Abstract

he Science Technology Engineering Arts Mathematics (STEAM) approach was present in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0, the STEAM approach was able to stimulate skills 21st century Technology and Engineering can be introduced by considering the stages of growth and development of early childhood. This study aims to describe the efforts of teachers in implementing STEAM which is able to construct gender equality in early childhood. This research method uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data collecting techniques were carried out by interview, observation, and documentation study. The research sample was conducted in groups B1 and B2 and two teachers were selected by purposive sampling technique. STEAM is able to bring up the HOTS profile in children, this result can be seen in (1) STEAM activities at the beam center, it can be seen that the ability of C4, C5 and C6 in children can appears when children have conversations between children in the presentation of the results of today's activities. (2) STEAM activities in the center of nature, HOTS thinking skills in children can be seen in the dancing corn experiment. Coaching teachers in the dancing corn experiment really trains children to be able to think up to C6 (3) STEAM activities in the preparation center, the HOTS profile is seen when children do weight-bearing activities, conversations between friends show how the HOTS mindset can develop. Some of these aspects can emerge through the stimulation of the STEAM approach which is transferred through the coaching in which there is an invitation sentence. The conclusion of this study is that the implementation of STEAM can maximize HOTS for early childhood. The implication of this research is that it can be used as a guideline in implementing STEAM by paying attention to the coaching and loose parts of the media.
