Abstract

STEM is a scientific discipline applied in learning to improve students’ 4C abilities. This study aimed to determine the effect of implementing STEM projects on students’ learning outcomes and motivation in environmental change and preservation. This quasi-experimental study used a non-equivalent control group design, involving 61 students as the sample. The data collection was done by a test and the attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction questionnaire. The data were analyzed by independent sample t-test. This study’s results indicated significant differences between learning outcomes and student motivation in the experimental and control classes, t(59) = 2.81, p = 0.002 in learning outcomes, and t (59) = 2.59. P=0.012 on learning motivation. The correlation between learning outcomes and learning motivation was indicated by r = 0.027 (p <0.05), and the regression test results indicated R2 = 0.169 (t(56) = 1.93). Based on the research results, the STEM project can be applied by teachers to improve learning outcomes and student motivation in environmental change and preservation.
