Abstract

The importance of training students in 21st-century skills cannot be overstated in this era. These skills cover many competencies essential for success in the modern world, including problem-solving, critical thinking, collaboration, communication, creativity, and digital literacy. This study aims to get an overview of implementing the STEM-Project Based Learning to train and optimize the 21st-century skills of Physics Education teacher candidates. This study used a quasi-experimental research method with one shot case study design. The research sample comprised 42 physics education students who taught learning media courses. The application of STEM-project-based learning has shown an increase in students’ 21st-century skills that are reviewed at course meetings. In KKI-1, the percentage of achievement is 84%, which is included in the high category; KKI-2 has a percentage of 75% in the skilled category, KKI-3 percentage of 81% in the very skilled category, and the average percentage of KKI-4 is 73% in the skilled category. Creative thinking skills also show optimal achievement through data on fluency aspects of students, having a percentage of 81% in the high category, flexible thinking aspects with a percentage of 70% in the medium category, while the originality aspect of 83%, 85% for elaboration, and evaluation of 82%, each of which is included in the high category. This study concludes that STEM-Project Based Learning can train and optimize the 21st-century skills of physics education students, especially in creative thinking and communication skills.
