Abstract

This study aims to (1) improve students' critical thinking skills through the application of STEM learning to force and motion material in class IV SD Negeri 4 Parigi, (2) improve student learning outcomes through the application of STEM learning to force and motion material in class IV SD Negeri 4 Paris. The sample used in this study were all students of SD Negeri 4 Parigi, totaling 25 students consisting of 12 female students and 13 male students. The type of research used in this research is Classroom Action Research (CAR) using the STEM approach with the 5E type cycle model. The results obtained showed that there was an increase in the critical thinking skills of SD Negeri 4 Parigi students through the application of the STEM approach, for pre-cycle completeness presentations of 16%, in cycle I the presentation of completeness was 52%, and in cycle II the presentation of completeness was 88%.
