Description
Summary:STEM Learning is developed to prepare students into a scientific and technologically advanced society. Teachers should begin to be sensitive to taking a role in STEM learning. The success of STEM implementation can be seen from 3 criteria, namely STEM outcomes students, school type, and how or instruction in implementing STEM. Research that has been done more focused on STEM outcomes students. It is necessary to examine how students and teachers interest in STEM. This study describes teacher and student perceptions of STEM. This research uses descriptive method involving 47 high school students and one high school biology teacher. Data were obtained based on student and teacher response to questionnaire about STEM. Results showed that average 71% of students showed positive perceptions of STEM viewed from 68% of interest, 63% of difficulty, 71% of ability, 75% of readiness, 69% of influence, 73% of career and 77% of STEM benefits. On average 82% of teachers showed a positive perception of STEM viewed from 71% of interest, 82% of ability, 83% of influence, 86% of benefit, and 86% of career. Students and teachers consider STEM essential for future career development, so feel interested and challenged to learn it.
