Profile of Junior High School Students’ Learning Outcomes on Newton’s Laws Following STEM-Based Generative Learning

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the learning achievement profile of junior high school students after participating in STEM-based generative learning on Newton’s Laws. The study employed a quantitative descriptive method involving 38 eighth-grade students of SMP Sukma Bangsa Sigi during the first semester of the 2025/2026 academic year. Data were collected through learning achievement tests and documentation, then analyzed descriptively based on the percentage of indicator achievement and learning achievement categories. The results showed that the average student learning achievement score was 58.96, which falls into the fair category. The highest achievement was found in the indicators of identifying force resultant diagrams (92.11%) and drawing force resultants (88.60%), both categorized as very good, while the lowest achievement was found in the indicator of applying Newton’s Laws to contextual problem-solving situations (30.39%), categorized as poor. The findings indicate that students’ learning achievement varied across indicators, with higher achievement on force representation indicators than on indicators requiring analytical and problem-solving skills. These results suggest the need to strengthen contextual learning activities and STEM-based learning experiences to further improve students’ learning achievement
