Project Based Learning (PjBL) Model with STEM Approach on Students’ Conceptual Understanding and Creativity

Abstract

The starting point of this research is the absence of understanding of students’ conceptions of the human movement system material, as well as students’ unformed creativity. This study aims to analyze the effect of the STEM-approach PjBL model on students’ conceptual understanding and creativity. This research was quantitative research with a quasi-experimental method with a post-test-only control design type. The sampling used a purposive sampling technique. The instruments used were concept comprehension tests, syntax implementation observation sheets, and creativity questionnaire sheets. The paired sample t-test was used to analyze the data. Based on data analysis, the average post-test results for the experimental and control classes are 83.44 and 79.14, respectively. The data analysis of the student creativity questionnaire results suggest that 19 students are quite creative. The paired t-test result for students’ concept understanding is 0.002, indicating that the research hypothesis is accepted, while the result for creativity is 0.64. With moderate criteria, the PjBL model with the STEM approach effects students’ conceptual understanding and creativity.

The effect of design-based STEM learning on students' scientific creativity in solar energy topic

“…The study results were obtained from a scientific creativity test totalling nine description questions on momentum and impulse. In research by Prajoko et al (2023), the results of evaluating the creativity of the product in the form of a mind map produced a score of 0.64, which is included in the sufficient category. It is very important to develop student creativity by achieving creativity indicators.…”

“…Based on Table 4, the score is converted into a scientific creativity value obtained from the total score divided by the ideal score multiplied by 100. The value of creativity is divided into four categories (Prajoko et al, 2023), presented in Table 5. Descriptive statistics of scientific creativity were calculated for the mean, standard deviation, and median.…”

Model Pembelajaran Project Based Learning Meningkatkan Hasil Belajar Mata Pelajaran Komputer Akuntansi

“…SMK sebagai institusi pendidikan bertujuan melatih peserta didik agar dapat menjadi tenaga kerja tingkat menengah dengan sikap profesional saat memasuki dunia kerja [3]. Mata pelajaran Komputer Akuntansi di SMK mengintegrasikan konsep akuntansi dengan penggunaan program aplikasi komputer, memperlancar pengolahan data keuangan dan pelaporan.…”

Application of A Guided Inquiry Learning Model to Improve Students' Scientific Literacy Skills

“…The results of this research state that scientific literacy skills consist of several aspects, such as reading and understanding scientific texts, recognizing and evaluating sources of scientific information, and applying scientific methods in solving problems. Problem-solving is essential in scientific literacy because it allows students to use their scientific knowledge and skills in dealing with everyday challenges and problems (Prajoko et al, 2023). Therefore, problem-solving plays a crucial role in efforts to develop students' scientific literacy because it helps them hone the skills, knowledge, and understanding needed to become critical readers, effective problem solvers, and members of society capable of scientific understanding, as explained by Suradika et al (2023).…”
