THE DEVELOPMENT OF GRADE 5 STUDENT’S INTEGRATED SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS THROUGH STEM EDUCATION

Abstract

The objectives of this research are: 1) to develop STEM learning activities Using GLOBE's scientific tools and water testing methods of Grade 5 students on the topic Water Resources for 2) Life to compare the integrated science process skills of Grade 5 students on the topic Water Resources for Life. Before and after STEM learning and 3) to study the efficiency and effectiveness of STEM learning and the development of integrated science process skills. of Grade 5 students on the topic of water sources for life The teacher acts as a researcher. The research group consisted of 35 Grade 5 students who were selected through specific selection methods This study was carried out according to the classroom action research methodological framework. Research data wascollected during the development process using research tools, namely STEM learning plans. Integrated Science Learning Process Skills Test Integrated science learning process skills assessment form Student learning diary small group meeting and teachers' post-teaching notes. Research results It was found that 1) Developing activities using GLOBE's scientific tools and water testing methods. It was found that students had the ability to develop activities using GLOBE's scientific tools and water testing methods at a high level2) Comparison of students' integrated science process skills before, during, and after STEM learning. From the pre-study and post-study tests, it was found that Students' test scores after using the integrated science process skills test were higher than before. Significantly at .01 3) The results of developing integrated science process skills after organizing STEM education were at a level higher than the criterion of 80.50/80.57.
