Abstract


The purpose of this research is to examine the difference in the improvement of students' critical thinking skills between students who receive treatment using the STEM learning approach and students who only use conventional learning at SD Muhamadiyah 12 Medan in Mathematics learning. The research method used is a quantitative research method using an experimental design using 2 classes as the control group and the experimental group. Each class will be given a pre-test before being given treatment and a post-test after being given treatment. The results showed that there was a significant effect of the application of STEM learning on the critical thinking skills of fourth-grade students at SD Muhamadiyah 12 Medan in Mathematics learning, where the significance value was 0.000 < 0.05. Therefore, it can be said that there is a significant effect of the application of STEM-based MIKiR learning on students' critical thinking skills in mathematics subjects.
