Sustainable science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education involves lifelong education in various domains. Active learning strategies are receiving increased attention as an important tool, and particularly online-based formative assessment interfaces, although challenges to their use remain in sustainable and flipped STEM education. In this research, we observed pre-service teachers’ (PSTs’) performance and motivation in a university STEM course that was planned as a randomized examination of 71 students during a 2017/2018 course with an online interface for sustainable and flipped formative assessment. In terms of PSTs’ standardized performance and the motivation effect survey, we gathered and examined the data to observe pre- and post-test results on adaptive assignments. Additionally, feedback from/to instructors and their log records were recorded by the proposed interface. The results demonstrate the PSTs’ positive performance and motivation, and the feedback and log records reiterate its positive influence with 98.6% participation in the sustainable and flipped online formative assessment interface. Consequently, the foremost drawbacks and challenges that current and traditional STEM education are facing are meaningfully reflected by the results obtained. Thus, the platform allows PSTs to be more involved in experimental contexts and validates learning performance, and the motivations effect survey provides a sustainable and active learning methodology for their future profession.

Active Learning Strategies

Active Learning Strategies to Improve Understanding of Fundamental Physics Objects. Physics is one of the subjects considered difficult by students. The learning strategies applied by the teacher must be well structured in order to be able to provide understanding to students. Active learning strategies need to be done to improve understanding of physics properly and correctly. This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of active learning to improve understanding of physics in prospective teachers. This active learning strategy is combined with causalitics and cognitive conflict learning methods which are applied to inter-semester course material at the end of the 2018 – 2019 school year. Learning with this combination of methods is able to provide a good understanding of existing students. The post-test results, which were compared with the pre-test results, showed an increase in the average student understanding of up to 24%. Active learning is proven to be able to improve the understanding of lecture material for students.  Keywords: active learning, physics education

This study was aimed to: (1) find out the use of active learning strategies with Peer Tutor techniques in VIII class SMPN 20 Medan on mathematics subjects, (2) find out the learning outcomes of students taught using active learning strategies with peer tutors in VII I class SMP 20 Medan on mathematics subjects, and (3) find out the effect of active learning strategies with peer tutoring techniques on mathematics learning outcomes of students in class VIII SMP 20 Medan. This research is quantiative research. The population is all students of VIII class SMPN 20 Medan. Sample of this study is class VIII 3 as the experimental class and class VIII 2 as the control class with 30 students in each class. The instrument is used to determine student learning outcomes is a multiple choice test in the form of a pre test and post test that has been valid. The reliability of the test is 0.828. In this study, the normality test on the pre test data on the experimental class obtained L (0,122) < L table (0,161) and control class pre test data obtained L (0.091) < L table (0,161). Whereas the normality test on the post test data on the experimental class obtained L (0,091) < L table (0,161) and the control class post test data obtained L (0,122) < L table (0,161), which means that the pre-test and post-test data in the study sample had a normal distribution. In the homogeneity test the pre test data obtained F (1,821) < F table (1,859) and post test data obtained F (1,643) < F table (1,859 ), which means the pre test data and post test on the sample used in the study is homogeneous population. From the results of the calculation of the analysis of variance sig.  = 0,05, obtained t (2,030) > t table (1,672), so that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. The conclusion of this study explains that the mathematics learning outcomes of students who are taught with active learning learning strategies with peer tutoring techniques are better than the mathematics learning outcomes of students who are taught with conventional learning in VIII class SMP 20 Medan 2017-2018 Academic Year.

Active learning with clickers is a common approach in high-enrollment, lecture-based courses in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. In this study, we describe the procedures that faculty at one institution used when implementing clicker-based active learning, and how they situated these activities in their class sessions. Using a mixed-methods approach, we categorized faculty into four implementation styles based on quantitative observation data and conducted qualitative interviews to further understand why faculty used these styles. We found that faculty tended to use similar procedures when implementing a clicker activity, but differed on how they situated the clicker-based active learning into their courses. These variations were attributed to different faculty goals for using clicker-based active learning, with some using it to engage students at specific time points throughout their class sessions and others who selected it as the best way to teach a concept from several possible teaching techniques. Future research should continue to investigate and describe how active-learning strategies from literature may differ from what is being implemented.

Active Learning Strategies

This research was conducted to evaluate the effects of Thinking Maps (TM)-aided Problem-based Learning (PBL) teaching method (TM-PBL) on motivation towards science learning among Fifth Graders. A quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test non-equivalent control group design was employed to measure students’ motivation towards science learning (SMTSL) in motivational factors of self-efficacy, active learning strategies, science learning value, performance goal, achievement goal, and learning environment stimulation. The sample consisted of 270 Fifth Graders aged 11 years old. The students were randomly selected and assigned to TM-PBL (n=90), PBL (n=90), and Conventional Problem Solving (CPS) (n=90) teaching groups. The SMTSL questionnaire was administered prior to and after each intervention. A MANCOVA was conducted on the post-test measures of motivation using the students’ pre-test as the covariates. The result indicated that students taught via the TM-PBL teaching method gained significantly higher levels than their counterparts from the PBL group in Self-efficacy, Active learning strategies, Achievement Goal and Learning environment stimulation. Likewise, students taught via the TM-PBL teaching method gained significantly higher levels than their counterparts from the CPS group in all motivational factors. The findings suggest that the Thinking Maps-aided Problem-Based Learning method is effective in improving motivation towards science learning among Fifth Graders. Keywords: fifth graders, motivation towards science learning, problem-based learning, thinking maps.
