Abstract

This research examines how storytelling might be used to teach STEM to Indonesian youth. After reviewing several research publications, the study concludes that narrative can improve student engagement, motivation, and STEM comprehension. The research uses qualitative methods such as case studies, observations, interviews, and focus group discussions to understand STEM education storytelling learning outcomes. The study found that narrative makes STEM subjects more engaging and increases students' STEM knowledge and skills. Despite promising results, the study admits limitations like the short intervention length and small sample size, suggesting that more research is needed to grasp storytelling's potential in STEM teaching properly. The paper finds that hands-on exercises and play with narrative can help young learners develop a more profound interest and knowledge of STEM subjects, providing significant insights for educators and parents.
