PEMBELAJARAN STEAM DENGAN PENGENALAN KONSEP TERAPUNG DAN TENGGELAM

Abstract

This research aims to explore how STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) learning can introduce the concept of floating and sinking to young children. The method used in this research uses descriptive qualitative research methodology and the participants are teachers, school principals and students. The research results show that the STEAM approach can improve children's scientific skills, such as observation, critical thinking and problem solving abilities. Children become more enthusiastic and interested in learning science, and are able to connect theory with practice through direct experiments. This learning not only increases scientific literacy but also provides a fun and meaningful learning experience for children. Overall, the STEAM learning approach with the introduction of floating and sinking concepts has proven to be effective in increasing understanding of basic science, overcoming the problem of lack of real experience in learning, and fostering curiosity and creativity in young children.
