Abstract

The research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of using a suggested program in space technology based on the integrative STEM approach to acquire scientific concepts for pre-service science teachers. The instructional materials were prepared, including a student’s textbook in space technology formulated according to the integrative STEM approach, a teacher’s guide for space technology topics formulated according to the integrative STEM approach. The research instruments included a scientific concepts test for space technology topics based on cognitive depth levels (recall and production, skill and concept, strategic thinking The quasi-experimental approach that was used is based on the one-group design. The research group was selected from fourth-year students in two majors (physics, elementary education with a science specialization) for the academic year 2022/2023 at the Faculty of Education, Minia University. This sample consisted of 32 male and female students. The research results indicated that the suggested program in space technology formulated according to the integrative STEM approach had an impact on acquiring scientific concepts for pre-service science teachers as well as its effectiveness.
