Tóm tắt

Representation competency is one of the three components of natural science competence (according to the high school curriculum in 2018) that needs to be emphasized for students' development. To foster this competency in learners, innovation in teaching methods is essential. In this article, we investigated the current status of applying the 5E teaching model and STEM education to develop the representation competency that learners have acquired. Through the results obtained from this investigation, we aim to construct a teaching plan that integrates the 5E teaching model and STEM in the theme 'substance and changes in matter' for 8th-grade natural science class and conduct pedagogical experiments to assess the feasibility of developing the representation competency in students. Teachers can apply the research findings to various topics and subjects to develop the representation competency acquired in students.
