Abstract
This study aimed to examine the effect of integrating Wordwall media with the STEM approach on student creativity and learning outcomes in chemical compound nomenclature. A quasi-experimental method with a Pretest-Posttest Control Group design was applied. The experimental group used STEM-based Wordwall media, while the control group received conventional teaching. Results showed that the experimental group achieved a moderate N-Gain (0.66) compared to the control group’s lower N-Gain (0.29). The Mann-Whitney test indicated a significant difference between the groups (p < 0.05), suggesting that STEM-based Wordwall media improved learning outcomes. Creativity, measured using a Torrance-based questionnaire, also showed significant improvement after the intervention. In conclusion, integrating Wordwall media with the STEM approach effectively enhances student creativity and learning outcomes in chemical compound nomenclature.
