Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of the application of STEM education on students' problem-solving abilities at Islamic boarding schools in terms of educational background (santri-nonsantri and academic abilities). It is a pre-experimental research design using One Group Pretest-Postest Design. The population in this study is all physics education students at the Islamic University of Madura. The research sample is level 3 students, the determination of the sample is carried out using cluster random sampling technique. This research is a problem-solving ability test instrument in the form of description questions. Data collection is carried out by tests. Data analysis is carried out by two-way ANOVA test, N-Gain test, and effect size test. The results show the application of STEM education with influence significantly on the problem-solving ability of students in pesantren-based tertiary institutions and line with students' academic abilities. the higher the student's academic ability, the better the problem-solving ability. However, there is no relationship between the status of students and non-students. The challenges that must be solved in applying the STEM approach to Islamic boarding schools are difficulties in using mathematical procedures correctly and limited access to technology
