DEVELOPMENT OF STEAM-HOLISTIC LEARNING TEACHING MODULES

Objective: The purpose of the research is to develop a digital-based holistic-integrative STEAM
learning model through a metacognitive approach for optimizing the intelligence abilities of
basic education students.
Theoretical Framework: A learning strategy is needed in facing the 21st century that is in
accordance with metacognition, namely the STEAM learning model.
Method: The development procedure in this study follows ten stages that refer to the system
approach model according to Dick, Walter; Carey, Lou; Carey. Cognitive development both
structurally and constructively contributes to building intelligence at every stage of a child's
development. In fact, many teachers ignore the process of building students' intelligence
abilities.
Results and Discussion: The results of the study obtained the syntax of the digital-based
holistic-integrative steam learning model through a metacognitive approach, namely model and
show, reflective discussion, learning journal, metacognitive questions, provide constructive
feedback, activity-based learning environment engineering, self-questioning, involvement in
assessment, evaluate learning outcomes.
Originality/Value: The development of teaching modules in student learning activities raises
the characters of honesty, mutual cooperation and nationalism. The conclusion of the results
of the teaching module states that it is very good, worthy of being used with minor revisions.
