Abstract :This study aimed to identify the changes of 21st century skills among students after participating in integrated Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematic (STEM) education programme. The learning activities in this programme applying Project Oriented Problem Based Learning approached as a fundamental pedagogy. A total of 125 secondary school students age 13-14 from four different zone of FELDA regions were involved as respondents. This study employed one group quasi-experimental and survey design to identify student’s 21st century skills before and after the programme. The data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0 for descriptive analysis, which later followed by inferential analysis to compare the means (t-test) between pre and post groups. The findings from this study revealed that, the level of 21st century skills among students significantly increase. Interestingly, one of the 21st century skills components namely ‘high productivity skills’ shows positive changes, from moderate to high level skills.  The outcome of this study provide evidence that the application of Po- PBL in STEM education could help students to enhance their 21st century skills by learning how to solve the real world problems based on the authentic and real life experience  through project work.
Keywords : 21st century skills, Po PBL, STEM education, project based learning, problem based learning digital age literacy, ınventive thinking, effective communication, high productivity, spiritual values
