“…At that point, project-based learning (PBL), so called as STEM PBL, has been offered as an effective instructional strategy for developing students' engineering competencies in addition to the necessary skills of other STEM disciplines (Capraro & Slough, 2008). Various properties are attributed to STEM PBL contexts such as having interdisciplinary learning objectives, ill-defined tasks, student-centered interactive group work and collaboration, involving hands on activities, and producing or designing an artifact (Han, Capraro & Capraro, 2015). According to Capraro and Slough (2008), STEM PBL contexts in which students work on multifaceted, information rich, authentic, and ill-defined tasks with well-defined learning outcomes can be used for STEM integration.…”

“…According to Capraro and Slough (2008), STEM PBL contexts in which students work on multifaceted, information rich, authentic, and ill-defined tasks with well-defined learning outcomes can be used for STEM integration. The study by Han et al (2015) showed that STEM PBL contexts contributed to the academic achievement of low performing high school students. Roehrig (2012)'s categorization is useful in interpreting these different models through (i) content integration or (ii) context integration.…”

The purpose of this study is making a theoretical discussion on the relationship between mathematical modeling and integrated STEM education. First of all, STEM education perspective and the construct of mathematical modeling in mathematics education is introduced. A review of literature is provided on how mathematical modeling literature may contribute to theoretical conceptualization of STEM education by specifically addressing the professional competencies that teachers need. The discussion followed on how mathematical modeling activities and project-based learning contexts contribute to integrated STEM education by providing two research-based experiences, one of which is the model rocketry project carried out by pre-service physics teachers and the other one of which is a mathematical modeling activity solved by pre-service mathematics teachers.

“…The highest test score could be obtained in the following cycle in applying learning strategy.The significant increase in the result becomes an excellent opportunity for sustainable learning improvement efforts. Many researchers have taken this benefit of this learning strategy (Han et al, 2015;Halili et al, 2015;Krajcso, 2016). The optimistic side of this research was that high ICT literacy of young Indonesian generation including in the rural area could be an opportunity for the improvement of learning quality especially related to critical thinking skills.…”

Critical thinking as an outcome of learning is an essential issue in education. The application of the concept of Open Educational Resources or OER provides opportunities for students to obtain information more efficiently to support their learning. On the other hand, the collaborative learning is believed to be a robust pedagogical approach to build a good learning experience. This research describes and explores how the application of collaborative learning by using OER can enhance critical thinking skills. The method of this study was the pre-test and post-test one group design in physics lessons at secondary school students. Statistical analysis used paired t-test with an error of 5%. The teacher can measure the critical thinking skill by giving essay test. Scoring considered the process undertaken in problem-solving. The results of this study showed an increase in critical thinking skills significantly. This study also further discusses the implications associated with this research on learning physics.

“…Following the guidelines of constructivism and exploratory learning, researchers have developed integrated cross-curricular projects for students with learning and other difficulties, such as Design Based Learning (Doppelt et al, 2008) and Project Based Learning (Han et al, 2015). Design Based Learning, which relates to scientific inquiry process, motivates students to solve real problems.…”

“…However, Project Based Learning improved students' scores in mathematics and science but not to the extent it was previously expected. Moreover, "students in the low economic status group ultimately received negative impacts from their engagement" in the Project and therefore it needs to be considered whether any particular aspect of Project "was a barrier for economically disadvantaged student's learning processes" (Han et al, 2015(Han et al, , p. 1108(Han et al, -1109.…”

This article reviews 24 years of research focused on science education for students with learning and other disabilities. Our results are based on 53 articles from 2 relevant databases. We hereby present and discuss the results of the most popular topics investigated, which include: constructivism, exploratory learning, hands-on activities, cross-curricular projects, multiple means of representation, cognitive and social skills, group and peer learning, coursebooks, reading strategies, readability and students' assessment. Our results suggest that topics like teacher education, teacher/researcher co-operation, education policy, school administration and curriculum structure are scatteredly investigated. These experimental approaches and interventions may provide insight into teacher training in higher education and can explain controversial concepts regarding the question of "full inclusion, selective inclusion or excellency".
