Abstract

 

This research aimed to 1) compare the scientific competency of pre-service general science teachers before and after using science learning management model through STEM education 2) compare the STEM education attitudes of pre-service general science teachers before and after using science learning management model through STEM education. The samples were 30 pre-service general science teachers in the second semester of 2020 academic year from Collage of Teacher Education, Phranakorn Rajabhat University. They were selected by cluster random sampling. The instrument which employed to collect data were: 1) lesson plans using science learning management model through STEM education and 2) tests of STEM education attitudes. Data were analyzed by using average, standard deviation, and t-test dependent. The finding was as follows: 1) The pre-service general science teachers had developed the scientific competency throughout the study. The pre-service general science teachers’ scores were significantly higher than before teaching at the statistical level of .05. 2) The pre-service general science teachers had STEM education attitudes’ scores were significantly higher than before teaching at the statistical level of .05.
