| Abstract | An interdisciplinary approach of teaching of Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) has been emphasized in Malaysia. This study focused on the development of Malaysian (M)-Biotech-STEM (MBS) module for secondary students ages 16-18 in a suburban area who have had little exposure to biotechnology knowledge. The validity and reliability of the module and its instrument namely, achievement test and 21st century skills questionnaire, have been approved by the experts from Malaysia Ministry of Education and Malaysian universities. Results from a preliminary study showed that the module could foster the interest of the students in learning biotechnology and able them to improve their achievement and inculcate 21st century skills such as digital era literacy skills and inventive skills. |
