Abstract

Penelitian ini menganalisis pengaruh model Project Learning (PjBL) terintegrasi pendekatan STEM berbantuan aplikasi TikTok terhadap keterampilan berpikir kreatif siswa pada materi gerak parabola. Metode yang digunakan adalah quasi eksperimen dengan desain nonequivalent control group design. Sampel terdiri dari dua kelas, yaitu kelas eksperimen yang memperoleh pembelajaran PjBL-STEM berbantuan TikTok dan kelas kontrol yang hanya menggunakan model PjBL tanpa integrasi STEM dan media digital. Instrumen penelitian berupa soal tes berpikir kreatif yang didasarkan pada empat indikator yaitu kelancaran, orisinalitas, fleksibilitas, dan elaborasi. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara kelas eksperimen dan kontrol, ditunjukkan dengan nilai rata-rata N-gain sebesar 0,79 (kategori tinggi) pada kelas eksperimen dan 0,50 (kategori sedang) pada kelas kontrol. Pengujian hipotesis menggunakan uji t sampel independen menghasilkan nilai hitung = 8,683 > tabel = 1,677 yang berarti terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan penggunaan pendekatan PjBL-STEM berbantuan TikTok terhadap keterampilan berpikir kreatif siswa. Peningkatan tertinggi terdapat pada indikator orisinalitas dan kelancaran. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan penggunaan TikTok sebagai media pembelajaran inovatif yang dapat mendukung integrasi pendekatan STEM dalam mengembangkan keterampilan abad 21.
