The workshop highlighted the academic collaboration between the Institute for Innovative Learning, Mahidol University, and its international partners. It provided educational professionals with opportunities to gain access to internationally recognized knowledge, innovative perspectives, and expert insights, while strengthening collaboration to advance professional capacity and expertise in STEM education.

The event attracted participants and representatives from various Thai educational, scientific, and technological organizations, including the Institute for the Promotion of Teaching Science and Technology (IPST); Kasetsart University; King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT); the Office for National Education Standards and Quality Assessment (ONESQA); Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi (RMUTT); the Science Centre for Education; the National Science Museum (NSM); and Naresuan University. Their participation reflected the strong interest and collaborative commitment of Thailand’s educational network to exchanging knowledge and jointly enhancing the quality of STEM education.

The workshop was part of the STEM Education Leadership for Change (SELC) Programme, supported by Chevron. The programme focuses on strengthening expertise in the design, analysis, and evaluation of STEM learning through two key approaches:

• Three-Dimensional Learning: An approach that encourages learners to integrate scientific knowledge, crosscutting concepts, and science and engineering practices. This enables learners to develop a deeper understanding of concepts and apply their knowledge to solve real-world problems.
• EQuIP Rubric: A tool for evaluating and improving the quality of instructional materials and learning units by examining content alignment, instructional design, and the extent to which learning experiences promote deeper understanding.

During the workshop, participants engaged in hands-on activities using the EQuIP Rubric to analyze and evaluate sample STEM lessons and learning units. Working collaboratively, they examined evidence of student learning, identified strengths and gaps, and discussed areas for improvement. Each group presented its evaluation findings and exchanged constructive feedback. These activities strengthened participants’ ability to apply established criteria to assess learning quality and develop more effective approaches to STEM lesson design.

Furthermore, the workshop explored how insights from the EQuIP Rubric could be extended to develop an evaluation framework suited to the Thai educational context. This initiative aims to provide guidance for improving the quality of STEM instructional materials and learning processes in alignment with international educational standards and approaches.

Beyond providing a platform for knowledge exchange with an international expert, this workshop marked another important step for the Institute for Innovative Learning, Mahidol University, in strengthening academic partnerships and advancing expertise in learning innovation and STEM education. Through collaboration and professional capacity development, IL continues to contribute to improving the quality of Thai education and promoting sustainable educational development.
