Abstract

Objective: This research aims to determine the effectiveness of the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) approach in enhancing high school students’ creative thinking skills within the context of physics learning. The study addresses the need for innovative learning strategies to foster creativity, problem-solving, and interdisciplinary integration in science education. Method: The study employed a systematic literature review method. A total of 20 articles published between 2019 and 2024 were selected from national and international journals indexed in Sinta, Scopus, and DOAJ. The selected articles met the criteria of being relevant to STEAM implementation in high school physics learning and its effect on students’ creative thinking skills. The data were analyzed through thematic synthesis to identify patterns, outcomes, and pedagogical strategies. Results: The findings indicate that implementing STEAM in physics education significantly enhances students' creativity. The reviewed studies show that STEAM facilitates active involvement in design, innovation, and interdisciplinary problem-solving. Students demonstrate increased creative thinking, especially in formulating ideas, constructing models, and exploring solutions collaboratively. Novelty: This study synthesizes recent empirical evidence on the effectiveness of STEAM in physics learning, highlighting its role in promoting creativity. The review emphasizes STEAM’s potential as an effective pedagogical alternative to traditional physics instruction, particularly in nurturing 21st-century skills in secondary education.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the implementation of the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) learning approach in enhancing students’ critical thinking skills. The urgency arises from the challenges of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era in the 21st century, where technological advancement dominates all aspects of human life. However, Indonesia still struggles with low-quality human resources in the face of global competition. Educational reform through innovative learning approaches such as STEAM is therefore essential. Method: This research employed a qualitative approach with a literature study design. Data were collected from various academic sources, including books, journals, and credible scientific publications, which were then analyzed through thematic interpretation to identify the relevance and effectiveness of STEAM in fostering critical thinking abilities. Results: The findings reveal that the STEAM approach is practical in developing students’ critical thinking skills by encouraging integrative learning that connects scientific concepts with creativity, problem-solving, and real-world applications. Students engaged in STEAM-based learning show improved reasoning, analytical ability, and adaptability, which are crucial competencies in 21st-century education. Novelty: This study highlights the contribution of STEAM as not only a multidisciplinary learning model but also as an innovative educational reform strategy for Indonesia. By integrating art with science and technology, STEAM offers a holistic framework to prepare students for global challenges while simultaneously strengthening critical thinking as a core competency.

Abstract

Objective: This study investigates the declining enrollment trend in the Physics Education Study Program at Universitas Pendidikan Mandalika (UNDIKMA), a private higher education institution in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The objective is to identify the factors contributing to reduced student interest and to propose strategic interventions to revitalize the program amid increasing competition between public and private universities. Method: A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining longitudinal analysis of enrollment data with qualitative insights from interviews, surveys, and document reviews. Comparative data from similar study programs at both private and public universities in the region were also examined. Additionally, SWOT and TOWS analyses were conducted to generate strategic recommendations. Results: The findings reveal a consistent decline in enrollment, influenced by limited career prospects for physics education graduates, dominance of public universities in the region, outdated curricula, and weak promotional strategies. Comparative analysis underscores structural disparities in institutional reputation and resource allocation between private and public institutions. Novelty: This study highlights the urgent need for contextually adaptive strategies to sustain science-based teacher education in non-metropolitan regions. The proposed interventions—curriculum restructuring, digital rebranding, alum engagement, and hybrid learning formats—offer an integrated framework for enhancing program appeal. The research contributes to policy discourse on sustaining strategic academic programs in private institutions by emphasizing the importance of institutional identity and targeted communication.
