This study aims to describe STEM-based Student Worksheets, which facilitate the development of critical and creative thinking skills. Another aim is to test the level of readability, feasibility, and describe the improvement of critical and creative thinking skills after the Student Worksheet is applied. This research uses Research and Development (R&D) method as well as one-group pretest-posttest design. As research subjects were ten high schools in the city of Semarang. The results of the feasibility test indicate the criteria are suitable for learning by obtaining an average of 88.96% which means it is very feasible. In addition, the readability test showed that the worksheets were easily understood with an average of 91.66% and an analysis of improvement in critical and creative thinking skills was found to have high average criteria.

The learning process that is synergistic with the development of the current era is very necessary. Local wisdom that is aligned with technology is a challenge. Therefore, this study aims at developing a tool which is functioned to measure students’ readiness towards developing instruments related to etno-STEM based Science Education courses. The selected items were given to the expert team for validation. The initial trial of the initial instrument was done using the main component analysis and Cronbach alpha coefficient. The results of a strong coefficient on each instrument can be used as a reference for implementing etno-STEM based Science Education. The wisdom of the Indonesian people towards the wealth of natural resources and their use is influenced by the lifestyle of the Indonesian people who still tend to be weary. Human resources that are aware of local wisdom and technology and its impact on the environment are needed. Students are as agents of change; developing or not a culture of maintaining etno-STEM based technology friendly local wisdom.
