Significant Difference

Improving the quality of education in Indonesia can be developed through the implementation of education reform. One form of educational reform can be done by using a learning approach that can assist teachers in producing experts using the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) approach. The initial findings revealed only about 47.8% of elementary school students in Wae Ri'i sub-district (grade V) who still had not achieved satisfactory scientific and mathematical scores according to the minimum passing grade. This study aims to see the effectiveness of the STEM approach in improving the critical thinking skills of elementary school students in Wae Ri'i District. The research method used is an experimental design with Non Equivalent Control Group Design. The research subjects were elementary school students in five (5) elementary schools in Wae Ri'i District. The results shows the sig (2-tailed) value of Equal variances is assumed to be 0.000 <0, 05. Therefore, Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted, which means that there is a significant difference in critical thinking skills after students used the STEM-PBL approach, compared to innovative K13 approach. The average scores of the control class critical thinking skills for the pre-test and post-test were 38 and 79.5. The fixed coefficient is 0.676 and is significant at 0.000. This means that the correlation is positive. Therefore, learning with STEM approach is proven to be effective in improving the critical thinking skills of elementary school students in Wae Ri'i sub-district.

The Subject

<p><em>This study aims to improve critical thinking skills through the application of a Problem Based Learning based. This research is a classroom action research conducted in two cycles with planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. Data collection instruments use question instruments, observation sheets, documentation, and field notes. The subject of the study was the fourth grade students of SDN 1 Muryolobo. The results showed an increase in critical thinking skills as indicated by the data in the pre cycle of 42%, in the first cycle increased by 67,23%, and in the second cycle increased by 80,72%. Increasing critical thinking skills also affects the students learning outcomes. This is indicated by the learning outcomes on Indonesian language in pre cycle, cycle I, and cycle II, are 45%, 68%, and 81%. Furthermore, the learning outcomes of IPS in pre cycle, cycle I, and cycle II are 36%, 63%, and 81%.</em></p>
