| Popis: | STEM education implementation in Indonesia particularly in elementary level is still weakly established although it should have its own place in the development of the required 21st century skills. Therefore, this study aimed to identify curriculum content which intercept with STEM subjects as well as teachers’ understanding about STEM and its potential integration in elementary curriculum. This study deploys qualitative explanatory method. Data collection was done by the use of form to help analyse curriculum contents which potentially joint STEM subjects both in the Core Standards and thematic text books of grades K4-K6. Online questionnaire is used to gather data about teachers’ knowledge of STEM and its potential in the curriculum practice. Results indicated that national curriculum strongly supports the enhancement of STEM education in upper elementary school level. Yet, almost all teachers were not familiar with STEM, its importance, nor how it is implemented in classroom learning. So, teachers require further professional development to improve their competences in designing and implementing STEM learning according to national curriculum standards in classroom level. |
