ABSTRACT
21st century skills consist of 12 skills that are currently needed by students to support success in their future career
paths. PjBL integrated STEM is believed to improve the 21 st century skills. This research aims to overview the Project
Based Learning integrated STEM and describe the 21st century skills in Project Based Learning integrated STEM on
science subject. This research was a systematic literature review. The systematic literature review uses PRISMA
guidelines and flowchart. The PRISMA guidelines include 27 point of checklist item and four-phase flow chart for
transparency in the literature review. This research analysing 17 articles about Project Based Learning integrated
STEM on 21st century skills that have been previously obtained. The syntax of PjBL-STEM consists of five steps,
namely reflection, research, discovery, application, and communication. Overall, the PjBL-STEM enhanced the 21 st
century skills, especially on learning skills (4C) and scientific literacy skills. The effect of PjBL-STEM on media and
technology literacy needs to be researched more further.

Research Student research process. During the research phase, the teacher's role is to guide the
discussion to determine whether students have developed conceptual and relevant
understandings based on the project
Discovery The discovery stage generally involves the process of bridging research and known
information in project development. Some of the models from STEM PjBL divide
students into small groups to present possible solutions to problems, collaborate, and
build cooperation between friends in groups.
Application At the application stage the goal is to test the product / solution in solving problems. In
this stage, students test products and the results obtained are used to correct previous
steps.
Communication The final stage in each project is to create a product / solution by communicating
between friends and class scope.
