Salah satu target dari Kurikulum 2013 adalah menciptakan peserta didik yang berguna, imajinatif, artistik dan amotif serta mempunyai andil dalam aktivitas masyarakat. Sejalan pada kurikulum 2013, kecakapan abad 21 juga menuntut peserta didik untuk memiliki kemampuan 4C yaitu critical thinking, creativity, communication and colaboration.  Hal tersebut dapat diwujudkan dengan menerapkan model pembelajaran berbasis penyelesaian masalah (PBL) dengan pendekatan STEM. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan LKPD terintegrasi STEM-PBL pada materi Hidrolisis Garam dan menentukan validitas dan kepraktisan LKPD yang dikembangkan. Jenis penelitian berupa Research and Development (RD) dengan menerapkan model 4D, yang meliputi empat tahap yaitu: tahap define, tahap design, tahap develop dan tahap disseminate. Penelitian ini dibatasi hingga tahap develop, tahap disseminate tidak dilaksanakan karena keterbatasan waktu. Instrumen penelitian berupa lembar validasi dan angket praktikalitas. Validitas dan juga kepraktisan data dianalisis menggunakan Formula Cappa Cohen. Berdasarkan hasil analisis angket validitas yang dilakukan oleh 5 orang validator didapatkan moment kappa (k) sejumlah 0,89 pada kategori kevalidan sangat tinggi. Hasil analisis uji praktikalitas terhadap 2 orang guru kimia diperoleh moment kappa (k) sejumlah 0,73 dengan kategori kepraktisan tinggi dan praktikalitas terhadap 9 orang peserta didik kelas XII sejumlah 0,92 pada kategori kepraktisan sangat tinggi. Hasil data mengungkapkan LKPD terintegrasi STEM-PBL valid dan praktis untuk digunakan dalam pembelajaran Kimia, terutama materi Hidrolisis Garam.

This paper attempts to present a proposal to teach the natural concepts of hydrodynamics under the ST(R)E(A)M approach. This is a comprehensive teaching proposal for pre-school teachers, with the possibility of implementation in each class, which helps the teacher to enrich his teaching with activities from science, technology, reading and writing, engineering and mathematics, promoting active participation, critical thinking, collaboration, creativity and developing skills necessary for tomorrow's citizens.

The nature of work is changing rapidly in the digital age, increasing the demand for skills in specific disciplines. Across the United States and beyond, this evolution has led to an increased emphasis on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education at every level. Meanwhile, at US institutions of higher education, the proportion of undergraduate students who earn a degree in the humanities is declining. However, while the public discussion often pits the disciplines against one another, the sciences, arts, and humanities are—as Albert Einstein once wrote—“branches of the same tree” [(2006)The Einstein Reader]. They are mutually reinforcing. Therefore, the best way to prepare the next generation for the future of work, life, and citizenship is to provide broad, holistic educational experiences that integrate the STEM disciplines with the arts and humanities. A new study from the Board on Higher Education and Workforce of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine bolsters the case for such an approach, finding considerable evidence that the mutual integration of disciplines leads to improved educational and career outcomes for undergraduate and graduate students.

The online world offers a huge number of opportunities and variety of information sources, which differ significantly from each other. To high extent the online world is the place, where youth spend most of their time. In such situation the creative and critical thinking are essential to help youth integrate and develop their individuality in the digital world. Furthermore, the interdisciplinary nature of digital art serves to develop creativity and critical thinking. In this way, they create new knowledge, which forms the necessary qualities for faster socialization in the virtual society. Thus, digital art merges with STEAM education, where science and art are integrated, namely Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics. The purpose of the current study is to identify the possible impact of STEAM education on the formation of the creative and critical thinking among young people. The authors use various methods such as analysis of the content, historical and comparative approach. The results show that the digital art and STEAM education can give the youth knowledge about how the technology is created and then express themselves through the art, which leads us to the conclusion that the indeed can support the creative and critical thinking.

STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) education is currently gaining ground in many parts of the world, particularly in higher stages of the educational system. Foreseeing a development of STEAM policy and research also in the early years, this colloquium seeks to bring questions of gendering processes to the table. The authors aspire to prevent the development of a gender-blind STEAM discourse for early childhood education. Instead, they encourage practitioners and researchers to make use of STEAM education to recognise and transcend gendered norms connected to children’s being and learning in the arts, STEM and STEAM.

Development Of Students

There has been a drive towards enhancing the critical thinking (CT) skills development of students in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines, both in Australia and internationally. One debate among CT theorists centres on whether CT comprises a set of generalizable skills or is content- and context-dependent. While previous studies have considered CT skills development and its assessment in pharmacy courses, there appears to have been limited scholarly research within the pharmaceutical sciences discipline. In seeking to address this, it is vital to understand how companies conceptualize CT and its use by Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Sciences graduates. This research identifies five major categories used to conceptualize CT in the companies interviewed: being systematic, having strong business sense, considering multiple solutions, considering implications and identifying problems and potential solutions. The study finds that, while these skills are dependent on the business context, they may be generalizable across a range of industries.

Test Result

The purpose of this study is to overcome the increased of critical thinking’ students after they used worksheet with STEM approach. This research method is experiment method that consist of preparing, implementation, and data processing. Increasing of critical thinking can be measured by pretest-posttest problems. The result of data normalization show that data have normal distributed so next test is n-gain test. Result of the n-gain test pretest-posttest scores around 0.5 (medium level categorized). The highest improvement is 0.9 at evaluation aspect and lowest increase is 0.3 at interpretation aspect.
