Description
Summary:This study aims to determine the effect of the STEM approach on mathematics literacy abilities of elementary school teacher education students. The method used in this research is pre-experimental with One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design with a population of semester 2 PGSD students with a total of 188 students. The sample in this study was 50 students. The instruments used include: mathematics literacy ability tests, interviews, and observation instruments. The results showed that: 1) there was an effect of the STEM approach on the mathematics literacy ability of elementary school teacher education students; 2) to further optimize learning it must be prepared more thoroughly and planned, 3) the role of educators or lecturers in applying models or approaches must be adapted to the demands of 21st-century skills.
