STEM EDUCATION:INOVASI DALAM PEMBELAJARAN SAINS
Abstract
Abstract— Science education is expected to be a vehicle for students to learn themselves and the natural environment, as well as the prospects for further development in applying it in everyday life. One's scientific literacy is closely related to technological and mathematical literacy. Science literacy can also be defined as the ability to read and write about science and technology. The application of science is very much found in technology products. It could be the opposite, science is found from the emergence of technology products. Some research results show that learning science in the context of technology and design has the potential to increase scientific literacy. Students can interpret more deeply the importance of science for technological development, and vice versa. STEM (Science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education is now an alternative science learning that can build a generation that is able to face the challenging 21st century
Keywords— Science literacy, STEM
Abstrak— Pendidikan IPA (sains) diharapkan dapat menjadi wahana bagi peserta didik untuk mempelajari diri sendiri dan alam sekitar, serta prospek pengembangan lebih lanjut dalam menerapkannya di dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Literasi sains seseorang sangat terkait dengan literasi teknologi dan matematika. Literasi sains dapat pula didefinisikan sebagai kemampuan membaca dan menulis tentang sains dan teknologi. Penerapan sains sangat banyak ditemukan dalam produk-produk teknologi. Bisa jadi sebaliknya, sains ditemukan dari munculnya produk-produk teknologi. Beberapa hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran sains dalam konteks teknologi dan rancang bangun sangat potensial meningkatkan literasi sains. Siswa dapat memaknai lebih dalam arti penting sains bagi perkembangan teknologi, dan sebaliknya. STEM (Sience, technology, engineering and mathematics) education saat ini menjadi alternative pembelajaran sains yang dapat membangun generasi yang mampu menghadapi abad 21 yang penuh tantangan.
Kata Kunci— Literasi Sains, STEM
