Abstract
The objectives of this research were to 1) develop and evaluate the quality of an integrated learning experience plan based on STEM Education and Community-based Learning for the Bulan Kite unit 2) study the problem-solving skill development of Kindergarten 3 students who received learning experiences based on STEM Education and Community-based Learning concepts in the Bulan Kite unit, and 3) examine the satisfaction of Kindergarten 3 students towards the integrated learning experiences of STEM Education and Community-based Learning in the Bulan Kite unit. The sample group consisted of 35 Kindergarten 3/2 students, obtained through cluster random sampling using classrooms as the sampling unit. The research instruments were 1) an integrated learning experience plan based on STEM Education and Community-based Learning for the Bulan Kite unit; 2) a problem-solving skills assessment form and 3) a satisfaction assessment form for kindergarten 3 students regarding the integrated learning experiences of STEM Education and Community-based Learning in the Bulan Kite unit. The statistics used for data analysis included mean, standard deviation, and t-test dependent for hypothesis testing.
The research findings were as follows 1) The integrated learning experience plan based on STEM Education and Community-based Learning for the Bulan Kite unit was consistent and appropriate 2) Students' problem-solving skills after learning were significantly higher than before learning at the .05 level 3) Kindergarten 3 students expressed a high level of satisfaction
