ABSTRACT
Due to the global trend and the international application of STEM education as well as in/post pandemic COVID-19 condition, this ongoing study aims to elucidate the development progress
of an online STEM teachers’ professional development (STEM-TPD) package with the DECODE
model. In this/post-pandemic era, online STEM education has been gradually emphasized. The
researchers sustained the rationale for organizing STEM-TPDs to improve teacher practices by
enhancing superior knowledge needed for the betterment of STEM implementations. Indeed, the
DECODE model includes three stages: (1) DE: teacher’s DEmonstrations, (2) CO: students CO-train
the use of cloud classroom, students CO-design an educational technology-integrated course,
and (3) DE: students CO-teach, eventually students receive feedbacks and DEbrief what they have
learned through the stages mentioned above. Moreover, face and content validity have been
deployed to guarantee the quality of the developed packages. The ongoing result from this study
is produced to validate the online STEM-TPD package with the DECODE model. Moreover, the
package comprises manual training, a set of assessments, and an innovative webpage. Through
this online DECODE model with the package, teachers are equipped: to familiarize themselves
with various software technology and platforms; enhance their knowledge and abilities in
assessment design, instructional design, and practical implementation (TPACK); to effectively
teach or guide students in STEM activities, and to effectively improve their STEM literacy.
