The Implementation of STEM-Integrated Project-Based Learning Model on Renewable Energy Topic Through a Windmill Simulation

The depletion of conventional energy sources requires human innovations related to renewable energy. Unfortunately, learning about renewable energy, especially in Indonesia, is only theoretical with teacher-centered learning. The learning should be student-centered as a future generation must be ready for all the changes and demands of the 21st-century era. This study aims to describe the process of implementing the STEM-integrated PjBL model on renewable energy issues through windmill simulation. The research was conducted in a High School in Jember Regency. This type of research is descriptive qualitative with a single case study approach. The results showed that the stages in STEM-integrated PjBL, including teacher introduction, objectives, connections, well-defined outcomes, materials, engagement, exploration, explanation, extension, and evaluation, are very suitable for implementation in high school, especially renewable energy. STEM-integrated PjBL can be conducted to make students more active in the learning process.
