Teaching and learning stem through a Thai cultural context

Chueamueangphan, Bunchong (2021) Teaching and learning stem through a Thai cultural context. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

In rural primary schools in Thailand, students face a lack of resources for STEM education. A learning approach called Culturally Relevant STEM Education (CRSE) was proposed in this study to enhance rural students’ STEM education. The CRSE approach used local materials based on the local culture to develop students’ STEM knowledge and skills. This study trialled and refined the CRSE approach through collaboration between researcher and practitioner, thereby probing the potential of CRSE to advance the learning of STEM in Thailand, particularly in a rural context. It created teacher guidelines to support teachers’ use of CRSE in the classroom.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
