Under the theme “Promoting STEM Instructions in Elementary Education”, the conference has served as a scientific forum involving researchers, experts, and practitioners of STEM in particular to exchange ideas and research results among each other. This volume consists of 206 papers which have gone through a peer-review process and will be published as a conference proceedings. The papers include a wide range of topics which include Teaching and Learning in STEM, STEM-based classroom management, Robotic and game teaching in elementary school children, Instructional technology and application in elementary schools, Training and professional development for STEM teachers, STEM curriculum in elementary schools, Computer-based learning, Innovations in instructional training and elementary education, and Design and implementation of technology-rich learning environment. We would like to extend our best gratitude to all participants and contributors who have shared insights on the STEM application at elementary schools. We would also like to extend my deep appreciation to the committee members and reviewers for their hard work and commitment to review the papers. We hope that this volume could be an excellent outlet to communicate ideas and acquire best practices and knowledge in applying better STEM instruction in elementary schools.
