Electronic Physics Teaching Materials with a STEM Approach to Improve Students' Science Literacy

Abstract

Despite the importance of scientific literacy, the scarcity of teaching materials to foster this skill has led students to demonstrate low levels of it. The study aims to assess the feasibility of using electronic teaching materials with a STEM approach to increase students' scientific literacy. The specific objectives of this study are to describe the practicality and effectiveness of electronic teaching materials with the STEM approach to increase students' scientific literacy. This uses a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design with 37 students in class XI at a Senior High School in Banjarmasin. Data collection techniques used student response questionnaires and scientific literacy learning outcomes tests. The data were analyzed by reviewing the average questionnaire response score and the n-gain score on the learning outcomes test. The results of the study show: (1) electronic teaching materials with the STEM approach are classified as effective because the scientific literacy n-gain value is in the moderate criteria; (2) electronic teaching materials with a STEM approach include practical, student responses in practical criteria. Obtained from the results of student responses in the practical criteria. Thus, the electronic teaching materials developed are effective and can be used by teachers as an alternative to improve students' scientific literacy. The results of this study imply that electronic teaching materials based on the STEM approach are effective and practical alternatives for improving students' scientific literacy. It is recommended that teachers start integrating STEM-based teaching materials into the learning process, and that further researchers test their effectiveness across different levels and subjects.
