APPLICATION OF STEM (SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATH) APPROACH IN IMPROVING LEARNING OUTCOMES IN MATHEMATICS LEARNING
Keywords:
STEM, Math Learning, Learning Outcomes, Educational InnovationAbstract
This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of applying the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) approach in improving student learning outcomes in mathematics learning. The method used in this research is quasi-experiment with nonequivalent control group design. The research sample consisted of 60 VIII grade students who were divided into two groups, namely the experimental group using the STEM approach and the control group using conventional learning methods. The results showed that there was a significant increase in learning outcomes in the experimental group compared to the control group. The average posttest score of students who learned with the STEM approach was higher than students who learned using conventional methods. In addition, the STEM approach also contributed to increasing students' motivation and engagement in learning, as this method encourages exploration, problem solving, and collaboration in understanding mathematical concepts.
