It intends to addressthe following research questions within the context of rural education under thebackdrop of digital intelligence: How do rural teachers’ teaching beliefs impact theirclassroom evaluation practice during STEM education implementation?2. Literature Review2.1 Teaching Belief and Classroom Evaluation Practice The term “teaching belief” encapsulates the constellation of a teacher’s enduringperceptions regarding their role in education, the nature of the curriculum, and themechanisms through which students assimilate knowledge. These beliefs are not mereabstractions but are forged from the amalgam of a teacher’s empirical
student interests and expectations [8]which also influences the teaching and learning process. These connections are criticalopportunities for students to learn how to develop relationships with adults who are not membersof their family [9]. Such skills are essential for students to successfully navigate complexinstitutions and pursue future professional opportunities.Academic advisers help students understand the curriculum, the relationship and relevance ofrequirements, and the nuanced structure of their degree [6]. Faculty advisers, many of whom mayhave contributed to the curriculum’s design, can assist students with making meaning of thecurriculum. It is critical for students to recognize and understand the relationship between thecomponents

The use of active learning techniques inSTEM fields has grown in popularity as a successful way to improve undergraduate students'educational experiences and academic performance. Active learning aims to increase studentparticipation, foster self-efficacy, and motivate students to pursue careers in STEM fields.Over the past few decades, active learning has grown in popularity as a set of teaching strategiesin higher education. In contrast to traditional passive learning through lectures, active learninginvolves students directly in the learning process [1]. Active learning is a teaching strategy thatinvolves involving students in the process of learning by using collaborations
