Abstract

In today's digital environment, using technology in learning is a requirement for staying relevant to the needs of the twenty-first century. The goal of this study is to develop learning tools that combine Project-based learning (PjBL) with STEM-based e-learning to assist students enhance their creative thinking skills and self-regulation. This study is a quantitative descriptive study using a one-shot case study research design and a research sample of 25 high school students in class for the academic year 2020/2021. The N-Gain score is used to collect data using test and non-test instruments before and after treatment to assess if there is an improvement in learning outcomes. All indicators of critical thinking skills and self-regulation increased as a result of the study. On the fluency indicator, the creative thinking skills indicator received the highest score of 0.86, while self-regulation received the biggest rise on the organizing and transforming indicator with a score of 0.83. The average increase in critical thinking skills is 73.66 percent, and the average rise in self-regulation is 79.42 percent, both of which are high

Summary

Introduction

Learning technology is a modern application or media that is utilized as a source of learning in both theory and practice. The characteristics of a fully internet-connected society are relevant to the employment of technology in the implementation of learning in the digital era. The internet has been utilized for a variety of purposes, including communication, information, entertainment, and most notably in the field of education (Dhahir, 2018). The focus of 21st-century skills development is no longer merely on low-level thinking skills, such as grasping concepts and applying them, and on higher-order thinking skills (Hasanah, et al, 2021). Higher-order thinking skills education in Indonesia is still lacking, one of which is creative thinking skills (Syukri, et al, 2021)
