Abstract

This study aims to implement a blended STEM learning approach to the topic of Climate Change. Teacher training on blended STEM learning approaches is conducted online. This study involves five Science option teachers who teach Biology from Kedah secondary schools. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis methods. Based on the findings, teachers are ready to implement blended STEM learning in terms of practice, concern and content pedagogy technology knowledge. Upon completing this teacher training, teachers can address environment structuring, goal setting, time management, help-seeking, task strategies, and self-evaluation in their teaching practices. Teachers who master the concept of blended STEM learning can explain the characteristics of diverse technology applications and can choose how to implement blended STEM learning related to the topic of climate change. This teacher training has produced teachers who can make decisions, are confident and able to monitor their actions to apply blended STEM learning in various topics, activities and use of online technology. Teachers can diversify activities and be more creative by adding different digital applications to use on other topics that can be modified according to student's needs and abilities. Therefore, teacher training to implement this blended STEM learning approach helps teachers to implement effective blended teaching and learning for the topic of Climate Change.
