Abstract:
Problem solving and creativity capacity is one of the important general competencies that need to develop for students in general, high school students in particular. STEM education is an interdisciplinary teaching perspective to equip students with necessary knowledge and skills related to the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. These knowledge and skills must be taught integrally to help learners apply those knowledge in specific contexts.This article presents the principles, structure and organizational process of teaching STEM education to develop problem solving and creativity capacity for students through teaching hydrocarbon derivative chemistry in high school.
