Hypothesis testing in this study used the ANACOVA test. The results of the research on students' creative dispositions obtained the value of Sig. (α) = 0.000 <0.05 while creative thinking skills obtained Sig. (α) = 0.005 < 0.05. The results of the study showed that students who were taught using the STEM learning approach were better than students who were taught with a scientific learning approach using the verification practicum method.]]>
