Abstract

Facing the challenges in the 21st century and entering the 5.0 society era, education plays a major role in preparing quality students, students are required to have the competence to think creatively in dealing with various problems. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) literacy is a new approach developed to support learning in the 21st century. This article aims to explore the perceptions of physics teachers in the development of an integrated assessment instrument with STEM Literacy. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative with purposive sampling technique. The main respondents of this study were five high school physics teachers. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed through the thematic analysis approach. The main finding of this study is that teachers have different understandings of the STEM concept in learning. Teachers do not have experience in developing between assessment and STEM Literacy. Teachers are interested in developing assessments that are integrated with STEM Literacy.
