Pembelajaran berbasis Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) dirancang untuk meningkatkan keterlibatan dan minat siswa melalui pendekatan interdisipliner, namun kenyataannya masih terdapat siswa yang kurang aktif dalam proses pembelajaran. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kategori penerimaan pembelajaran berbasis STEM, dengan menggunakan Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) yang digunakan untuk mengukur faktor-faktor penerimaan dalam konteks pendidikan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitafif deskriptif dengan jenis penelitian survei. Populasi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu seluruh siswa kelas XI SMA Laboratorium Unsyiah yang berjumlah 118 siswa dengan teknik pengambilan sampel yaitu total sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui kuesioner yang disebarkan kepada siswa kelas XI SMA Laboratorium Unsyiah. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan analisis statistik deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa siswa memiliki penerimaan yang baik pada persepsi kegunaan (perceived usefulness) terhadap pembelajaran berbasis STEM, dengan persentase sebesar 77%. Namun, persepsi kemudahan (perceived ease of use) tergolong kurang baik, yaitu hanya mencapai 72%. Meskipun demikian, sikap (attitude toward) dan niat perilaku (behaviour intention) siswa untuk menggunakan pembelajaran berbasis STEM tetap pada kategori cukup baik yaitu 75%. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa rata-rata tiap variabel menunjukkan kategori penerimaan yang baik, kecuali pada variabel kemudahan (perceived ease of use).

Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) based learning is designed to increase student engagement and interest through an interdisciplinary approach, but in reality there are still students who are less active in the learning process. This study aims to determine the category of acceptance of STEM-based learning, using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) which is used to measure acceptance factors in the context of education. This study uses a descriptive quantitative approach with a survey research type. The population used in this study were all 118 students of class XI SMA Laboratorium Unsyiah with a sampling technique of total sampling. Data collection was carried out through questionnaires distributed to 11th grade students of SMA Laboratorium Unsyiah. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis. The results showed that students had good acceptance of the perceived usefulness of STEM-based learning, with a percentage of 77%. However, the perceived ease of use was classified as less good, which only reached 72%. However, students' attitudes (attitude toward) and behavioral intentions (behavior intention) to use STEM-based learning remain in the fairly good category, namely 75%. It can be concluded that the average of each variable shows a good acceptance category, except for the perceived ease of use variable. Keywords: Attitude, Behavior, STEM, TAM, Usefulness
