The Effect of STEAM-Based Project Based-Learning Model on Students Critical Thinking and Creativity at Homeschooling Pena Surabaya

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh model pembelajaran Project-Based Learning (PBL) berbasis STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) terhadap kemampuan berpikir kritis dan kreativitas peserta didik di Homeschooling Pena Surabaya. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif pre-eksperimen yang melibatkan desain One Group Pretest-Posttest, penelitian ini mengevaluasi perubahan kemampuan berpikir kritis dan kreativitas siswa sebelum dan sesudah penerapan model PBL berbasis STEAM. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan ini berdampak signifikan terhadap kedua aspek tersebut, dengan nilai rata-rata berpikir kritis meningkat dari 1.6667 menjadi 3.1083, dan kreativitas meningkat dari 3.005 menjadi 3.915. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran berbasis STEAM mampu menciptakan suasana belajar yang inovatif, kontekstual, dan relevan dengan kebutuhan abad ke-21, sehingga efektif dalam menumbuhkan keterampilan berpikir kritis dan kreativitas peserta didik.
