Abstract

Science teachers have already implemented STEM education approach at some schools of west Java Province-Indonesia along year 2016 periods. The research aims to elaborate the enhancement of STEM literacy based on gender. The subject were three classes of students (90 Students, consist of 45 male and 45 female students) from three schools which implemented the STEM learning in different topics. The teacher model was the teacher who was involved in the project so she has the same perception and understanding to STEM learning with the team. The research methods was quasi experiment with the pre-posttest control group design. The research shows that in general, gender does not give any affect to the enhancement of STEM literacy of student. The deeper analysis shows that compare to male students, the higher enhancement of science literacy is shown by female students. Meanwhile, male student achieves the enhancement of technology and engineering literacy much better than female students. The similar enhancement of math literacy is shown by both of male and female students. By the research it can be concluded, that male student tend to learn science on using kinesthetic, meanwhile the female students use auditory. Both of male and female student showed the same level of logical thinking along the learning.
