Keywords:
science, module, STEM, DDRAbstract
This paper discusses the development and assessment of STEM Inspirational Module. In this study a total of 20 students of Form One (13 years old) and two teachers become sample of the research. The module's development theory and methods are described in detail through two phases in Design and Development Research (DDR), which is the Development and Implementation Phase. This research uses a purposive sampling technique that collecting data from panel of expert (lecturer), three teachers and 20 students. Research instruments used are questionnaires and structured interviews conducted to both the teachers and the students. Data were collected and analysis of mean and percentages were carried out. The findings show that majority of the students and teachers have moderate perception towards the items tested. Through the implementation of STEM Inspirational Module, the teachers can encourage inquiry-learning.References
