The Comparison of STEM approach and SSCS Learning Model for Secondary School-Based on K-13 Curriculum: The Impact on Creative and Critical Thinking Ability
Abstract
In the 21st century, the significance of competencies is increasing in our everyday lives and in the labor market. Such complex competencies like critical and creative thinking is a topic that are becoming more and more relevant. In the past, researchers have shown a direct link between creative thinking and teaching methods. The project will apply a STEM research method throughout the study and comparing SSCS learning. The study focuses on the critical examination of specific assignments and students' critical and creative thinking. In this study, researchers used prisms and pyramids as stimuli for 125 students to evaluate their imagination. This study uses a quasi-experimental design to explore a different hypothesis about the link between STEM and SSCS on student creativity and critical thinking. To determine whether or not the data collection technique can assist students in improving their critical and creative thinking, it has been put through its paces. MANOVA has been shown to be effective in testing hypotheses in several studies. Compared to the SSCS learning model, the STEM-based K-13 curriculum positively impacts critical and creative thinking. It can be concluded that the STEM approach, as opposed to the SSCS model, can be used as an alternative solution for learning in the industrial era 4.0.
