Student worksheets based on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) to facilitate the development of critical and creative thinking skills

Abstract

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.

Efektivitas LKS Berbasis Etnomatematika dengan Pendekatan STEM terhadap Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis

“…Pada proses pembelajarannya, STEM mengintegrasikan 4 (empat) komponen utama dalam pendidikan, yaitu sains, teknologi, teknik, dan matematika. STEM juga dapat diartikan sebagai perpaduan dua atau lebih komponen STEM yang saling terintegrasi menjadi pendekatan pembelajaran, atau disiplin ilmu lain yang terintegrasi dengan salah satu satu komponen STEM (Yulianti et al, 2020). Pengintegrasian beberapa komponen dalam pendekatan STEM dapat membuat siswa melakukan proses berpikir kritis.…”

STREM PBL with E-Authentic Assessment: Its Impact to Students’ Scientific Creativity on Static Fluid

“…Genek & Küçük (2020) stated that the STEM program's implementation positively impacted students' scientific creativity. STEM activities increase students' scientific creativity (Knezek et al, 2013;Pertiwi et al, 2017;Yulianti et al, 2020). STEM integrated with PjBL also positively affected all dimensions of students' scientific creativity traits (Lou et al, 2017;Siew & Ambo, 2018).…”

The Development of Student Worksheet Based on Problem Based Learning Approach on Matrices Topics

“…The use of student worksheets can help teachers in learning activities by discovering new concepts through the creativity of the students themselves (Ramury et al, 2020). In the student worksheet, students will get material, summaries, and assignments related to the material that will be obtained in the lesson (Yulianti, Rusilowati, & Nugroho, 2020;Wahyuni, Efuansyah, & Sukasno, 2020).…”
