Student motivation and interest are essential components that contribute to the successful application of STEM-based learning, and they can be obtained through students’ feedback. Through feedback analysis, this study aims to obtain information about students’ motivation and interest in STEM-based learning activities. This survey research was conducted at one of Islamic high school in Aceh province. The research instrument was in the form of open-ended questions, amounting to four questions. Data were analyzed using an inductive approach. The results showed that students considered STEM-based learning to be fascinating because it trained them to think critically, creatively, and systematically, and relate to the real world. They also want to learn more about STEM-based biology learning. On the other hand, they think that teachers need to pay attention to learning facilities and techniques when carrying out STEM-based learning activities so that learning can run effectively. The results of this study inform teachers, lecturers, and education administrators to design effective STEM-based learning activities.
