“…In STEM activities, students were given a problem situation, they were asked to develop solution suggestions specific to this problem situation, they were asked to create a design suitable for the solution suggestions that they found and draw these designs. In this process, students' thinking like an engineer and making designs contributed to the emergence of this result (Astuti, Rusilowati & Subali, 2021;Ercan, 2014).…”

Despite the adoption of modern educational approaches such as activitybased, laboratory-based, technology enhanced science education, it is known that in most cases, students have difficulties in achieving desired learning goals such as developing inquiry skills and engineering knowledge. The efforts of science educators to ensure that students reach the desired learning goals have led to the development of new educational approaches. It is then necessary to put the emerging educational approaches into practice, to determine their effects in practice, and to determine the level of achieved learning goals. Therefore, the study intends to examine the effect of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) supported science teaching on the perception of inquiry learning skills and engineering knowledge level of 8th graders regarding Basic Machines unit. Quasi experimental research design was adopted. The study was conducted with 8th grade students. The participant students were recruited through easily accessible sampling method. This study was implemented during five weeks. The Inquiry Learning Level Perception Scale (ILSPS) and the Engineering Knowledge Level Scale (EKLS) were data collection tools. The data obtained revealed that STEM supported science teaching was effective on 8th graders inquiry learning skill perception and engineering knowledge levels. It is recommended to carry out comprehensive studies to reveal the effect of STEM-supported science teaching on students' design skills in the 21st century.

“…WeDo 2.0 development promotes a problem-solving approach, which is fundamental in numerous sciences, math, and engineering classes. The skill of problem-solving can reflect how somebody resolves issues precisely and reasonably (Astuti et al, 2021). Effective problem-solving approach premises four basic steps (Huei, 2015):…”

In STEAM education, Lego WeDo 2.0 robot kit is a well-known tool for introducing educational robotics in elementary schools. This kit teaches students the skills necessary for future success. It provides a wide array of educational opportunities across subjects, along with lessons and other digital resources. This article presents experimental commands/functions development in Python programming language through a Raspberry Pi, permitting a suitable connection to the Lego WeDo 2.0 robot based on Scratch WeDo 2.0 commands for STEAM robotics learning in advanced classes. The main reasons for developing the commands are that Scratch language is a novice programming, and students gain incorrect perceptions of programming behaviour. In contrast, Python is real-world programming, in which students can utilise the language in future careers, and students can also create dynamic programs in Python using WeDo 2.0. Additionally, in this study, some projects are presented using the constructed Python functions developed by us versus the same programs in Scratch as examples for activities in the STEAM classrooms using Lego WeDo 2.0 Robot Kit. The limitation of this study was the lack of testing functions in actual instructive practice for data collection about the effectiveness of Python WeDo 2.0 commands in the classroom. The contribution of this study lies in the novelty framework of the development of WeDo 2.0 Python functions, which can be utilised in STEAM robotics advanced classrooms for learning in the fields of science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics.

Problem solving skills are very important in the learning process and in everyday life. This study was conducted with the aim of analyzing what factors cause high school students to have difficulty in improving problem solving skills in physics learning. The method used is a Literature Study with qualitative analysis and reviewed 40 journals or articles in the period 2018-2022, journals obtained through Publish or Perish on the Scopus and Google Scholar databases which are certainly from trusted journals. The results obtained in this study are that the models and learning media used must be relevant because they are important factors that must be considered first in improving the problem solving abilities of high school students. In addition, students are only able to write what is known and asked, without knowing how to solve and students also still have difficulty in distinguishing the equations of physics formulas that will be used in solving problems. Efforts to improve problem solving are to use relevant learning models, such as those used by researchers from the literature study that we have done, namely PBL, PjBL, Inquiry and Discovery Learning. And STEM-based learning has also been shown to be effective in several studies to improve the problem-solving abilities of high school students in physics. And students also need a lot of practice in solving problem solving problems.
