Nor Syazwani Mohd Rasid1, Nurul Akmal Md Nasir2, Singh, Parmjit3, Cheong, Tau Han4.
Malaysian Ministry of Education (MOE) has created initiatives in the Malaysian Education Blueprint
(2013- 2025 that aim to increase teachers’ and students’ competencies in Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects and create learning experiences that will prepare
students for the considerable array of STEM career fields. There are so many effective instructional
practices suggested in integrating STEM education for teaching Mathematics. However, there are some
factors that need to be concerned in producing effective instructional practices in teaching Mathematics.
This study investigated the factors affecting instructional practices of mathematics since the
implementation STEM education. Using a descriptive design method, a questionnaire was administered
to 100 students and 50 mathematics teachers in Klang Valley. The overall mean score of all four factors
(Lesson plan and implementation, Mathematical discuss and sensemaking, task implementation, and
classroom culture) measured in this study is moderately high based on students’ and teachers’
perspectives. Teachers rated all factors higher than students’ rate. Both teachers and students agreed
that classroom culture is the important factor. There are no significant differences in the mean score of
factors among gender of students and teachers. There is significant difference in the mean score of
factors among the achieving abilities among the students.
