Abstract
Classroom instructions and activities that address students’ cultural traditions and beliefs can affect the learning process and can increase the students’ self- value and their belief that they can achieve their goals in life (Bandura, 1977 as cited in Martins-Shannon, & White, 2012). Merging the cultural and the STEM PBL activities into a Culturally Responsive Engineering Design-Based Learning can help physics students apply the knowledge they learn in class into hands-on activities. They learn about their culture by building a Wikiup Lighthouse and learn about physics when connecting the light bulbs in series and parallel connections.
