Asking Phase on How to Land to The Moon: Engineering Design Process (EDP) For STEM Education
Keywords:
Asking phase, Engineering design process, Science education, STEM, Social constructivismAbstract
STEM education is important for the twenty-first-century student, and there are several challenges that educators face when it comes to implementing it. One of the greatest challenges in implementing STEM education in schools is addressing the misconceptions and stereotypes that surround these subjects. Some people, even teachers, believe that STEM subjects are too difficult or only suitable for certain students. This can create barriers to participation and discourage students from pursuing their interests in these fields. Theory based on Social Constructivism is the central pillar in the discussion of this article, and it focuses on the Asking Phase in Engineering Design Process (EDP). Students are required to identify the needs and constraints when university students apply the Asking Phase in one of the Engineering Design Process in a parachute activity with the title Landing to the Moon. There are four questions involved namely, how does students discuss on the main goal of the activity, resources that they have, needs or challenges to be considered, and the available resources that can overcome the challenges and achieve their goals. A case study has been designed and the method of selecting respondents is through cluster sampling, which is to choose seven groups of Science Education students at public universities in Selangor. The results of the study showed that four (4) aspects of achievement are required for the goal of the project, three (3) main resources were chosen to start the project, eight (8) challenges need to be considered, and nine (9) ways to overcome the challenges and to ultimately achieve the project.
