Abstract

Kajian ini bertujuan menilai keberkesanan Model 4I-PBL (Inspire, Inquire, Innovate, Implement) dalam memperkaya pengalaman pembelajaran STEM dalam kalangan pelajar pintar dan berbakat. Model ini mengintegrasikan pembelajaran berasaskan projek (PBL), teknologi digital dan kolaborasi dengan pakar industri sebagai alternatif kepada pedagogi konvensional yang kurang menekankan penerokaan aktif dan aplikasi dunia sebenar. Kajian melibatkan 77 orang pelajar aliran Digital Inovator di Kolej PERMATA@Pintar Negara, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia ini menggunakan pendekatan kaedah campuran merangkumi data kuantitatif dan kualitatif. Analisis statistik deskriptif menunjukkan tahap kepuasan dan motivasi pelajar yang tinggi, dengan nilai min antara 4.10 hingga 4.50 serta sisihan piawai yang rendah. Analisis korelasi Pearson pula mendapati hubungan positif yang signifikan antara kepuasan dan motivasi pelajar, serta antara konstruk afektif ini dengan kemahiran penyelesaian masalah, kreativiti dan inovasi. Dapatan ini menunjukkan bahawa fasa berperingkat dalam Model 4I-PBL berfungsi secara saling berkaitan dalam menyokong pembelajaran bermakna dan berorientasikan aplikasi sebenar. Dapatan kualitatif turut mengukuhkan hasil ini dengan menunjukkan peningkatan kemahiran teknikal, pemikiran kreatif dan aplikasi pengetahuan STEM. Secara keseluruhan, kajian ini membuktikan bahawa Model 4I-PBL merupakan strategi pedagogi STEM yang holistik dan berimpak tinggi untuk pembangunan potensi pelajar pintar dan berbakat.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the 4I-PBL model (Inspire, Inquire, Innovate, Implement) in enriching STEM learning experiences among gifted and talented students. The model integrates project-based learning (PBL), digital technologies, and collaboration with industry experts as an alternative to conventional pedagogical approaches that place limited emphasis on active exploration and real-world application. The study involved 77 students from the Digital Innovator stream at Kolej PERMATA@Pintar Negara, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, and employed a mixed-methods approach incorporating both quantitative and qualitative data. Descriptive statistical analysis revealed high levels of student satisfaction and motivation, with mean scores ranging from 4.10 to 4.50 and low standard deviations. Pearson correlation analysis further identified significant positive relationships between student satisfaction and motivation, as well as between these affective constructs and the development of problem-solving, creativity, and innovation skills. These findings indicate that the progressive phases of the 4I-PBL model operate in an interconnected manner to support meaningful, application-oriented learning. Qualitative findings reinforced the quantitative results, highlighting improvements in technical skills, creative thinking, and the application of STEM knowledge in authentic contexts. Overall, the study demonstrates that the 4I-PBL model is a holistic and high-impact STEM pedagogical strategy for nurturing the potential of gifted and talented students.
