Abstrak

Era modern saat ini sangat bergantung pada teknologi hampir di segala aspek, sehingga permintaan akan tenaga ahli di bidang teknologi semakin meningkat. Namun, hal ini tidak sesuai dengan keadaan di sekolah. Oleh karena itu, negara-negara di dunia mulai menerapkan pendekatan STEM ke dalam kurikulum nasional. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peningkatan minat berkarir di bidang sains bagi siswa setelah menerapkan pendekatan STEM. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian quasi eksperimen dengan menggunakan rancangan pretest-post test control group design. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah kuesioner minat karir sains yang mengacu pada Social Cognitive Career Theory. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan STEM melalui kegiatan STEM seperti merumuskan masalah, merancang solusi, praktikum, dan merencanakan proyek, akan memberikan pengetahuan tentang minat karir siswa. Minat karir siswa di bidang sains pada materi larutan penyangga menunjukkan berada pada kategori cukup. Aspek lingkungan lebih dominan mempengaruhi minat karir siswa dengan indikator yang dominan adalah tenaga pengajar sekolah. Penelitian lebih lanjut dapat dilakukan untuk melihat peningkatan minat siswa terhadap karir di bidang sains setelah menerapkan pendekatan STEM pada tingkat sampel yang lebih besar seperti sampel siswa SMA di kota.
