Abstract
STEM can be simply a collective name for four primary disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. However, when the term STEM is used for addressing education policy and curriculum, it typically refers to an integrative approach to teaching and learning (Bybee, 2010; English, 2017; Kelley & Knowles, 2016; Skilling, 2019; Wan et al., 2021a). Integration in STEM education has been emphasized in government policies worldwide to differentiate the current trend of STEM education from traditional discipline-based STEM education (Cheng & So, 2020; Hoeg & Bencze, 2017; Wan et al., 2022). Although the significance of promoting integrative STEM education has been widely
recognized and a considerable number of studies have been conducted in recent years, the research on the integration in STEM education as a distinct field of study is still in
its embryonic stages (English, 2016; Honey et al., 2014; Perignat & Katz-Buonincontro, 2019).
