• This study aimed to develop theoretical framework for STEM teaching strategies in school setting. The paper clarified what the worldwide leaders and educators' beliefs, focuses, and actions of STEM education; what the conceptions of STEM education should be provided for teachers; Suggested STEM education teaching in aspect of practicing knowledge in real world through STS approach, concept of technology and engineering reserved for STEM education; the implementation of Yuenyong (2006)' s STS approach for enhancing students' applying scientific and other knowledge for designing the solutions in real-world problems. Based on these literatures, this paper will propose the practical idea of STEM education teaching approach which integration key concepts among problem based, project based, inquiry, design, and a real world problem solving as STS. The paper, therefore, propose the theoretical framework of STEM education teaching approach as inquiry from the context based. The teaching approach consists of 7 stages. These include (1) Identification of social issues, (2) Identification of potential solution, (3) Need for knowledge, (4) Decision-making, (5) Development of prototype or product, (6) Test and evaluate the Solution, and (7) Socialization and completion decision stage. The paper discussed more details of each stage.
