Abstract

Environmental problems and low awareness of water quality management have become important issues in daily life. On the other hand, 21st-century education requires students to possess 6C skills (critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication, character, and citizenship), making contextual learning based on real environmental problems essential. The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) approach is considered relevant in addressing these demands by integrating multiple disciplines through applied learning activities. This study aimed to develop a learning support medium in the form of a STEM Water Filter Kit utilizing cassava peel waste as one of the filtration media. The research employed a Research and Development (RD) method adapted from the Borg and Gall development model, consisting of seven stages: identification of potential and problems, data collection, product design, design validation, design revision, product testing, and product revision. Expert validation involved STEM education experts consisting of lecturers and teachers, resulting in an overall percentage score of 98.37%, categorized as very feasible. User response testing involved teachers, who obtained a percentage score of 94.56% categorized as very feasible, and students, who obtained a percentage score of 85.00% categorized as feasible. The results indicate that the STEM Water Filter Kit can be used as a STEM-based learning support media to help students understand water filtration concepts contextually.
