A DEVELOPMENT OF ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND CREATIVITY IN PHYSICS OF GRADE 10 STUDENTS, IN THE TOPIC OF SHOCKPROOF PACKAGING BOX, THROUGH INQUIRY-BASED STEM LEARNING

Abstract

This research article aims to develop academic achievement and develop creativity of secondary school students in physics, which a Quasi Experimental Design. By using STEM education activity, in the Topic of Shockproof Packaging Box. The target groups in the research were 30 students in Grade 10 special classrooms for science, mathematics, technology and the environment in the academic year 2020 by specific selection. The tools used include 1) STEM EDUCATION ACTIVITIES GUIDE Shock-proof packaging box. 2) An achievement test in physics subject on Momentum, inhalation and Impulse It is a 20-item, 4-choice test used to measure before and after the activity.3) Creativity Assessment The four areas of creativity are originality, fluency, flexibility, and elaboration. The statistics used to analyze the data were mean, standard deviation, and t-test. The results showed that 1) Educational achievement of Grade10 students in physics subject on Momentum, inhalation and Impulse by using learning activities according to STEM education approach. The mean score before studying was 12.93 points, representing 64.65%, and the mean score after school was 18.43 points, representing 92.15 on the mean difference test. It was found that the average score after school was statistically significantly higher at the .05 level . 2) Students who have learned using STEM-based learning activities Shock-proof packaging box Able to develop creativity in all 4 areas with average In descending order as follows, flexibility was 3.80, originality was 3.50, elaboration was 3.16, and fluency was 3.00.
