Abstract

This study aims to investigate the impact of STEM-integrated Project-Based Learning (PjBL) on Grade 10 students' creative thinking skills. A quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent control group design was employed. The research population comprised 324 Grade 10 students at SMA Negeri 1 Lingsar during the 2025/2026 academic year. Using a purposive sampling technique, two classes were selected: Class X8 (n=36) as the experimental group and Class X2 (n=36) as the control group. The experimental group was treated with the STEM-PjBL model, while the control group followed a conventional learning model. Data were collected using an instrument consisting of seven essay items focused on renewable energy topics. The results indicated that the experimental group achieved a higher average score (74.31), categorized as "creative," compared to the control group (66.19), categorized as "moderate." Hypothesis testing using a pooled variance t-test yielded tcount = 2.44, exceeding the ttable value of 1.99 at a 5% significance level. Consequently, Ha was accepted, confirming that the STEM-integrated Project-Based Learning model significantly enhances students' creative thinking skills in physics.

Abstract

This activity was conducted to introduce and implement a STEM-integrated Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model to enhance the creative thinking skills of tenth-grade students. The activity took place at SMA Negeri 1 Lingsar. The implementation was motivated by the school’s need to strengthen 21st-century skills, particularly creativity, collaboration, communication, and problem-solving, through interactive and challenging learning experiences that utilize diverse learning resources. The focus of the activity was directed toward the integration of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) through various modes of presentation, such as text, images, audio, and video, designed to support systematic and creative problem-solving processes. The stages of the activity included the introduction of the STEM-integrated PjBL concept, project planning, implementation of projects based on contextual problems, and the presentation and reflection of students’ work. The results indicated that both teachers and students responded positively to this approach. STEM-integrated project-based learning encouraged students to become more active, creative, and   collaborative, while also helping them develop a deeper understanding of physics concepts   through meaningful learning experiences. Overall, this activity recommends STEM-integrated PjBL as an effective alternative strategy for physics instruction to foster students’ creative thinking skills at the senior high school level.
