Abstract

This study examined the implementation of STEM-based Deep Learning in fostering elementary school students’ scientific literacy on the topic of renewable energy. A quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design was employed. The participants were 29 sixth-grade students from an elementary school in East Jakarta. Data were collected using a 20-item scientific literacy test covering conceptual and contextual understanding of renewable energy and were analyzed using the Rasch Model with the stacking technique in Winsteps. The results showed an overall increase in students’ scientific literacy after the learning intervention, as indicated by higher posttest measures compared to pretest measures for most students. STEM-based Deep Learning was implemented through contextual and project-based activities that engaged students in exploring renewable energy concepts, collaborating in groups, assembling simple renewable energy models, and presenting their work. These learning experiences encouraged students to connect scientific concepts with real-life situations and actively participate in the learning process. The findings suggest that STEM-based Deep Learning can support the development of scientific literacy in elementary science learning, particularly on renewable energy topics. Further studies involving larger samples and comparison groups are recommended to strengthen the evidence regarding its effectiveness.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop Augmented Reality (AR)-based EDUTV interactive visual media on ecosystem materials and evaluate its feasibility for improving elementary students' science literacy. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach adapted from the 4D model, consisting of the Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate stages. The participants were fifth-grade elementary school students. Data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative methods based on expert validation, media feasibility assessments, and student response questionnaires. The results showed that the developed media was highly feasible for classroom use. Material expert validation yielded a feasibility score of 96%, while media expert validation obtained a score of 92%, both categorized as excellent. Student responses indicated positive perceptions toward the media presentation (88.8%), science literacy-oriented content (90.0%), and learning motivation (91.7%). These findings demonstrate that the AR-based EDUTV interactive visual media is valid, feasible, and effective for supporting Science and Social Studies learning on ecosystem topics while enhancing elementary students' science literacy. The study also contributes to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education) through innovative digital learning.
