Transdisciplinary STEM education based on Among’s philosophy implementation against engineering problem-solving and motivation: The case monochromatic light, simple laser project

Abstract

This study applied transdisciplinary STEM based on Among’s philosophy. This innovative program provides experiences using project-based learning (PBL) with limited laboratory facilities for technology learning. Involved 53 pre-service physics teachers in a physics laboratory course with the affordable cost laser creation project. STEM program using correlation study with a pre-experiment one-group pre-/post-test design approach. The instruments used include an engineering problem-solving cognition test and a motivational questionnaire regarding attitude, interest, and learning response, as well as reinforced by project report documentation. The results showed a significant improvement in engineering problem-solving cognition and motivation in STEM, with a moderately strong correlation between them. Among’s method and lab hands-on engagement contribute to a better engineering understanding and positively impact motivation. Utilizing equipment and materials at affordable costs can effectively integrate technology and engineering into practices.

Penguatan Profil Pelajar Pancasila dan Profil Pelajar Rahmatan lil Aalamin melalui Pembelajaran Projek Kearifan Lokal di Madrasah Ibtidaiyah

“…Kearifan lokal merupakan bagian dari masyarakat yang merupakan ciri khas suatu daerah dan merupakan bagian penting untuk dapat dikembangkan dalam proses pembelajaran (Syahrial et al, 2022). Pembelajaran yang menggunakan kearifan lokal sebagai sumber belajar akan mampu membantu siswa memahami budaya masyarakat (Suhartono et al, 2023). Kearifan lokal akan membantu siswa memahami nilai budaya masyarakat (Juliana Jaya et al, 2020).…”
