Abstract

Mechanical wave matter is abstract material so it is still difficult to understand and affect to students’ problem-solving abilities (PSA). PSA is needed to understand and solve physics problems using accurate methods. The solution in an effort to improve the PSA of mechanical wave materials is to apply the STEM approach with Assessment Formative (STEM – AF) in Problem-Based Learning (PBL). This study aims to determine the effect of the application of STEM – AF in PBL on the PSA of prospective physics teachers in wave material. This research uses a mixed method with an experimental embedded design. The research was conducted on Physics education students of Nusa Cendana University, Class of 2022. The research instruments used were mechanical wave problem-solving test questions modified from Mechanical Wave Conceptual by Tongchai et al., (2020) and interview guideline instruments. The results showed that there is an influence of STEM – AF in PBL on the PSA of mechanical wave materials. The effect can be seen from (1) the difference between the PSA of the experimental class and the control class, (2) the N-gain test value of the experimental class is 0.52 higher than the N-gain value of the control class 0.42, and (3) each indicator of the PSA of the experimental class is higher than each indicator of the PSA of the control class. These results are supported by qualitative data where STEM – AF improves students’ PSA with product manufacturing process activities and question practice activities with appropriate procedures and accompanied by feedback. For future research, it is recommended to apply STEM – AF in Project Based Learning classes to mechanical wave materials.
