	abstract = {This research was conducted to examine the effects of the socioscientific issue with the thinking wheel map (SI-TWM) approach on the curiosity towards STEM, the construct of Exploration and Acceptance. A teaching and learning (TL) module was developed to guide teachers in implementing the SI-TWM approach to enhance curiosity among year five students. Quasi-experimental quantitative research was conducted on 345 year five students (aged 11 years old) in urban primary schools in Tawau, Sabah, Malaysia. A total of three groups were assigned randomly, namely i) socioscientific issue with thinking wheel map approach (SI-TWM, n=115), ii) socioscientific issue approach (SI, n=115), and iii) conventional approach (CONV, n=115). The curiosity towards STEM questionnaire was developed to measure the level of curiosity towards STEM. Data analysis was performed using MANCOVA, ANCOVA, and effect size. The results of the MANCOVA analysis showed that there was a significant effect across the three TL approaches for curiosity towards STEM. Meanwhile, the ANCOVA analysis results showed a significant effect of the SI-TWM approach compared to the SI and CONV approaches on curiosity towards STEM, the construct of Exploration and Acceptance. The results of this research prove that the SI-TWM approach positively impacts the cultivation of students{\textquoteright} curiosity towards STEM.},

	abstract = {The design and development of modules in cultivating entrepreneurial science thinking (EST) in STEM education at the primary school level is still limited. Thus, this research was conducted to i) establish the validity, reliability and feasibility of the module based on the socioscientific issues approach aided by the thinking wheel map (SIA-TM), and ii) evaluate its effects on the EST among fifth graders in STEM education. Data were collected via respondents{\textquoteright} feedback in the 5-point Likert scale questionnaire and an EST test. The first phase of the module evaluation was conducted by five expert evaluators and among 30 fifth graders. The second phase was evaluation through the quasi-experimental research design with the pre-test post-test control group design. A total of 60 fifth graders were gathered into two groups which were the SIA-TM group (n=30) and control group (n=30). The results of the SIA-TM module evaluation shows that the validity value was good, and the alpha Cronbach reliability was between .74 and .89 with the overall value of .92. The students showed a high level of acceptance (m=4.53) towards the activities in the SIA-TM Module. Feedback from the students showed the module{\textquoteright}s feasibility and acceptance by students. The results of the t-test prove a significantly positive effect on the five constructs in EST. Therefore, these results establish that the SIA-TM teaching and learning module is valid, reliable, feasible and effective in increasing fifth graders{\textquoteright} EST in STEM education.},
