Abstract

Learning that uses conventional methods does not facilitate students in the engineering process and is deficient in technology. Learning that is dominated by conventional methods is not effective in achieving the demands of 21st century skills. The purpose of this study is to develop STEM learning products (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) in Elementary Schools so that learning is more meaningful. Research that has been conducted using Educational Design Research methods by using the stages of research according to McKenney & Reeves consisting of Analysis and Exploration, Design and Construction, and Evaluation and Reflection. Data collection techniques were carried out with interview techniques, documentation studies, observations and questionnaires. After two trials of learning design in elementary school consisting of 50 students, it was stated that this learning design was valid, practical and usable. Even do, students and teachers responded positively to the implementation of STEM learning designs. This STEM learning design can be used as an alternative by the teacher in carrying out the learning process involving the process of engineering and technology so that it can meet the demands of skills in the 21st century. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
