STEM Learning for Pre-service Science Teachers through Engineering Design Process (EDP): Project-based Sustainable Development Goals
Main Article Content
Abstract
STEM learning is an integrative and interdisciplinary educational approach that emphasizes the development of critical thinking skills, problem-solving solving and collaboration. This research aims to analyze the implementation of STEM learning and improve the competency of pre-service science teachers in implementing STEM by adopting the Engineering Design Process (EDP). The STEM project theme based on sustainable development goals was chosen with the aim of contributing to achieving the SDGs. Participants in this research were fifth-semester students in STEM courses at IAIN Kudus with a total of 44 students in 2023. This research uses qualitative methods to determine phenomena that emerge and are revealed from time to time. Data was obtained using questionnaire answers, STEM product photos, and STEM product descriptions. This research shows that students are interested in learning STEM projects and improving problem-solving abilities and collaboration abilities. The novelty in this research is the implementation of a STEM project on a theme based on sustainable development goals through the Engineering Design Process (EDP) within the scope of the course.
