STEM LEARNING IN CHEMISTRY BASED ON MERDEKA BELAJAR
Abstract
Pre-designed learning to carry out the learning process is the key to successful learning. The
lesson plan developed with reference to the curriculum material, as well as the characteristics
of students. In learning chemistry, you can use learning methods that can make students
enthusiastic in learning and understanding chemistry. In learning chemistry, you can use a
STEM learning approach that has aspects of Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics that must be needed by students in facing the 21st century. After carrying out
the learning process with the STEM learning approach, it is hoped that students can master
the material and skills to face the real world and to solutions to the problems they will face.
Thus, this article discusses how the learning approach is used in chemistry lessons based on
independent learning in accordance with policies that facilitate administration for educators
to focus on the learning process in order to produce good learning and be able to improve
student learning outcomes for the better.
