Preliminary Study: Development of Interactive Science Teaching Materials Based on STEAM-PjBL to Improve Students’ Science Process Skills
Keywords:
Interactive Teaching Material, STEAM-PjBL, Science Process Skill (SPS)Abstract
This study aims to develop an interactive science teaching material based on the STEAM–Project Based Learning (STEAM-PjBL) approach to improve elementary school students’ science process skills (SPS). The research method using the 4D model, focusing on the define stage, which included front-end analysis, learner analysis, concept analysis, task analysis, and the specifying instructional objectives. Data were collected through science process skills tests, classroom observations, interviews, and document analysis. The results of the initial SPS test showed that several indicators were still low, particularly communicating, observing, predicting, and inferring skills. Classroom observations revealed that science learning was still teacher-centered, with limited experimental and project-based activities, while teachers had not yet utilized interactive STEAM-PjBL-based teaching materials. The development of STEAM-PjBL-based interactive teaching materials is expected to facilitate active student involvement, support hands-on inquiry-based learning, and effectively enhance students’ science process skills in elementary science education.
