Class Improvement Initiative in STEM Education and Its Effect

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has made it difficult to conduct face-to-face classes since the start of the 2020 academic year. In the first semester of the 2021 academic year, efforts were made to improve the teaching and learning of mathematics and physics, which are at the core of STEM education. In an evaluation of the effect, it was suggested that teachers can support the learning of students of various readiness levels by “preparing classes so that students can study on their own after class,” “conducting classes carefully,” and “distributing Zoom recordings of classes.” Many insights into STEM education were gained through this class improvement initiative.
