RESEARCH ON STEM EDUCATION MODEL INTEGRATING PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING IN VIETNAMESE PRIMARY SCHOOLS

Tóm tắt

This paper focuses on the application of the STEM education model based on Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in primary schools in Vietnam. By analysing the theoretical foundations of STEM and PBL, the study investigates the current implementation of this integrated model in selected primary schools. The findings highlight both advantages and challenges, including teacher capacity, infrastructure and instructional materials. The study reveals that STEM PBL contributes positively to the development of problem-solving skills, critical thinking and teamwork among primary students. However, several obstacles hinder its widespread and effective adoption. The paper concludes with recommendations and orientations to enhance the application of the STEM PBL model in Vietnam's primary education system in the coming years.
