    Abstract

    Keterampilan proses sains yang masih rendah pada siswa sekolah dasar menjadi permasalahan dalam pembelajaran IPA. Hal ini disebabkan oleh pembelajaran yang minim eksplorasi dan kurang memanfaatkan media interaktif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh pendekatan STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) berbantuan media pembelajaran PhET terhadap peningkatan keterampilan proses sains siswa sekolah dasar. Penelitian menggunakan metode quasi eksperimen dengan desain nonequivalent control group design. Populasi adalah seluruh siswa SDN di kabupaten Purwakarta dan sampel penelitian adalah 56 siswa kelas V pada salah satu sekolah negeri di kabupaten Purwakarta yang kemudian dibagi menjadi kelas eksperimen dan kelas kontrol, masing-masing kelas terdiri dari 28 siswa dipilih melalui purposive sampling. Kelas eksperimen memperoleh pembelajaran dengan pendekatan STEM berbantuan media PhET, sementara kelas kontrol menggunakan pendekatan saintifik berbasis diskusi kelompok. Instrumen penelitian berupa tes keterampilan proses sains terdiri dari 12 soal pilihan ganda yang mencakup enam indikator, yaitu observasi, klasifikasi, interpretasi, berhipotesis, menerapkan konsep, dan berkomunikasi. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara hasil pretest dan posttest pada kedua kelompok. Kelas eksperimen menunjukkan adanya peningkatan yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan kelas kontrol. Dari hasil analisis membuktikan bahwa pendekatan STEM berbantuan media PhET berpengaruh dalam meningkatkan keterampilan proses sains siswa sekolah dasar yakni sebesar 26,8%. Penelitian selanjutnya disarankan untuk mengeksplorasi aspek lain dari keterampilan proses sains. ----- Low levels of science process skills among elementary students continue to pose a significant challenge in science education. This issue is largely attributed to instructional methods that offer limited opportunities for exploration and fail to incorporate interactive media effectively. The present study seeks to investigate the impact of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) approach integrated with PhET interactive simulations on enhancing students’ science process skills at the elementary level. A quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group was employed. The study population encompassed all elementary school students in Purwakarta Regency, with the sample comprising 56 fifth-grade students from one public elementary school. Participants were assigned to an experimental group and a control group, each consisting of 28 students, selected through purposive sampling. The experimental group received instruction using the STEM approach with support from PhET simulations, whereas the control group engaged in learning through the scientific approach facilitated by group discussions. The research instrument used was a science process skills test consisting of 12 multiple-choice items, designed to assess six core indicators: observing, classifying, interpreting, hypothesizing, applying concepts, and communicating. Data analysis revealed significant differences between pretest and posttest scores in both groups, with the experimental group showing a more substantial improvement. These results suggest that the implementation of the STEM approach supported by PhET simulations has a positive influence on the development of science process skills among elementary students, contributing to an effect size of 26.8%. Further research is encouraged to explore additional dimensions of science process skills.
