Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan soft skills peserta didik melalui integrasi pendekatan STEAM dalam pembelajaran asam basa. Penelitian dilaksanakan di kelas XI pada semester genap tahun ajaran 2016/2017. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan berupa wawancara, observasi lapangan, dan reflektif jurnal. Kegiatan pembelajaran dilakukan dengan menerapkan enam tahapan yaitu memberikan pertanyaan esensial, membuat perencanaan proyek, menyusun jadwal proyek, memonitor peserta didik dan perkembangan proyek, menilai atau menguji hasil, dan mengevaluasi pengalaman peserta didik. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa integrasi pendekatan STEAM dalam project based learning dapat mengembangkan soft skills peserta didik, yaitu bekerja sama, berpikir kritis, peduli lingkungan, tanggung jawab, keterampilan beradaptasi, dan berpikir kreatif. Kata kunci: pendekatan STEAM, soft skills, pembelajaran asam basa

This paper is based on the results of first year of two-year study in integrating Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM) in chemistry learning. The research focused on developing 21st-century skills of chemistry students in secondary schools. The 21st-century skills are a set of abilities that students need to develop in facing the future challenge which involves learning, literacy, and life skills. The study was conducted in two secondary schools both public and private on the topics of hydrocarbon, petroleum, solubility, and acid base in year 10 and 11. A qualitative methodology was applied to explore the students' learning experiences and understanding the research context. Data was collected through observation, interview, reflective journal and 21st-century rubric. The STEAM approach was integrated through modification of project-based learning model. The students had opportunities to develop their own projects by integrating chemistry and STEAM principles to their project. The results showed that students have developed their higher order thinking skills namely critical and creative thinking, problem-solving, collaboration and argumentation. They also learnt to develop skills of information, literacy and the self-direction.
