Impact of STEM Approach Implementation on Subjects of Mathematics and Physics for Freshmen Students

The study explores the implementation of a STEM approach using Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in mathematics and physics subjects for freshmen students. Data collection spanned from 2017 to 2023, focusing on students in these disciplines. The data were categorized into three groups based on the years of approach implementation. The research involved two main statistical analyses, Descriptive Analysis: This analysis examined variables such as approval rates and absenteeism over the years. Inferential Analysis: Here, variables related to attendance, approval, grades, and implementation were evaluated. The goal was to determine whether the STEM approach significantly impacted student performance. The findings shed light on the effectiveness of the PjBL model with a STEM focus in enhancing conceptual understanding and creativity among students
