As a crucial element in Integrated STEM Learning, Robotics plays a vital role in developing 21st-century skills such as communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. This research aims to (1) analyse how 21st-century skills emerge in integrated STEM learning and (2) analyse how Educational Robotics supports the formation of 21st-century skills in Integrated STEM Learning. The study was conducted at a non-formal school in Central Java, Indonesia, involving primary and junior school students. The research adopted a qualitative approach, with learning conducted using Lego Mindstorm EV3 Educational Robotics by creating a door security alarm.. Data were collected through interviews and questionnaires to evaluate the role of robots in knowledge construction. Data analysis was performed using Qualitative Content Analysis in Atlas. ti. The results showed that (1) 21st-century skills emerge in integrated STEM learning by encouraging students to communicate, collaborate, think critically, and create, and (2) Educational Robotics supports the development of 21st-century skills by providing challenges that require cooperation, collaboration, and communication to solve problems. However, students need to further hone their skills, especially in communication and critical thinking, to achieve a higher level of 21st-century skill development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
