Abstract

This article aims to: a) review the literature related to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education, Creativity-based Learning (CBL) and Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK); b) explore mathematics teachers’ and students’ perspectives on the current state, problems and needs of teaching mathematics with Creativity-based STEM; and c) develop the Creativity-based STEM integrated with TPACK teaching model for teaching mathematics for Grade 7 students. The research instruments were the questionnaires for teachers and students. The data derived from questionnaires were analyzed for mean and standard deviation. The results expressed that the teachers’ perspectives on the current state, problems and needs of teaching mathematics with Creativity-based STEM were high, moderate and high levels. In addition, the students had high needs of Creativity-based STEM approach. In addition, the content analysis was used to analyze common teaching steps of STEM and CBL. The researchers developed the teaching steps of Creative-STEM integrated with TPACK (TPACK-CSTEM) teaching model for teaching Grade 7 mathematics, i.e., a) Build inspiration to create; b) Identify the problem; c) Explore; d) Plan and Create product; e) Test and improve; and f) Present the creative product. At final, the authors raised one example of TPACK-CSTEM lesson plan for teaching the topic of Ratio, Proportion, Percentage in mathematics for Grade 7 students. This example may trigger other mathematics teachers in applying TPACK-CSTEM in teaching the topic or subject they aim to teach.
