The Effectiveness of SW (Student Worksheets) Based on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) to Train Students' Creative Thinking Skills

Abstract

Existing learning has not fully facilitated 4C (critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity) skills and there are obstacles for students to encounter in studying biology, especially the material about plant tissue. It happens due to various limitations in achieving basic competency skills. One of the learning approaches that can be used to support 4C skills is the STEM approach which is supported by student worksheets (SW) to guide the learning process. The purpose of this study was to measure the effectiveness of STEM-based SW to train students' creative thinking skills. The research method used is descriptive quantitative and qualitative with one group pre-test and post-test design. The research subjects were 21 students of XI grades at SMAK St.Hendrikus. Data analysis of the N-Gain test of creative thinking skills obtained an average N-gain of 0.7 with a medium category. The N-Gain analysis of creative thinking skills using the T-Test with a sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 indicates that STEM-based worksheets are effective in training students' creative thinking skills.

Pengembangan Lembar Kiagatan Siswa (LKS) Berbasis STEAM dengan Teknik Ecoprint Sebagai Perangkat Pembelajaran Tematik

“…Hasil uji validitas dan kelayakan menunjukkan bahwa LKS berbasis STEAM yang dikembangkan layak digunakan sebagai media pembelajaran. Lembar kegiatan siswa dinilai baik atau valid jika memenuhi persyaratan didaktis, konstruktif, dan teknis (Agustina et al, 2021). Persyaratan didaktis berkaitan dengan pembelajaran yang efektif dengan menggunakan LKS, sedangkan konstruksi meliputi aspek kebahasaan (Edokpayi et al, 2011).…”

Keefektifan Media Pembelajaran Augmented Reality Berbasis STEAM dalam Meningkatkan Kualitas Pembelajaran IPA di Sekolah Dasar

“…STEAM juga dapat meningkatkan keterampilan intrapersonal, merumuskan kembali keyakinan, sikap, dan kompetensi untuk memahami dunia kompleks dalam ranah ilmiah dan ranah sosial (Avendano et al, 2019). Lebih lanjut, STEAM merupakan alternatif yang menggabungkan berbagai disiplin ilmu ke dalam desain pembelajaran, memberikan kesempatan kepada siswa untuk mengembangkan pemikiran ilmiah, berkreasi, dan melakukan eksperimen dengan cara yang bermakna untuk meningkatkan minatnya (Agustina et al, 2021). Siswa juga mendapatkan pengalaman untuk mengembangkan kemampuan mengamati melalui teknologi yang diciptakan.…”
