A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF IPST
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 3rd International Science, Mathematics and Technology Education Conference, ISMTEC 2016, held at the Ambassador Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand. This exciting conference is made possible by the collaboration of co-hosting organizations, sponsors, the members of numerous organizing committees, and of course the educators who will give more than 90 presentations during the four days. The conference theme “STEM Education: Preparing a Workforce for the Future” is a refmection on the rapidly changing world infmuenced by engineering, science and technology, and the demand for highly creative graduates to engage in STEM-related fjelds in order to meet the many critical challenges faced by our planet and its inhabitants, as well as to develop innovative ways to live cooperatively within a healthy biosphere and how to sustain it. Four outstanding keynote speakers who are leaders in STEM education innovation highlight the conference. Pamela McCauley, a professor at the University of Central Florida informs about “Leadership and innovation: the critical intersection for STEM success”; Allan Schneitz, COO of LifeLearn from Finland and Singapore, explores the “Magic Hidden in STEM Education”; Birgit Thomann of Germany’s Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB), addresses STEM in vocational education settings in her presentation, “Promise, Promotion, Prospect –STEM in Vocational Education and Training in Germany”; Stephon Alexander of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island connects science and music in his talk, “The Jazz of Physics: Embracing the Improvisation of STEM Careers”. Six Special Presenters are among the scores of educators from many countries whose presentations illustrate the importance of STEM education in a variety of formats: hands-on workshops, research papers, posters and slide show
- lectures. We are confjdent that this diverse group of educators will inform and inspire participants.
We are grateful to the four co-hosts who have supported IPST in the development and organization of ISMTEC 2016:
- Science and Mathematics Teacher Association of Thailand (SMTAT)
- South East Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO)
- Department of American and South Pacifjc Affairs, Thailand Ministry of Foreign Affairs
- International Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA)

19th - 22nd October 2016, Bangkok, Thailand I also would like to thank the many dedicated staff members at IPST who have worked for months to organize and coordinate ISMTEC 2016. This conference would not be possible without their persistence in planning, making phone calls, meeting with sponsors and exhibitors, communicating with participants and speakers, developing the conference website, writing letters, gathering materials, designing brochures, and attending organizational meetings. The list of jobs to be done and those who do them is long. We at IPST hope you enjoy ISMTEC 2016, Bangkok, the dynamic host city, and beautiful Thailand. We wish you a pleasant stay and conference experience. Thank you!
- Dr. Pornpun Waitayangkoon

The Jazz of Physics: Embracing the Improvisation of STEM Careers
Stephon Alexander is a theoretical physicist at Brown University specializing in the interface between cosmology, particle physics and quantum gravity (String Theory and Loop Quantum Gravity). He received his BSc (1993) from Haverford College and PhD (2000) from Brown University. He held postdoctoral fellowships at Imperial College, London and The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, and recently was a professor of physics at Dartmouth University.
- Dr. Alexander asks big questions, such as How did the space and time that govern our universe come into being? Intrigued
at an early age by quantum theory, Einstein’s theory of relativity, and string theory, he now works to unify them in his search for a theory of quantum gravity. “There’s a world of phenomena and theories that do very well in making cell phones work,” he explains.“But at the same time, other evidence we are calling ‘dark matter’ is still absolutely mysterious. My discoveries come through calculations as I tease nature into revealing her secrets.” “My childhood was full of surprises,” he remembers. “I learned that you can’t always hold on to things; it taught me the idea of embracing the
- unknown. Our culture tells us to try and control situations. Instead, I’ve always coped with unexpected events by making
theories about why they may be happening.”

How Research on Technology could Impact Developments in STEM Education: Trends and Examples
After receiving his degrees in mathematics and physics in Hungary, Zsolt completed degrees in applied mathematics and mathematics education at the Universities of Cincinnati and Michigan respectively. His PhD degree at the University
- f Cambridge focused on investigating issues in relation to the use of technologies in mathematics education. After
completing his PhD, Zsolt taught educational research methodologies and mathematics education in Cambridge and
- ther universities around the world. Currently, he is working in numerous research projects worldwide related to
technology integration into schools; offering educational research training courses at a number of universities; leading a doctoral programme in STEM education at Johannes Kepler University; and coordinates research projects within the International GeoGebra Institute. Abstract: Technology is increasingly becoming an important part of STEM teaching and learning in the 21st Century. There have been numerous attempts to integrate technology into education systems, but without serious development and research the success of these attempts had been limited. In my talk, I will highlight the importance of research in technology- supported education and describe some research projects attempting to make larger impact on STEM teaching and
- learning. I will particularly outline fjndings four projects making sizable contribution to STEM education.
- 1. GeoGebra, an open-source project offering accessible software for STEM education and currently used by more
than 40 million teachers and students around the globe;
- 2. Geomatech, a large-scale EU funded project developing high-quality materials and teacher training resources with
the aim to embed technology use into entire education systems;
- 3. KIKS (Kids Inspire Kids) project, endeavours to involve students in STEM projects and encourage them to develop
programmes that inspires their peers to study STEM subjects;
- 4. Experience Workshop Movement, aims to integrate Arts into STEM teaching through physical and virtual spaces,
which are developed together by researchers, artists, teachers and students. Contributions of these and other projects could enable teachers to involve new ways to teach STEM and students to engage in experimentation, exploration and discovery within these subjects. Through such efforts and the understanding
- f their effects we could contribute to the more widespread study of STEM subjects and to the preparation of the future
workforce.

- skills. Human resource skills include not merely information or knowledge but also a variety of novel skills such as
communicating and collaborating more effectively as most innovations of the 21st century are carried out
- collectively. Being capable of maximizing the benefjt of knowledge, the skill is required to generate innovations
through the job market, which can contribute to the society and the wealth of a nation. In relation to this perspective, this paper comes out as a result of a program that was carried out by involving students at a lower secondary school level in the states of Peninsular Malaysia. These students, in the program named “Engineers of the Future”, have functioned as designers for products such as greeting cards, posters and comics based on topics in science subjects they have learned in school.
