Abstract

The independent campus curriculum is an effort to increase competition in the 21st century, which requires competent human resources in the fields of science, technology, engineering,and mathematics(STEM).STEM learning responds tothe need to increase students' interest and skills in these areas. This study aims todetermine the effect of using the STEM approach on spatial thinking skills in cartography learning. This research uses a quasi-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest Design, conducted in a singleexperimental class without a control class.Subjects were selectedby random sampling throughdrawing lots, focusing on 5th-semester B students.Data were analyzed using a t-test with paired samples T-Test. The results showed a sig value. (2-tailed) of 0.000, which is smaller than the significance value of 0.05. Therefore, H0is rejected,and Hₐis accepted. To conclude, there is an increase in the average pretest and posttest after learning using the STEM approach, indicating thatthe STEM approach positively affects spatial thinking skills. Each stage ofthe STEM approach affects the students’ spatial abilities. The science stages developspatial abilities in the form of spatial interaction. The technology stages enhance the ability to apply applications and scale on maps. The engineering stage fostersanalytical, representational,and comprehensive skills. The math stage improvesthe ability to calculate scale and its application in everyday life
