Abstract

This paper describes the theory of constructivism as an effort to increase students' understanding of Natural Science learning subjects in elementary schools using Project-Based learning in learning practices. PjBL is based on constructivism theory, which prioritizes the urgency of the knowledge-compiling process by students themselves actively, based on the knowledge that has been previously possessed. PjBL is a learning process that supports student-centered learning and experiential learning. PjBL can be one of the solutions for teachers in an attempt to direct students to understand the material, foster creativity, work on projects, and strengthen the process of collaborative group cooperation. Natural Science learning subject in elementary schools aims to provide direct experience to students in order to gain a more meaningful understanding and insight about the environment, which becomes a medium for students to learn about themselves and their environment. The research in this paper is qualitative and uses literature review methods. Journal search comes from the search at Google Scholar, Researchgate, ERIC, and others. The data analysis techniques are (1) data reduction, which means that to remove various things that are not needed and focusing on the important ones, (2) data exposure, which is describing data presented based on certain sub-sections, and (3) drawing conclusions from the results of recent research that has not conducted yet before.

Abstract

This research focuses on the development of students' science literacy in the topic of matter state changes at the primary school level. It utilizes Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics - Project-Based Learning (STEM-PjBL) as a holistic integrative learning approach, supporting 21st-century skills. The meaningful learning design is crafted to help students understand the material while applying their understanding to a simple project appropriate for primary school students' cognitive levels. The study was conducted in a fifth-grade class at an educational unit in Tangerang City, Banten Province, Indonesia. Using a qualitative research method, data was collected through interviews, observations, reflective journals, and researchers' notes. The STEM-PjBL learning stages included reflection, research, discovery, application, and communication. The Shwartz assessment was developed as an instrument to evaluate students' science literacy abilities. The results show that implementing the STEM-PjBL approach promotes student-centered learning, builds group cooperation, is enjoyable, and develops students' science literacy. Students worked in groups on their chosen projects related to the topic of matter state changes. The average project score for each group received an A rating in completing the STEM-PjBL project. Interdisciplinary learning can encourage students to understand the characteristics and concepts of a theory and relate them to everyday life, thereby impacting their understanding and project development.
