Implementation of STEM Book in Earthquake Themes

摘要

STEM learning in Indonesia has been implemented in several schools. But the fact show that STEM learning is still done once in a semester with the constraints of the unavailability of teaching materials. STEM learning with the activity of making products will make meaningful learning. The purpose of this study is to describe the engineering abilities of students after using the STEM book on the earthquake theme that had been developed using Four Step Teaching Materials Development (4S TMD) method. The results of the application of STEM teaching materials show that the average score of student engineering ability in the competence of understanding the basic principles of technology were in the medium category. On the other hand, 3 groups of students get high average scores in the competence of developing solutions and achieving goals, while 2 groups get medium scores.
