Abstract
The research purpose is to analyse the needs of Science Technology Engineering and Mathematic (STEM)-based science practicum books for secondary school. This is descriptive qualitative research with questionnaire and interview methods. The sample of this research were secondary school science teacher and students. The data were analysed descriptively with the results of data processing in percent (%). The results showed that 98% of secondary school science teachers did not know that STEM-based practicum activities could train 21st century students' skills and 90% of secondary school students stated that they never carried out practicum activities other than laboratory activities. The results also shows that 75% of students do not have science practicum book and only have worksheets provided when carrying out practicum activities. Furthermore, the results of the study also showed that 70% of students stated that practicum activities were not discussed deeply when they entered the class. It can be concluded that there is an urgency to develop a STEM-based science practicum book to that can practice students' 21st century skills in facing the era of the industrial revolution 4.0.
