- Abstract
STEM education provides a particular context required for student learning in the 21st century. One of the st-century skills is digital literacy. Students’ digital literacy skills need to be developed to ensure that students will be able to maximize the use of technology in 21st-century learning. This study aims to improve students’ ability to think creatively using the STEM method in the learning process. This study was completed using the qualitative method. The results show that 1) the adoption of the STEM method in the learning process can improve the quality of 21st-century teachers and students because the STEM method is an interdisciplinary approach enabling students to use science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in real-life contexts connected to their schools, the world of work and the global world; 2) the obstacles include the lack of teacher preparation in teaching and understanding the diversity of student behavior; 3) to enhance the effectiveness of learning activities, teachers must be more creative, innovative and present good competencies. To improve their competence, teachers can continue to learn and attend training.
