Abstract

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of conventional learning and STEAM-based learning in improving technology literacy and creative thinking skills among junior high school students. The STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) approach, integrated through a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model, offers an interdisciplinary learning experience that directly supports students' critical thinking and technological literacy in line with 21st-century competencies. Using the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), the research involved 155 eighth- grade students from SMP N 3 Banguntapan. Two classes were randomly selected: one as the experimental group applying the STEAM-based learning device, and the other as the control group with conventional methods. Quantitative data from pretests and posttests showed a significant improvement in the experimental group’s technology literacy (M = 83.96) and creative thinking (M = 73.44) compared to the control group (M = 72.93 and M = 68.62, respectively). These results indicate that the STEAM approach not only enhances conceptual understanding but also fosters active, collaborative, and innovative learning environments. This research supports the integration of STEAM in science education as a strategic response to educational challenges in the digital era
