Rasional penelitian ini didasarkan pada kenyataan bahwa pembelajaran IPA pada materi Sumber Energi Terbarukan masih didominasi oleh metode konvensional, sehingga belum mampu secara optimal mengembangkan keterampilan abad ke-21, terutama kemampuan berpikir kreatif. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan perangkat pembelajaran yang lebih kontekstual, sistematis, dan inovatif melalui penerapan pendekatan Problem Based Learning (PBL) yang dipadukan dengan STEAM. Penelitian ini bertujuan menghasilkan perangkat pembelajaran berbasis PBL–STEAM yang valid, praktis, dan efektif untuk meningkatkan keterampilan berpikir kreatif siswa. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian pengembangan dengan model ADDIE (analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation).

Penelitian dilaksanakan di SMP Negeri 47 Surabaya pada semester ganjil tahun pelajaran 2025/2026 dengan subjek 60 siswa kelas IX. Teknik pengumpulan data meliputi validasi ahli, angket respon siswa, pretest–posttest berpikir kreatif, dan dokumentasi. Instrumen penelitian berupa lembar validasi modul ajar dan LKPD, lembar validasi instrumen tes berpikir kreatif, angket respon siswa, serta tes berpikir kreatif berdasarkan indikator Torrance (fluency, flexibility, originality, elaboration). Teknik analisis data meliputi Aiken’s V untuk validitas, analisis deskriptif untuk kepraktisan, serta analisis efektivitas menggunakan statistik deskriptif, N-gain, uji normalitas Shapiro–Wilk, uji Mann–Whitney, dan effect size Cohen’s d.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa materi pembelajaran berbasis PBL–STEAM memenuhi kriteria valid, praktis, dan efektif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kreatif siswa. Materi PBL–STEAM ini cocok digunakan dalam pembelajaran sains dengan topik Sumber Energi Terbarukan. Untuk implementasi di masa mendatang, guru disarankan untuk mengalokasikan lebih banyak waktu untuk penyelesaian proyek, karena menumbuhkan pemikiran kreatif yang sesungguhnya membutuhkan siswa untuk memulai dari awal.

Titis Yitno Isain, 2026, Development of PBL-STEAM-based learning tools to improve students' creative thinking skills on the subject of renewable energy sources. Thesis, Science Education Study Program, Postgraduate, State University of Surabaya. Supervisor : (I) Prof. Dr. Wahono Widodo, M. Si. Supervisor: (II) Prof. Dr. Eko Hariyono, S.Pd., M.Pd.

The rationale of this study is based on the fact that science learning on the topic of Renewable Energy Sources is still dominated by conventional methods, which have not optimally facilitated 21st-century skills, particularly creative thinking. Therefore, there is a need for learning materials that are more contextual, systematic, and innovative through the integration of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and STEAM. This study aims to develop PBL–STEAM-based learning materials that are valid, practical, and effective in improving students’ creative thinking skills. The method used is a development research approach employing the ADDIE model (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation).

The research was carried out at SMP Negeri 47 Surabaya in the odd semester of the 2025/2026 school year with the subject of 60 grade IX students. Data collection techniques include expert validation, student response questionnaires, creative thinking pretest tests, and documentation. The research instruments are in the form of teaching module validation sheets and LKPD, validation sheets for creative thinking test instruments, student response questionnaires, and creative thinking tests based on Torrance indicators (fluency, flexibility, originality, elaboration). Data analysis techniques include Aiken's V for validity, descriptive analysis for practicality, and effectiveness analysis using descriptive statistics, N-gain, Shapiro–Wilk normality test, Mann–Whitney test, and Cohen's effect size d.

The results of the study indicate that the PBL–STEAM-based learning materials meet the criteria of being valid, practical, and effective in improving students’ creative thinking skills. These PBL–STEAM materials are suitable for use in science learning on the topic of Renewable Energy Sources. For future implementation, teachers are advised to allocate more time for project completion, as fostering genuine creative thinking requires students to start from scratch.
