Pengenalan

IBSE means students progressively developing key scientific ideas through learning

how to investigate and build their knowledge and understanding of the world

around. They use skills employed by scientists such as raising questions, collecting

data, reasoning and reviewing evidence in the light of what is already known,

drawing conclusions and discussing results. This learning process is all supported

by an inquiry-based pedagogy, where pedagogy is taken to mean not only the act

of teaching but also its underpinning justifications. (IAP, 2010, p.18)

Inquiry-based learning is an education approach that focuses on investigation and

problem-solving. Inquiry-based learning is different from traditional approaches

because it reverses the order of learning. Instead of presenting information, or ‘the

answer’, up-front, teachers start with a range of scenarios, questions and problems

for students to navigate. (Department of Education, Skills and Employment

Australia, 2020)

Inquiry-based approaches to learning are active pedagogical strategies that

develop students’ abilities to ask questions, design investigations, solve problems,

interpret data and evidence, form explanations and arguments, and communicate

findings. (McDonald, 2016, p.538)

Inquiry-based learning is more than asking a student what he or she wants to know.

It’s about triggering curiosity. And activating a student’s curiosity is, I would

argue, a far more important and complex goal than mere information delivery.

(Wolpert-Gawron, 2016)

Berpandukan petikan-petikan di atas, cuba renung apakah matlamat pembelajaran berasaskan
inkuiri?

Pembelajaran berasaskan inkuiri mendorong pemahaman ilmu dan pembangunan kemahiran
yang diperlukan oleh murid pada abad ke-21. Pendekatan ini sesuai digunakan dalam semua
disiplin STEM bagi memberikan peluang kepada murid terlibat dalam aktiviti autentik dan
bermakna yang berkaitan dengan dunia sebenar (McDonald, 2016). (Sila rujuk Lampiran
S10-1.)

Apabila anda dengar mengenai “STEM”, apakah yang terlintas dalam fikiran anda? Sebelum
anda baca dengan lebih lanjut, sediakan pensel dan kertas. Kemudian, luangkan sedikit masa
untuk menulis apa-apa sahaja yang ada dalam fikiran anda mengenai “STEM”.

Buat masa ini, adakah pengajaran dan pembelajaran kelas anda mengintegrasikan STEM?
Jelaskan.

STEM ialah akronim yang biasa digunakan untuk menggambarkan pendidikan atau amalan
profesional dalam disiplin sains, teknologi, kejuruteraan dan matematik.
