Abstract

Abstract: Different types of skills are required to be able to remain competitive in 21st-century global developments, particularly in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of STEM project-based learning on students' motivation in learning heart transfer. The pre-experimental method with one group pre-test post-test design was implemented. The sampling technique used in this study was convenience sampling. The samples of this study consist of 26 students who come from two different schools in 7 th grade. Student's motivation is measured using the SMTSL questionnaire, and the data result analyzed using SPSS software. The result of this study showed that the implementation of STEM project-based learning gives an improvement in students' motivation significantly. Although N-gain values are 0.06, which categorized as low levels, the statistical test shows that there is a significant difference before and after the implementation of STEM project-based. According to this research, STEM project-based learning can be an alternative strategy to improve students' motivation towards science learning.
