Abstract
Observing to the current situation of global education comprehensively, the obstacles of teaching are always caused by the learning gaps. To solve the problems, first step is to focus on the students who have low achievement. And Differentiated Instruction gives students having low achievement an equal opportunity to learn. STEM promotes the development of students in multiple fields by using interdisciplinary integration, imparts interdisciplinary knowledge to students during the process of participation, and increase the learning effective of low achievement students. The purpose of this study is to apply differentiated instruction to the STEM practice courses. Shooting Car is used to be a main idea in curriculum design, and Arduino technology is used to assist teaching. Those could educate the low achievement students’ abilities on the necessary skills in the multiple STEM practice courses. Moreover, in the multi-disciplinary integration courses, teaching students in the authentic situations can maximize the teaching effectiveness. This study intends to apply the Differentiated Instruction to the STEM implementation in the curriculum construction model, and expected to have a positive impact on learning low achievement students.
