  5. 2. Country Educational Environment • Overall Country Education Environment • MOE: # of schools 9922, # of students 5.4mil, # of teachers ~410k • MARA : # of schools 45, # of students ~22k, # of teachers ~2.5k • Literacy rate: 89% age 15 & above • STEM(1)* Education in your country (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. See below speaker note for detail) • Scope: STEM education for schools only for discussion purpose • Do you have National STEM Master/Development plan in place? No • STEM is one of your national focus? Key STEM goals? Yes. • STEM researches, curriculum, professional development efforts in place? Innovation is part of co-curriculum academic program for MOE. • How many STEM educators? NA

  6. 3. Country Science Fairs * What is the status of Science Fairs in your area? • Existing: Please complete if your country has participated in Intel ISEF • How many science fairs are held? 3 national level science fairs (1 MOE, 2 MARA: lower & upper secondary) • How is the community or government involved? MOE & MARA as organizers • Approximately how many students entered this year, (2009-2010 academic year)? • MOE: ~300 projects per year, ~30-35 student finalists at national level • MARA: ~400 students, ~200 projects per year

  7. 4. Country STEM Education Challenges • Identifying key challenges in your country esp on STEM education will help you to focus when you build country action plan later: What are the top 3 obstacles and challenges you face in STEM education in your country? (Below are Sample Topics; feel free to choose your own topics; please identify and summarize only three areas). • Do teaching practices support project based learning? Yes (Science & Maths classes). • Research as part of the curriculum. MOE: students in co-curricular activities, teachers in curricular; MARA: part of curricular activities to enrich learning • Organization and management: Is there district/community/government support? Yes • Quality of projects: Do projects involve research and experimentation? Yes. • Quantity of participants: Are you competing with other programs? Yes.

  8. General Challenges • Lack of awareness/skills among teachers/students of the correct procedure or process of doing research • Lack of funds and financial support from organizations • Lack of time to complete projects • Lack of mentors in certain areas • Lack of awareness among institutions and community on the importance of students performing science research especially in rural/remote areas • Lack of facilities which are related to doing the scientific research • Too much emphasis on academic goals & grades makes students less interested in participating in science projects • Some projects are hurried, inadequate research and experimentation

  9. Part II:Country Action PlanAdvancing STEM Education 9

  10. High Level Goals Long term goals Implement student centered, inquiry based learning in and outside the classroom in schools Instill awareness and motivate teachers on STEM innovative activities via professional development activities Develop support materials/modules/kits for student and teacher Track alumni (Intel ISEF & others) Short term goals Create platform for sharing experience and best practices: workshops Establish network of mentors to assist students Improve scientific review and judging Documentation of best cases & practices Smart partnership with relevant agencies & bodies e.g. MOSTI, UMW-Toyota, MARA, Universities 10

  11. Objectives How will you know you succeeded? # of entries in local or national science fairs # of wins in international science fairs # of schools participating in researches # of people participating in sharing platform (# hits) # of mentors # of partners 11

  12. Action Plan: Steps to Meet Your Goals and Objectives 12

  13. Reflection on ASEA 2010 Highlight what your team felt was the key learning Teamwork and sharing is crucial in achieving success What can be better? Content should be aligned with the relevant tracks Which presentations were the most beneficial for your team? #1 KOFAC: holistic planning STEM strategies #2 Mariana’s Taiwan: insight into successful deployment of science fair/program/research #3 Neves’s Smithsonian: eye-opener of the role it plays in science education in the world What would you recommend to improve? Thematic approach, narrower topic, same audience profile Which posters were the most beneficial for your team? #1 Karen Merrill’s: Resources to support STEM development #2 Mobile IT: Can be adapted in the remote areas of the country What would you recommend to improve? Congratulation, good setup What types of presentations/posters/activities were missing? Continuous display throughout the seminar 13

  14. Continuing The Momentum Built; ASEA2010 Next Steps & Call for your participation Organizers will create “Asia Community of Science Educators”: Would you like to join the community? (If No, pls explain) Yes On Day 4, organizers will call for “ASEA2010 Declaration”, asking for continued engagement and collaboration; Would you like to participate in the declaration act? (If No, pls explain) Yes if non-binding As part of sustaining strategy for ASEA2010, organizers will call for “ASEA Steering Committee” among delegates/speakers/organizers Would you like to join the steering committee? (If No, pls explain) No Steering Committee may provide regular webinars and online activities, throughout the year until the ASEA2011 Would you like to join the webinars as either speakers or participants? (If No, pls explain) Yes 14
