Integrating STEM and PjBL Approaches for Character Development: Literature Review Retni S

This research has a general aim to foster the development of students' character through integrated STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Project-based Learning (PjBL), and it has three specific objectives, namely to explain integrated STEM PjBL, integrated STEM PjBL teaching strategies, and the impact of integrated STEM PjBL on student character development. The research method used is literature review. This method involves the search and collection of information from various sources such as books, journals, articles, dissertations, theses, and other scholarly works related to the topic or issue under investigation. The results of this research indicate that integrated STEM PjBL can provide significant benefits to students in terms of motivation to learn, problemsolving skills, collaborative skills, and understanding of concepts. In the integrated STEM PjBL strategy, the teacher plays the role of a facilitator and mentor, providing guidance and constructive feedback to students at each stage of the project. Furthermore, integrated STEM Project-based Learning can have a positive impact on character development in students, especially in critical thinking skills, creativity, and collaboration.
