Project based-learning based on I-STEM (Islamic, Science, Technology, and Mathematics) to facilitate the development of geometric critical thinking skills of first middle students
In line with the 21st century, mathematics learning innovations continue to be developed to facilitate students' critical thinking skills by adjusting the context of their religious life. The purpose of this study is to provide ideas that teachers can do to implement Project Based Learning (PjBL) with a STEM (I-STEM) approach that is used to facilitate the development of students' critical thinking skills. The pattern of integration that is designed lies in the flat plane geometry material with the integration of the verses of the Koran and the internalization of Islamic values, with the hope of being able to create meaningful learning activities for students. This research is a qualitative research with library research. Data collection techniques are carried out through reviewing the literature, both from articles, books, and other documents that can be used to describe theories and information needed in research. The data analysis technique used is content analysis (content analysis). The results of this study are the I-STEM-based PjBL syntax includes 1) basic questions (integration with the verses of the Koran presented in the LKPD); 2) designing project plans (miniature Kaaba); 3) draw up a project completion schedule; 4) monitor project progress; 5) test project results (and compare with other problems); and 6) evaluate the learning experience. I-STEM-based PjBL was developed to facilitate the development of students' critical thinking skills through syntax and LKPD which were developed adapted to the context of Islamic life and the Koran at the junior high school level
