Abstract This study uses qualitative methods describing the integration of STEAM-project-based learning with the aim of training the critical thinking skills of 18 male and 18 female students in science learning. The application of STEAM is done by integrating it with a project-based learning model on the topic of energy transformation through the electric bell project. Instruments are used to explore the development of critical thinking skills through interviews, observations, reflective journals, and critical thinking skills tests. The study found that students trained STEAM-PjBL to ask questions and have a good understanding of the energy change from electrical energy to sound energy. In addition, through problem solving and project creation, students are encouraged to connect ideas, make assumptions, and infer concepts. The challenges faced in this study are time management, project ideas related to teaching concepts, and student engagement. In addition, STEAM-PjBL integration provides an opportunity for teachers to develop their competencies in applying various methods to encourage students in the test results of the test is students achieve mastering (40%) and competent (30%) at a critical level. Only temporary small (3.80%) students no concept of transformation correctly, even after knowing the distance.

The research aimed to (1) analyzes the effects of model project-based learning approach on  STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematic) on science learning to junior high school student’s critical thinking skills and cooperative skills, and (2) analyze how the effects of model project-based learning approach on STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematic) on science learning to junior high school student’s critical thinking skills and cooperative skills. The research was quasi-experimental with a non-equivalent control group design. The population was eighth-grade students of SMP Negeri 1 Berbah. The sample of the study was selected with cluster random sampling techniques and obtained grade-VIII B as an experimental class and grade-VIII C as a control class. Learning in the experimental class with a project-based learning model was STEM-oriented and the control class used a scientific approach. The data were pretest and posttest of critical thinking and observation sheets of cooperation. The analysis used the normality test, homogeneity test, MANOVA  test, and effect size. The results showed that (1) there was an effect of project based learning model on STEM approach on critical thinking skills and cooperative skills of students of SMP Negeri 1 Berbah, (2) the effect of science learning project based learning model on STEM approach on critical thinking and collaborative skill was on medium category.

<em>This study aims to determine the application of PjBL model based on simple props and critical thinking skills of students in the School Laboratory course. This research uses research type Pre-Experimental Design with sample of all students of semester II which programmed Laboratory School on even semester 2016/2017 in </em><em>Program Studi Pendidikan Fisika Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan Universitas Papua. The results showed that the props designed by students 74.0% ± SD 4.2 or are in a good category. Assessment of practical worksheet covers the aspect of format, content, language/writing, and benefits/functions obtained 80.3% ± SD 7.4 or are in the very good category. Critical thinking skills of the students during the learning that is 66.7% ± SD 4.9 or are in a good category. Therefore the application of PjBL learning based on simple props can be used to develop critical thinking skills.</em>

The development of experiential learning methodologies is gaining attention, due to its contributions to enhancing education quality. It focuses on developing competencies, and build-up added values, such as creative and critical thinking skills, with the aim of improving the quality of learning. The interdisciplinary mechatronics field accommodates a coherent interactive concurrent design process that facilitates innovation and develops the desired skills by adopting experiential learning approaches. This educational learning process is motivated by implementation, assessment, and reflections. This requires synergizing cognition, perception, and behavior with experience sharing and evaluation. Furthermore, it is supported by knowledge accumulation. The learning process with active student’s engagement (participation and investigation) is integrated with experimental systems that are developed to facilitate experiential learning supported by properly designed lectures, laboratory experiments, and integrated with course projects. This paper aims to enhance education, learning quality, and contribute to the learning process, while stimulating creative and critical thinking skills. The paper has adopted a student-centered learning approach and focuses on developing training tools to improve the hands-on experience and integrate it with project-based learning. The developed experimental systems have their learning indicators where students acquire knowledge and learn the target skills through involvement in the process. This is inspired by collaborative knowledge sharing, brainstorming, and interactive discussions. The learning outcomes from lectures and laboratory experiments are synergized with the project-based learning approach to yield the desired promising results and exhibit the value of learning. The effectiveness of the developed experimental systems along with the adopted project-based learning approach is demonstrated and evaluated during laboratory sessions supporting different courses at Sanyo-Onoda City University, Yamaguchi, Japan, and at the American University in Cairo.

This study aims to determine the critical thinking skills of prospective teachers of biology at Pasundan University in the course of educational psychology. Implementation of Problem Based Learning learning model aims to measure students' critical thinking skills. The method used in this study is a quasi-experimental design with Randomized Control Group Posttest, data obtained based on the analysis, the data is described to obtain information or a description of the results of this research. The population in this study were 104 students, the sample in this study were 39 students for the experimental group-1 and 39 students for the experimental group-2. Data collected test data obtained from the test results of students who are given a score based on the indicators. results of research show that the critical thinking skills of prospective teachers of biology in educational psychology courses including category sufficient for the experimental group-1 and category well for the experimental group-2. The average score of the experimental group-1 amounted to 2.73, and the average score of the experimental group-2 by 3.05. Indicators of critical thinking skills at the highest indicator 3 (I-3) with an average of 3.38 for the experimental group-1 and 3.41 for the experimental group-2. Indicators of critical thinking skills are the lowest in two indicators (I-2) that is equal to 2.23 for the experimental group-1 and 2.74 for the experimental group-2. The average percentage of absorption problems in the experimental group-1 amounted to 51.25%, while the experimental group-2 amounted to 57.21%. The results of significance test p-value (0.008). Based on the significance of the test results can be concluded that the experimental group-2 has the critical thinking skills is better than the experimental group-1.

Abstract: The science learning process emphasizes providing direct experience to develop competencies in order to be able to explore and understand the nature around scientifically. students can gain direct experience, so they can add strength to accept and apply the concepts they have learned. Integrated science learning deals with the way students think and develop critical thinking skills. These skills include the ability to think critically, think creatively, and problem solving abilities. Modules are printed teaching materials that are designed to be independently studied by students, Module development is done to improve students' critical thinking skills.
