Abstract
The purpose of this research was to study the needs of stakeholders regarding the development of Master of Education program in Teaching Science and Technology. The findings are intended to guide the improvement and enhancement of the curriculum to ensure its quality and responsiveness to the needs of learners and society. A mixed-methods approach was employed, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Data were collected using in-depth interviews and questionnaires from 71 stakeholders. The results revealed that most respondents were science and technology teachers at the primary or secondary education levels working in public institutions. There was a strong demand for a curriculum that integrates scientific content with daily life, incorporates technology in learning management, and promotes analytical thinking and problem-solving skills. Additionally, appropriate characteristics such as social responsibility and adaptability to change were emphasized. The interview results were consistent with the survey findings, with all stakeholder groups highlighting the importance of knowledge and skills necessary for science teachers in the 21st century, particularly science content knowledge, technology integration skills, and learning design. Furthermore, they desired graduates to possess the characteristics of modern teachers who are proactive in adapting and engaging in lifelong learning. In conclusion, the findings of this research demonstrate the diverse and comprehensive needs of stakeholders for the development of the Master of Education Program, which will be highly beneficial for informing the improvement and development of the Master of Education Program in Teaching Science and Technology to ensure its quality and genuine responsiveness to the needs of learners and society.
