This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the science and technology community (STM) approach to student learning outcomes on the concept of ecosystems. The method used in this study is a quantitative descriptive experimental method. The results obtained are the tcount value of 5.80, with a significant level of α = 0.05 and dk = 68, the value of t(1- α) = t(0.95)(68) = is 1.67. The conclusion of this study shows that students who are taught using the STM approach have better learning outcomes than those who do not use the STM approach to the ecosystem concept at SMA Negeri 1 Seunagan, Nagan Raya Regency.
