Abstract
Critical and creative thinking is a component of 21st-century skills that meet the needs of
the educational process. Moreover, local wisdom learning, which is closely related to scientific
concepts, also needs to be emphasized. This study aimed to analyze students' critical and
creative thinking skills by implementing Project-Based Learning Integrated with Ethno-STEM.
This study was a case study with a One-Shot Case Study design. Its subjects were 36 students of
class XI Science Program of SMA Negeri 1 (State Senior High School 1) Weleri as many as 36
students. The data collection used a test instrument validated by experts and gained a Cronbach
Alpha score of 0.72. Based on the results of data analysis, it revealed that students' critical
thinking skills included good criteria with the highest achievement in the aspect of providing
simple explanations. In contrast, students' creative thinking abilities belonged to good criteria
with the highest achievement in flexibility, giving various interpretations of an image, story, or
problem. In conclusion, Project-Based Learning integrated with Ethno-STEM can train students'
critical and creative thinking skills.

Abstrak
Berpikir kritis dan kreatif merupakan komponen keterampilan abad ke-21 yang
memenuhi kebutuhan dalam proses pendidikan. Selain itu pembelajaran kearifan lokal yang
berkaitan erat dengan konsep keilmuan juga sangat perlu ditekankan. Penelitian ini bertujuan
untuk menganalisis keterampilan berpikir kritis dan kreatif siswa melalui penerapan Project
Based Learning Terintegrasi Etno-STEM. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian studi kasus dengan
desain One-Shot Case Study. Subyek penelitian adalah siswa kelas XI IPA SMA Negeri 1 Weleri
sebanyak 36 siswa. Pengumpulan data menggunakan instrumen tes yang telah divalidasi oleh
ahli dan menunjukkan skor Alpha Cronbach 0,72. Berdasarkan hasil analisis data
menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa termasuk dalam kriteria baik dengan
capaian tertinggi pada aspek memberikan penjelasan sederhana sedangkan kemampuan
berpikir kreatif siswa termasuk dakam kriteria baik dengan capaian tertinggi pada aspek
flexibility yaitu memberikan bermacam-macam penafsiran terhadap suatu gambar, cerita, atau
masalah. Kesimpulannya, Project Based Learning terintegrasi Etno-STEM dapat melatih
keterampilan berpikir kritis dan kreatif siswa.

Phase 1) The teacher divided into groups (e.g., five groups).
Engage 2) The teacher played a related video: Covid-19.
3) The teacher asked rhetorical questions such as: "What do you observe from
the video related to Covid-19, why it is spreading, what should be done to
prevent it."
4) Finding the benefits of learning the importance of soap or concepts related
to organic chemical reactions [saponification]
5) "What should we do to avoid Covid-19?"
