Biotechnology has been widely used to meet the challenges of producing products in the current industrial revolution era 4.0. One of the trends in educational field to face the challenge is to integrate Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) altogether. The purpose of this study is to compare two models of STEM Research-Based Learning, that is, Project Based Learning (PjBL) and Aesthetic Student-Teacher Elaborate Research (ASTER). Fifty five students from two classes were selected through typical case sampling; class A was about 29 students taught using PjBL, whereas Class B was 26 students taught using ASTER. This study used quantitative data which were analyzed using t-test. The results indicated that learning achievement of both classes were not quite different, with of ASTER (achievement of 48.3%) and PjBL (achievement of 45.5%). Therefore, this study suggests that further empirical studies need to be conducted on the effect of STEM integrated learning with the use of ASTER to strengthen the results of the study.
