STEM literacy load analysis on the planning and implementation of science learning on the topic of simple machine

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine STEM literacy in the planning and implementation of science learning on the topic of simple machine. This research method is a descriptive qualitative method. Data were obtained using observations, document analysis, and interviews, which involved 200 junior high school science teachers in six districts of Lampung province, data analyzed with percentage. The results of STEM literacy analysis on the planning of natural science learning on the topic of simple machine have a high category of planning average (61%) and the average category of implementation is also of a high category (65%). Data analysis shows that learning science in simple machine material had integrated STEM but focused more on science and rarely used technology in student learning. Also, teachers realize that applying the STEM approach makes student learning more relevant, stimulates the emergence of meaningful experiences, encourages students to think higher and solve problems and increase retention. So that by the demands of the revolutionary education era 4.0.
