Creative Thinking Skills of Science Teacher Candidates in Making Biobatteries through STEM Project Based Learning
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to describe the thinking skills of prospective science teachers in making biobatteries through the Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematic (STEM) integrated Project-based learning (STEM Pjbl) approach. This research was conducted in one of the Islamic universities in Indonesia involving 119 science teacher candidates. The students were formed into 20 groups of 5-6 members. A qualitative approach was used in this study to describe students' creative thinking skills. The research data were collected through observation, interviews during focus group discussions (FGDs), and portfolio documents. The collected data were analyzed using the Creativity Product Analysis Matrix (CPAM) instrument. There are 3 dimensions of creativity that are assessed, namely novelty, resolution, and elaboration. The results showed that the creative thinking skills of science teacher candidates were 67.8% and classified as "good". The implementation of STEM Pjbl in making biobatteries has made students actively involved and able to develop their creativity. Therefore, this learning can be used as an alternative learning in higher education.
