Designing instrument to measure STEM teaching practices of Malaysian teachers.

ABSTRACT: The remarkable upsurge in the attention for STEM education globally has inspired many countries including Malaysia to formulate STEM education policies to reform the existing segmented teaching of the four STEM subjects towards integrated teaching. One of the Malaysian government's initiatives include establishing a framework as a guide for teachers to practise STEM teaching. This exploratory, mixed methods study aimed to explore Malaysian science and mathematics teachers' perceptions to practise STEM teaching and develop a questionnaire to measure factors that explain their teaching practices. The interview findings identified teachers' knowledge of interdisciplinary and related pedagogical strategies, challenges encountered in STEM teaching practices, and teachers' self-efficacy beliefs
