The Effect of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) Model based on an Integrated STEM Approach with Entrepreneurial Character on Students' Creative Thinking Ability

Abstract

This research aims to measure students' creative thinking abilities using the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model based on an integrated STEM approach with entrepreneurial character in dynamic electrical material. This type of research is quasi-experimental with a none-equivalent pre-test and post-test control group design research model. The population in this study was all students in class XII phase F, with a total of 8 classes. The sampling was taken using cluster random sampling. Class F4 is an experimental class with 35 people, and class F3 is a control class with 35 people. The experimental class implemented STEM-based PjBL integrated entrepreneurial character and the control class with conventional learning. The instrument used was a 4 question description test to measure creative thinking. Based on the t-test, it was found that the initial abilities in both classes were the same in terms of creative thinking skills. The average post-test score for the experimental class and control class. Based on the t-test, there is a significant difference, which means there is an influence of STEM-based PjBL integrated with entrepreneurial character on creative thinking skills.
