The Development of Creative Problem Solving Process on “Cells and Cell Functions” Topic through STEAM Education
Keywords:
Creative Problem Solving, STEAM EducationAbstract
This classroom action research aimed to 1) study best practices for STEAM education teaching develop creative problem solving skill, and 2) develop creative problem solving skill using STEAM education teaching. The participants were 26 grade 10 students. The data were collected using creative problem solving evaluation form, students’ worksheets, teacher’s reflective journal, and student’s reflective journal. Quantitative data were analyzed by mean and qualitative data were analyzed with inductive analysis. The findings showed that the best practices to develop creative problem solving skill were: 1) using the problem which should be interesting and connect with the daily lives of students, 2) Application step of STEAM education teaching should provide more time for students to enhance their solutions. Regarding group study, the students should be able to group up by themselves with whom they are familiar for brainstorming, and 3) using questions in the worksheets that are detailed and covers the problem. Furthermore, the results also revealed that learning through STEAM education teaching, students showed creative problem solving skill in step 1 (understand the challenge) was the highest which mean was 3.8. The results of this research can be used as a guideline for teachers to develop a teaching method. To further develop creative problem solving skill to be effective for students.
