Abstract

Vocational students as prospective professional workers should be equipped with technology engineering literacy abilities. The purpose of this study is analyzing the effectiveness of STEM-based workbooks provisioning capability technology engineering literacy by using multi modal representation. The research design used a pretest-posttest control group design. The results showed that the STEM-based workbooks by using multi modal representations can improve the technology engineering literacy of students. The hypothesis testing showed that there was a significant difference on the ability of technology engineering literacy between class that used STEM-based workbooks by using multi modal representations and the class that used the regular workbook in schools. Where as based on the size of the impact it has the value of the large categorical effect size. The use STEM-based workbooks which were developed by using multi modal representations type is effective to enhance students technology engineering literacy abilities.
