Across the nation students’ enrolment and
achievement in science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM) fields are on the decline. BLOSSOMS
project has been introduced as an initiative on addressing the
issue, where teachers are trained to design and develop a
BLOSSOMS’ educational interactive video of STEM lessons with
the integration of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)

are recorded emphasizing on their needs and challenges in
completing the task. A total of 148 online semi-structured

with five teachers who were involved in the project. This study
creates an awareness of the needs to further extend BLOSSOMS
project. Also, to highlight issues of concern related to teachers’
