Abstract

Developing students' creativity and problem-solving capability is a necessary, important, and long-term goal in high schools. Integrating STEM topics into the high school curriculum through interdisciplinary integration of subjects to solve real-life problems helps learners create practical products with useful application. Thanks to the STEM topics, learners are encouraged to apply their acquired knowledge to solve specific problems in real life, from which many different competencies are formed and developed for students especially problem-solving and creativity. The article presents the impact of applying STEM topics in teaching Chemistry to the development of students' creative and problem-solving abilities, the process of designing STEM topics in teaching Chemistry, the steps to implement the topic, product evaluation criteria, evaluation criteria for component competencies of creativity and problem-solving capability, and the results to develop students' problem-solving and creative capability through experimental teaching activities in high schools. The data obtained from the teacher’s assessment and the students’ selfassessment showed obvious development of students’ creative and problem-solving capability in the experimental class.
