalgamation of content and concepts from multiple STEM disciplines.…”

In this paper, we explore how students' engagement varies in different STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) learning environments. More specifically, we focus on the significance of a learning environment applying an integrated STEM (iSTEM) approach and the significance of STEM learning environments' student-centredness. Moreover, we explore the relative importance of different student-centred principles (lesson plan and implementation, communicative interactions, student-teacher relationships) for students' engagement in the STEM learning environment. Applying a mixed-method approach, we draw from observational data of 24 STEM lessons in combination with data from seven focus groups with 67 grade 9 students. The quantitative findings, based on the observational data, show that a learning environment applying an iSTEM approach seems to support students' engagement. Further investigation made it clear that the student-centredness in this learning environment is especially significant. Regarding the specific student-centred principles, all principles had a significant impact on students' engagement. The focus group data make clear that, besides student-centredness, the integrative aspect and the use of authentic real-world problems in iSTEM can also be engaging for students. These results indicate that iSTEM is a good practice to engage students in the STEM learning environment, as it facilitates teachers' implementation of a general student-centred approach.

“…This condition must consider students' cognitive interests, aspirations and emotional lives to develop (Woodhouse, 2017). The importance of the learning environment influences student achievement and attitudes, (Ghosh, 2015;Koul, Fraser, Maynard, & Tade, 2018;Marchesi & Cook, 2012) reported that in the schools of Appalachian states in West Virginia, nearly 51000 students dropped out of high school due to less than 85 -90% attendance, serious discipline violations, and stress in learning. Learning environment in classrooms embodies relationships between teachers, students, and student attitudes (López et al, 2018).…”

“…The nature of emotional learning that influences how behavior is carried out leads to a learning environment or behavioral responses that appear on different time scales (Lowe, 2014). To get information about emotional learning, the right instrument is of course needed to be applied in Indonesia.The Learning Environment Research (LER) measurement scale was chosen in the modification of the ELVI instrument, based on recommendation of (Koul et al, 2018) about LER in Asia, that there is room for Asian researchers to modify the study environment study. To measure the level of latent nature related to the ability of emotional learning analysis using Rasch modeling.…”

This article discusses the psychometric validity of the Indonesian version of emotional learning instruments with a scale of five and four response categories. The purpose of this study is to produce an Indonesian version of emotional learning instrument with an effective response category scale used by Indonesians. The instrument is a modification of the scale of the Learning Environment Research Questionnaire on Emotional Climate Classroom. This study is a survey of 1494 responses of 7th and 8th grade junior high school students. Samples were selected by random sampling and based on considerations of schools implementing the 2013 Curriculum. Modification instruments consisting of 43 items were tested in obtaining validity based on item difficulty estimations and psychometric criteria with Rasch modeling. The results of this study indicate that the Andrich threshold validity testing meets the monotonic characteristics and the Standardized Residual Correlation is higher, so the scale of the five response categories is more effective to measure the Indonesian version of emotional learning instruments than the scale of the four response categories. Keywords: Functionality of middle value, ELVI, Rasch Modeling

“…Por consiguiente, el desarrollo de las nuevas tecnologías está originando que los docentes busquen, identifiquen y seleccionen distintos modelos, estrategias y metodologías con el propósito de lograr una integración eficiente de las herramientas digitales en las actividades escolares (Chipere, 2017;Henriksen, Mishra y Fisser, 2016;Kou, Fraser, Maynard y Tade, 2018). En la educación virtual, los alumnos necesitan desarrollar las competencias relacionadas con la autogestión, la organización, el dominio de hardware y software, la facilidad por la tecnología y la capacidad de análisis (Cárdenas, 2018).…”

Esta investigación cuantitativa analiza las percepciones de los estudiantes sobre el uso de las tecnologías de la información y comunicación en el contexto educativo por medio de la ciencia de datos. La minería de datos permite identificar los modelos predictivos sobre el impacto de la tecnología considerando los aspectos sobre el perfil de los estudiantes (edad, género y licenciatura), las herramientas digitales Web 2.0 (Facebook, Twitter, videos Youtube) y las aplicaciones en Internet (calculadora web, simulador web y servicio en la nube). Asimismo, la regresión lineal indica que el uso de las herramientas 2.0 y aplicaciones en Internet influyen positivamente el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Por último, la ciencia de datos permite establecer los modelos predictivos sobre el uso de la tecnología en el campo educativo.
