Abstract:

As observed, Research is one on the feared subjects of both students and teachers. This study is conducted to narrate the experiences and journey of the G12 STEM Students in Research. There were collaborations among teachers in Practical Research 2 and Inquiries, Investigation, and Immersion to maximize the time and other resources. Work sheets are crafted, reviewed and edited by the Teacher-Research and utilized by the STEM students. Evaluation of the work sheet used the following parameters: clarity, content, teacher-factor and student-factor. The advantages, disadvantages, difficulties and changes to be made; and the overall reaction on the Worksheets were also included in the evaluation. Also, reflection journals were written by students regarding their experiences and their impressions on the Teachers. As a result, the Worksheets are rated as excellent in terms of clarity, content, teacher-related aspect and student-related aspect. Work sheets made the writing of each research chapter easier. But because Worksheets are provided, being absent in class turned okey for students. Difficulties in answering the Worksheets were due to language and terminologies used. Further, it was affirmed that sincere and compassionate Teachers are needed to cultivate and enrich the inquisitive and intelligent minds of the STEM students in studying and applying research in daily life.
