STEM EDUCATION FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THE SPORT HISTORY AND POLICY OF THAILAND

Abstract

STEM Education is a process used for developing the learners’ thinking and problem solving skills by integrating the knowledge among science, technology, engineering, and mathematic. This study aimed to conduct the STEM to solve and promote teaching and learning ina difficult understanding course. For this, we investigated the 6th National Sports Development Plan on the strategy I: physical education for children and youth set in basic courseas in early elementary level (elementary school children) by using the STEM process. Results show that a) the Science was insome areasof sport biology / physiology for setting an exercise program with intensity, duration, and frequency together with in some areas of physic related to body weight dynamic; mass, force, time, direction and velocity, b) the technology was used for elementary students’ body movement analysis, at before and after using the physical education stations such as VDO Analysis System for measuring the effectiveness of the physical exercise program, c) the engineering was conducted for product design by using some areas of physic related to body weight dynamic; mass, force, time, direction and velocity for designating the product proportion and size which was eligible for elementary school children, and d) the Mathematic was used for settin garating scale for measuring the elementary students’ physical exercise skill level at before and after using the designed equipment by the STEM. This study suggests that the use of the STEM is perfect
for enhancing the teachers’ instructing and the students’ learning skills effectively.
