Creating Plant Anatomy Structure Model using Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics (STREAM) Approach

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the achievement of science-technology-religion-engineering-arts-mathematics (STREAM) aspects on products made by students. The product in question is in the form of a report of a Plant Anatomy structure model project. This research uses The Static-Group Comparison Design. Purposive sampling was carried out on 39 Biology Education students of class A in semester IV with project assignments without intervention through the STREAM approach (regular class). The intervention class, 38 students of class C in semester IV with project assignments using the STREAM approach (intervention class). Each student designs and creates one of the structure models of either roots, stems, or leaves. Students also make the project report, where the project report assignment guideline is in the form of a performance task. The research instrument of this study is an analytical rubric along with a score of 0 - 4 with certain criteria and field notes. The data measured in this study is the percentage of achievement on certain criteria. The results showed that the engineering aspect was the strongest in the intervention class, reaching the "excellent" category in the intervention class of 100%. The regular class reached 64.10% with the "good" criteria in the engineering aspect. The art aspect is the weakest in both classes with varying criteria. The achievement of criteria in the intervention class showed better results than the regular class. The STREAM approach can be applied to Biology Education students through the assignment of a Plant Anatomy structure model project.
