Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
STEM-based physics teaching and learning embraces creative and engaging activities for students. In addition to producing innovative learning, The STEM-Based Physics Interactive Laboratory (i-Lab) is an innovation of physics laboratory modules that incorporate Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematical elements to produce critical thinking and problem-solving students. The objective of this study was to analyse expert agreement on STEM-based physics in an interactive laboratory (i-Lab) component. The Fuzzy Delphi method with 5 Fuzzy scales was used to collect data. A total of 25 experts in various fields of physics education were chosen as respondents for the study. The data were collected and analysed using the Fuzzy triangular Fuzzy number and the position of each component was determined using the "defuzzification process". A total of six items on the questionnaire (component i-Lab) were submitted to specialists for approval and evaluation. The questionnaire was validated by three experts, with a value of Content Validity Index (CVI) of 0.941. The findings show that 93% of experts agreed that all listed components need to be included in the development of STEM-based physics-based interactive laboratory (i-Lab). The expert consensus found that the "Glass Block Refinement Index" component was ranked first for i-Lab development followed by components of "Scientific Investigation", "Mass and Inertia", "Acceleration Due To Gravity", "Specific Latent Heat of Aluminium" and "Specific Latent Heat of Water".
