Development of 21st Century Skills in Acid-Base Learning Through STEAM Projects

Abstract

English

This study is aimed to develop students' 21st century skills by integrating STEAM projects (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) in learning chemistry on acid and base solutions. Interdisciplinary learning was designed to allow students to be actively involved in learning through project development activities to see the relevance of learning content and its application in real life. This study involved 35 students of natural science 11th grade, consisting of 14 boys and 21 girls, in one of public senior high schools in DKI Jakarta Province. Researchers used qualitative methods to understand students' experiences and the implications of learning on their 21st century skills. The researcher collected data through semi-structured interviews, observation, journal reflective, and 21st century skills questionnaires. The results showed that each stage of STEAM learning integrated with project-based learning encouraged students to develop 21st century skills, namely learning and innovation skills, skills using information, media, technology, and life and career skills. Students reflected their abilities in using information and technology, the ability to work together, communication, and thinking at higher levels, as well as adaptability and leadership. In addition, Students were also faced with challenges in changing the paradigm of teachers and students and managing the learning process.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan keterampilan abad 21 peserta didik melalui integrasi proyek STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) dalam pembelajaran kimia pada materi larutan asam dan basa.. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di salah satu SMA Negeri di Jakarta. Penelitian melibatkan guru kimia dan 35 peserta didik kelas XI MIPA, yang terdiri dari 14 laki-laki dan 21 perempuan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan berupa wawancara, observasi, reflektif jurnal, dokumentasi dan kuesioner keterampilan abad 21. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa setiap tahapan STEAM yang terintegrasi PjBL dapat memunculkan keterampilan abad 21yaitu keterampilan belajar dan berinovasi, keterampilan menggunakan informasi, media dan teknologi serta keterampilan hidup dan berkarir yang terfokus pada penggunaan informasi. Keterampilan yang muncul terfokus pada pemanfaatan informasi dan teknologi, kemampuan bekerja sama, komunikasi, berpikir tingkat tinggi, serta kemampuan adaptasi dan kepemimpinan. Pembelajaran menghadapi tantangan dalam perubahan paradigma guru dan peserta didik, serta pengelolaan proses pembelajaran.
