The Need Analysis Developing STEM Embeded Project

Abstract

At this time, the work environment requires basic skills that are integrated with real life experience. Many students who fail to acquire these skills face the risk of unemployment because they only have theories or memorization that are not accompanied by the application of theory in daily life. Thus, to be more innovative, to have good, ideal and imaginative creativity, one must have high order thinking (HOT) to enhance their creative thinking and critical thinking skills. Therefore, this research emphasizes how to instill thinking skills through the STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematic) project, to increase student attention in learning. This survey research was carried out as a first step in the development of the embedded STEM project in the city of Pekanbaru. The benefit of research is that we will get what students need at the moment in learning science. The analysis of this need is seen based on 4 indicators namely a) analysis of learning problems, b) analysis of objectives, 3) analysis of learners and d) analysis of settings. Based on the results of this study obtained information that the development of embedded STEM projects received a good response and is feasible to be developed in the city of Pekanbaru.
