Application of Project Based Learning and STEAM in Higher Education

Abstract

The aim of this articles provides views on the application of PBL in several courses in the Accounting Department. Application of the PBL model can be combined with the STEAM approach. The application of this approach integrates each component of STEAM into project-based learning. This research design uses a quantitative approach with experimental research methods. The research design used is a quasi-experimental design in the form of None-equivalent Control Group Design. This research design uses two classes to be compared. The purpose of this study is to apply a model project-based learning with a STEAM approach to accounting learning. The results showed that the application of the project-based learning model with the STEAM approach could improve students' critical thinking skills. Students are more active in participating in the learning process.
