The Effect of Canva-assisted <i>PjBL-STEAM</i> to Improve Creative Thinking and Collaboration on Energy Concept

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of Canva-assisted PjBL-STEAM learning model to improve students' creative thinking and collaboration skills. This type of research is quasi-experimental with Noneequivalent Control Group Design with pretest and posttest forms. Measurement of creative thinking ability is carried out by pretest and posttest, while collaboration ability is measured by observation sheets by observers as the main data and Self-assessment questionnaires as supporting data. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics. Data analysis of creative thinking and collaboration skills was performed with normality test, t-test, and N-Gain. The study sample consisted of 62 learners in two groups, experimental and control classes. The research findings showed that the Canva-assisted PjBL-STEAM learning model had a significant effect on improving students' creative thinking and collaboration skills in experimental classes compared to control classes using the Discovery Learning Model. There are significant differences between the two groups in indicators of creative thinking (fluency, flexibility, elaboration, and originality) and indicators of collaboration ability (active contribution, productive performance, sociability, responsibility, and respect for others). The results showed that Canva's PjBL-STEAM learning model on energy materials can improve students' creative thinking and collaboration skills. Canva's PjBL-STEAM learning model can help teachers prepare students to face the challenges of the 21st century. In the STEAM project, students are trained to be able to think creatively and collaborate in solving problems related to life, so that learning is more meaningful.
