Abstract
The objectives of this research were to study (1) the components of collaborative academic management towards STEM education goals and (2) the modified priority needs index of collaborative academic management towards STEM education goals of primary schools under the STEM school network. A mixed methods research design was used. The data sources were (1) 21 related documents and research papers and (2) 152 stakeholders from 26 primary schools under the STEM school network. The research instruments were assessment forms, data record forms, content synthesis forms, and questionnaires. The statistics used in data analysis were the frequency, mean, standard deviation, content analysis, and PNImodified.
The research results revealed that (1) the components of collaborative academic management towards STEM education goals consisted of 9 main components with 28 subcomponents of collaborative academic management, and 3 main components with 10 subcomponents of STEM education goals; (2) the aspect that had the greatest priority needs index as a whole was evaluation aspect (PNI = 0.101) followed by learning management aspect (PNI = 0.096), curriculum development aspect (PNI = 0.089), and policy formulation and academic development plans aspect (PNI = 0.084).
