Summary/Abstract: There is widespread agreement that 21st-century skills are skills that should be possessed by students in the current era; however, generally, the component value of these skills is low. This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of the physics electronic teaching material-integrated STEM education (PETMS) in improving the 21st-century skills of students. This research was an experimental study with a post-test-only design with a non-equivalent group. The research subjects consisted of 66 students in two groups. The results indicated that the use of the PETMS was effective in improving students’ mastery of concepts and three aspects of 21st-century skills: creative thinking, critical thinking, and communication. Based on this result, it is inferred that the PETMS is an effective teaching material in promoting students’ 21st century skills and is expected to be a relevant reference to enhance the quality of physics learning and to apply in the 21st-century learning era.
