Abstract

The 21st century learning outcomes emphasize high-order thinking skills and information technology literacy. Using these skills, students can solve problems and think innovatively. Even though it has not been implemented optimally, STEM is a learning approach that is considered to be able to build high-level thinking skills of students. This study is an analysis phase in the development of virtual STEM for learning science. There were 52 respondents who participated in this survey. They are science teacher in Riau and Kepulauan Riau province. A questionnaire was used to identify the extent of respondents 'understanding about STEM and STEM implementation. The questionnaire also identified science teachers’ view of virtual STEM and the availability of computer facilities that support virtual STEM both at school and at students' homes. In this study, we found that some science teachers have already understood STEM but have not yet been implemented in their teaching. Especially for electrical circuit material, a virtual STEM project can be used as an alternative to overcome the problem of time constraints in running a project and is expected to improve the ability to think creatively.
