Purpose: The integrated science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education has been reported to improve students' science achievement. Nevertheless, few studies have focused on how this approach affected different ability groups. Lack of equity or the presence of achievement gap can be detrimental because they can reduce medium and…

The purpose of this research is to describe the effectiveness of STEM on the physics concepts understanding seen from gender differences. The research method used is a type of quasi-experimental design with 2 x 2 factorial design and saturated sampling technique. The data collecting technique used a tested method to see the results of students'…

Headache is considered one of the most common complaints affecting all ages: children, adolescents, and adults.
