Main Article Content

Abstract

STEM education has become a key focus for the upcoming education reform in Vietnam. However, it remains ambiguous for educators to imagine what STEM instruction looks like in the classroom. This article sheds light on the criteria of an effective STEM integrated instruction by analyzing and synthesizing its key characteristics identified by educators from different perspectives. Based on the review of related literature, a STEM Integrated Instruction Framework is suggested in this study as a tool to help teachers to evaluate their STEM lessons.
