Localized STEM Lesson in Teaching Biodiversity for Grade 8 Learners
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aimed to develop a localized STEM lesson in teaching biodiversity for Grade 8 learners. The developed learning material would give students a thorough knowledge of the topic in terms of its meaning, applicability, and importance. It would be easier for them to understand the topic and reinforce their critical thinking abilities since the lesson is localized. The learning competencies outlined in the science curriculum guide were the foundation of this STEM lesson. The developed localized STEM lesson was evaluated by the experts in this field. Comments and suggestions of the evaluators were considered in improving the material. The learning material was rated as excellent in terms of learning objectives, learning content, degree of contextualization, and STEM lesson stages. Therefore, it is valid and acceptable instructional material as derived from the findings and analysis.
