The Influence of PjBL-STEAM model toward students’ problem-solving skills on light and optical instruments topic

Abstract

Abstract One of the challenges of today’s education in the disruption era is generating skillful, creative, and innovative human resources in solving problems. Therefore, a learning model to train students’ problem-solving skills is required. The objective of this research is to analyze the influence of PjBL-STEAM toward students’ problem-solving skills indicated by the average differences. The data were collected through test, documentation, and observation. The influence of the model was examined using a t-test. Further, the analysis showed that there was an average score difference between the students taught using the PjBL-STEAM and the students taught using the PjBL-scientific model by 3.495. In other words, the PjBL-STEAM model has a positive effect on the students’ problem-solving skills.
