STEM Education Based on Engineering Design Process on Mechanical Equilibrium to Enhance of Creativity and Innovation of the 〖"10" 〗^"th" Grade Students

Abstract

          This research aimed to study the learning processes of STEM Education Based on Engineering Design Process and production of Mechanical Equilibrium topic to enhance of Creativity and Innovation of the  Grade Students. The research methodology was classroom action research consisting of 3 cycles. The participants were 24 students in the  Grade in a Chainat province school, in the second semester, 2021. They were selected by purposive sampling. The research instruments included STEM Education Based on Engineering Design Process lesson plans, student artifact, reflection form, evaluation form of creativity and innovation, evaluation form of student artifact. The data analysis consisted of content analysis and statistics. The results showed that the learning processes of STEM Education Based on Engineering Design Process have the processes of the following: the teacher should realise the significant situation which it should be the conditions for the students. Students must analyse the disadvantages of the situation through brainstorming. Students will have to design various projects. Students have to plan projects. Students have to choose the appropriate project and present the project by themselves. The result of learning process of STEM showed that students develop the project continuously and students also have better scores. Nevertheless, the working creatively with others should be showed all through the learning process and the behavior that the students showed the least was Openness and courage to explore.
