Abstract

The integration of Geographic Information System (GIS) technology and the STEM approach in geography education remains limited, particularly due to teachers’ insufficient technological proficiency. This study examines the partial and interactive effects of GIS based instruction and STEM-oriented learning on the spatial thinking skills of senior high school students. A quasi-experimental 2 × 2 factorial design was employed, involving 136 students drawn from intact geography classes, where individual randomization was not feasible. Spatial thinking skills were measured using a validated and reliable test instrument. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and two-way ANCOVA. The results indicated a significant main effect of GIS (η²p = 0.657, large effect), a moderate effect of STEM (η²p = 0.093), and a moderate-to-large interaction effect between GIS and STEM (η²p = 0.128). These results indicate that the combined implementation of GIS and STEM provides stronger support for the development of students’ spatial thinking skills than either approach applied independently. This study contributes conceptually by clarifying the role of GIS as a cognitive mediator within STEM-based geography learning, thereby extending existing research that has predominantly emphasized the technical application of GIS or the isolated effects of STEM instruction.

Abstract

This research is based on the issue of the lack of teaching materials in the form of spatial thinking-based student worksheets to assist students' learning process. Another issue is that we have not yet implemented student worksheets based on spatial thinking in teaching. This research aims to develop spatial thinking-based student worksheets based on primary map knowledge material to make the learning process innovative and meet the demands of the independent curriculum, which was reviewed from the spatial thinking element for X Grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Randangan. This research uses the Steven J. McGriff version of the ADDIE development model (analysis, design, Development, implementation and evaluation). The research subjects are students from X Grade in Natural Science (IPA) 2 and Social Sciences (IPS) 2 classes. The data are collected through tests and questionnaires. The researcher uses effect size analysis to determine the learning effectiveness using the spatial thinking-based student worksheets based on basic map knowledge material. The study results show the student's responses to the spatial thinking-based student worksheet, which is suitable for use and interesting for students. The effectiveness of learning using the spatial thinking-based student worksheets get value of value 0,34 implies categorized as effective with a moderate classification level. This shows that spatial thinking-based student worksheets are declared effective in learning geography based on basic knowledge of maps.
