Abstract

Collaborative and problem-solving skills is an important aspect in science learning. This study purposes to describes student perceptions of collaborative learning, problem-solving learning, and STEM learning. This research uses descriptive method involving 59 high school students in Kuningan Regency. Data were obtained based on student response to questionnaire. The questionnaires were used to explore students^ perceptions of collaborative learning, problem-solving learning, and STEM. The questionnaire addressed to the students consisted of 15 items on the opinions, attitudes, and environment of students with collaborative learning, problem-solving learning, and STEM. Results showed that average 52% of students showed perception about feasibility of collaborative leaarning, 60% feasibility of problem-solving learning, and 42% feasibility of STEM. Meanwhile, the students^ responses indicate that learning in school has less supported collaborative, problem-solving, and STEM activities. So it is necessary to develop learning in schools that can support students^ collaborative skills, problem solving abilities, and STEM activities.
