Abstrak

Penelitian ini bertujuan menyintesis bukti empiris mengenai integrasi pendekatan Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) pada Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD) dan pendidikan dasar, yang dilatarbelakangi oleh kesenjangan antara konsep ideal dan implementasinya dalam pembelajaran. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Systematic Literature Review (SLR) dengan mengacu pada pedoman PRISMA 2020, melalui penelusuran literatur pada sejumlah basis data dan sumber akademik dengan rentang publikasi tahun 2015–2026. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa integrasi STEM merupakan pendekatan pembelajaran interdisipliner yang autentik. Model yang berpotensi dikembangkan meliputi pembelajaran berbasis proyek dan masalah, Engineering Design Process (EDP), model sosio-konstruktivis, dan kerangka inSTEAM, yang didukung oleh strategi bermain, inkuiri, kolaborasi, dan eksplorasi. Integrasi STEM menunjukkan potensi positif dalam mengembangkan kemampuan kognitif, akademik, sosial-emosional, dan keterampilan abad ke-21 anak. Namun, implementasinya masih menghadapi berbagai tantangan, meliputi ketidakjelasan definisi, keterbatasan kompetensi dan keyakinan guru, kurikulum yang kurang fleksibel, keterbatasan sumber daya, serta minimnya penelitian longitudinal dan lintas budaya, khususnya di kawasan Asia Tenggara. Kajian ini menyimpulkan bahwa keberhasilan integrasi STEM memerlukan pengembangan profesional guru secara berkelanjutan, kepemimpinan sekolah yang mendukung inovasi, kemitraan universitas dan sekolah, keterlibatan orang tua dan komunitas, serta pengembangan instrumen asesmen yang valid, reliabel, dan kontekstual.
