Analysis of Science Concept Mastery, Creative Thinking Skills, and Environmental Attitudes After Ethno-STEM Learning Implementation

Abstract

This research aims to analyze differences in science concept mastery, creative thinking skills, and environmental attitudes based on students’ achievement levels after implementing Ethno-STEM learning. The method used in this study was quasi-experimental with one group pretest-posttest design. The population in this study was 194 seventh-grade students of SMP Negeri 2 Pekalongan. With the convenience sampling technique, 64 seventh-grade students were selected as samples and divided into upper, middle, and lower-achievement groups. Data were collected through an objective science concept mastery test, essay creative thinking skill test, and environmental attitudes scale. The results showed significant differences in science concept mastery in the upper and middle-achievement groups in the moderate category, while the lower-achievement group was in a low category. There were also significant differences in creative thinking skills for the upper and middle-achievement groups in the moderate category, while the lowerachievement group was in a low category. The environmental attitude test showed no significant difference between the pretest and posttest for all achievement groups.
