Effectiveness of student math-worksheets with a picture-based approach of the STEM

Abstract

The integration of approaches between science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in education is one of the solutions to achieve learning objectives. By applying the STEM approach to Student Math-worksheets (SMw) supported by picture models, it is expected to be an alternative source of learning that is more effective in guiding learning with supported pictures that help participants develop imagination and connect the lesson with the circumstances. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the use of Student Math-worksheets with a picture-based STEM approach. The research method used is the percent N-Gain and t-test. As for the tests used in the form of pretest and posttest from the experimental class and the control class, then analyzed the effectiveness test using percent N-Gain and the results will be analyzed by t-test and then continued with the Effect Size test to find out the effective/successful scale of the use of Student Math-worksheets. The result is that the Student Worksheets used is quite effective, and there are significant differences in the effectiveness and analysis of high-scale effect size tests.
