Abstract

This research aimed to synthesize and evaluate the integrated online learning model based on STEM
education to enhance critical thinking ability of students in secondary education level. Samples in the study
included 12 educational experts who are good at synthesizing learning model and 5 professionals on
evaluating model. The research found that the developed learning model consisted of 5 modules which are
1) knowledge module, 2) teaching module, 3) coaching module, 4) STEM strategy module, and 5) evaluation
module. There are 6 learning steps in the learning model included 1) preparation, 2) search, 3) hypothesis,
4) action, 5) presentation, and 6) evaluation. The result of the evaluation of the learning model’s suitability
found that the developed learning model was highly appropriate in all 4 dimensions and in the overall was at
high level as well. In short, it is suitable to be used as a learning model.
