Engaging Students in STEM Based Learning Through Media and Technology

Abstract

Engaging students in physics learning is a challenge for teachers, since few students were interested in it. Therefore, STEM based learning that embedded scientific and engineering practice, was chosen to solve the problem. It has been developing in Indonesia since 2013 at secondary school level. The implementation evaluation showed that most of STEM based learning was conducted through media and technology. Therefore, these studies were analysed students response toward STEM based learning through a media and technology. The media and technology was invited into electricity learning. 92 students were involved as samples of this study that cane from two different classes. The analysis result showed that most of student enjoyed the lesson and eager to engage in other STEM based learning. Moreover, they agree that media and technology can help them in understanding the concept. It convinced by the students understanding improvement after the learning processes.
