Description
Summary:This study is highlighting the use of module as a teaching material for teachers in teaching STEM for Indigenous Education. Although Indigenous students have high knowledge with the flora and fauna, inappropriate teaching techniques and teaching materials have increasing the education gap between the STEM and the Indigenous students. Moreover, the implementation of moral values could not be done effectively. Thus, the objective of this study is to develop a Forest STEM Module based on wilderness to inculcate moral values for Indigenous students. This module is using a constructivist learning theory that merging the 5E Instructional Model and 8 Aboriginal Ways of Teaching and Learning to create an active learning environment. The developed Forest STEM Module is evaluated by 17 STEM experts qualitatively through an open-ended survey. The responses are analyzed using content analysis and Inter-rater Reliability (IRR) test. This research found out that the overall satisfaction of this quality module is 76.47% for IRR test indicating a sufficient amount of agreement from experts that the Forest STEM Module is appropriate to be used as a teaching material for Indigenous Education. Therefore, this Forest STEM Module could be used for educators to increase the motivation and academic achievement in STEM for Indigenous students.
