STEEEM MODEL: A THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK TO ASSESS STEM-BASED LEARNING IN SCIENCE EDUCATION

<p>The current study aims to propose the <strong>STEEEM</strong> model for assessing students’ learning in science according to the STEM approach, bridging the gap between authentic assessment practices and traditional classroom methods. The study applied analytical and descriptive methodologies, gathering empirical data via a structured questionnaire and evaluating pertinent literature for the last ten years. The sample consisted of 89 female pre-service science teachers who were enrolled in Sohar University's Teacher Preparation Program during the 2024–2025 academic year. They were chosen based on their solid backgrounds in biology, chemistry, physics, and teaching procedures. A 30-item questionnaire to gather data covering six dimensions of assessment: <strong>S</strong>cientific skills, <strong>T</strong>echnological skills, <strong>E</strong>ngineering design processes, <strong>E</strong>ntrepreneurial skills, <strong>E</strong>xtended skills, and <strong>M</strong>athematical skills. The significance of the study falls in line with the direct potential to guide science curriculum development and equip teachers with practical skills to implement performance-based assessments aligned with STEM philosophy and its educational aspects.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0804/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
