Scientific literacy indicates that science has value outside scientific practice. This idea and reality is hardly modern, although we lose sight of this history. Scientific literacy has been promoted as important goal since at least the 6th century BC. That was when Thales of Miletus led discussions at the Ionian School, to explain objects and natural phenomena by inquiries and theories, as precursors of modern science. Unfortunately, PISA study at 1999-2015 and several works on that period, has showes that common science teachings don't optimally guide students to achieve scientific literacy. As matter of fact, the answer to what is the best teaching methods to achieve scientific literacy has not been obtained yet. By proposing this work, we are consider that STEM education as an alternative to guide students on achieve scientific literacy. STEM that an acronym for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics defined as the integration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics into a new cross-disciplinary subject in schools. We don't deny that the concept of integrating subjects in Indonesian schools, generally is not new and has not been very successful in the past. In addition, some people consider STEM as an opportunity while others view it as having problems. However, the answer to how STEM education implementation could help guide students on achieve scientific literacy has not been studied yet comprehensively. Therefore, STEM education’s lesson plans is very important to be designed. This work designed STEM education’s lesson plan for guide students to achieve scientific literacy, used R&D approach four-D model that reduced into three stage: define, design, and develop. The final test of any teaching methods lies, of course, in implementation. This work is non-implementation throughtout.

Scientific literacy indicates that science has value outside scientific practice. This idea and reality is hardly modern, although we lose sight of this history. Unfortunately, PISA study at 1999-2015 and several works on that periods, has shows that common science teachings dont optimally guide students to achieve scientific literacy. As matter of fact, the answer to what is best teaching method to achieve scientific literacy has not been obtained yet. By proposing this work, we are consider that thematic learning as an alternative to guide students on achieve scientific literacy. Thematic learning is an instructional method of teaching in which emphasis is given on choosing a specific theme for teaching one or more concepts . It is based on integrating various information and use it to demonstrate the topic. Pedagogy of thematic learning is based on its exploration of broad areas in one theme. We dont deny that the concept of integrating subjects to teach in Indonesian schools, generally is not new and has not been very successful in the past. In addition, some people consider thematic learning as an opportunity while others view it as having problems. However, the answer to how thematic learning education implementation has not been studied yet comprehensively. Therefore, thematic learning education’s lesson plans is very important to be designed then implemented. This work constructs lesson plan for guide students on achieve scientific literacy, using R&D approach four-D model that reduced into three stages: define, design, and develop. It gained lesson plan, students worksheets, also assessment test as well, that validated by experts and practitioners nor reliability counted based exclusively on test. The final test of any teaching methods lies, of course, in implementation. The implementation of this work is yet to do.

It is requisite that each activity is necessary to have a clear purpose as it was designed to be a well applicable plan. Scientific literacy indicates that science has value outside scientific practice is hardly modern idea and reality, although we lose sight of this history. Unfortunately, PISA study at 1999-2015 and several preexist works has shows that common science teachings don’t optimally guide students to achieve scientific literacy. As matter of fact, the answer to how to guide student achieving scientific literacy has not been obtained yet. By proposing this work, I am consider that thematic learning as an alternative method to guide students on achieving scientific literacy. Thematic learning is an educational method of teaching in which emphasis is given on choosing a specific theme for teaching concepts.

The answer, however, to how thematic learning education implementation has not been studied yet comprehensively. Therefore, thematic learning lesson plans is very important to be designed then implemented. This work constructs lesson plan to guide primary education student on achieving scientific literacy, using R&D approach four-D model: define, design, develop, and disseminate. It gained lesson plan completed by student worksheets also assessment tests as well, that validated by experts and practitioners nor reliability counted based exclusively on test.

In the past two decades, STEM education has been slowly replaced by “STEAM,” which refers to learning that integrates science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. The added “Arts” portion of this pedagogical approach, although an important step towards integrated 21st century learning, has long confused policymakers, with definitions ranging from visual arts to humanities to art education and more. The authors take the position that Arts can be broadly interpreted to mean any approach that brings interpretive and expressive perspectives to STEM activities. In this chapter, they present illustrative cases inspired by work in real learning settings that showcase how STEAM concepts and computational thinking skills can support children's engagement in cultural, performing, and fine arts, including painting, sculpture, architecture, poetry, music, dance, and drama.

The emergence of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) in research and the practice of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education is today an unquestionable fact at international level. Despite the importance attached to STEM education, there is a lack of synthesized approaches to teaching the interdisciplinarity of STEM. This lack of synthesis can hinder a strong theoretical foundation for STEM education and possible new contributions. The purpose of this position paper is to contribute a theoretical framework for STEM education that enables the unification of criteria regarding disciplinary integration and associated teaching methods. The authors discuss disciplinary integration in STEM activities, the implication of STEM literacy, educational stage, and teaching method, and provide suggestions for future research.

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education curriculum and instructional design continuously undergo reforms that aim to prepare learners for the challenges of the 21st century (Hoeg & Bencze, 2017; Pietarinen et al., 2017). In particular, STEM education has adopted strategies that integrate modern technologies in teaching and learning to enhance knowledge construction and application among learners and societies. In some countries, STEM education reforms are fuelled by socio-economic and political imperatives that seek to promote social justice (Mnguni, 2018). More recently, the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic has forced schools and universities to adopt online teaching methods to reduce the coronavirus's spread. Consequently, researchers are exploring strategies for the incorporation of online teaching and learning methods. The effectiveness of these strategies and their impact on the students' conceptualization of STEM knowledge, its application, and relevance are continuously being investigated.

Most educators agree that assisting students in building character is a worthwhile education goal. Character affects everything about their lives such as their thoughts, decisions, actions, relationships and goals. The purpose of this work was to find out the ways to build the students' characters through (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Education and Scientific Literacy. It can be concluded that building students' characters through STEM Education and Scientific Literacy has already been an alternative ways. Through STEM Education, students are urged to develop their knowledge and critical thinking to face existing phenomena. Students will also be able to design advantageous technology as alternative solution. Through Scientific Literacy, other than gaining new knowledge, students will be also urged to identify problems, describe scientific phenomena, and able to draw conclusion from the empirical evidences they found. In the end, student will be more sympathetic towards their environment, especially the science related ones.

STEAM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics. STEAM defined as the integration of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics into a new cross-disciplinary subject in schools. The concept of integrating subjects in Indonesian schools, generally is not new and has not been very successful in the past. Some people consider STEAM as an opportunity while others view it as having problems. Fenny Roshayanti is science educator and researcher that consider STEAM as an opportunity. She has involved the study of STEAM, as an author, educator, academic advisor, and seminar speaker. This article examines what it has been and continues work from Fenny Roshayanti in the science education. Our exploration uses qualitative methods of narrative approaches in the form of biographical studies. Participants as data sources were selected using a purposive sampling technique which was collected based on retrospective interview and naturalistic observation. Data's validity, reliability, and objectivity checked by using external audit techniques. This work explores the powerful of female’s personal style in developing a form of social influence based on her forms of capital as well as address the positive and negative consequences that may follow while implement and research STEAM in teaching classroom.
