Abstract

Since Malaysia engaged to become a developed country and compete globally, Chemistry, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (CTEM) integrated into Malaysia education since the year 2017. This study determined students’ achievement in CTEM at urban schools. The Methodology for this study was quasi-experimetal with a sample of 30 students. The instrument used for data collection was test validated by two experts and reliability index of 0.79 was obtained. . The findings showed that the urban students learning CTEM for chemistry topics were still in improvement stage. It was concluded that learning achievement and performance such as critical thinking, creatitivity, problem-solving and innovative skills get improved as the CTEM are continuously integrated into the curriculum of urban schools.

Summary

Introduction

In the 21st century, Malaysia intends to become a developed country to compete with other countries globally. Malaysia Education Blueprint 20132015 stated that Malaysia's education is enrolled in a system called STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) in education in expectations of better productivity. This is in reference to Curriculum Development Division statement that STEM aims to assist or manage students’ views align with a scientific view or science literacy in the future that they are able to fulfil the job relate to STEM [2]. STEM is an approach that departure away from typical and traditional instruction and followed by professional development under well planned and delivered to students [3][4]
