The main problem of this study is the lack of ability to think kriis Elementary School fifth grade students in the learning of Social Sciences. This study uses a quantitative approach with quasi-experimental methods. The study population was the fifth-grade elementary school students in District Ciparay Bandung regency. The sample consisted of 51 students divided into 25 students in the class IV-A as an experimental group and 26 students in the class IV-B as the control group. Instruments used comprises a written test regarding social issues. Quantitative analysis is performed against the average pretest and post test critical thinking skills by using the t-test and Mann Whitney test. The results showed that the differences are critical thinking skills in students using problem-based learning model at initial measurement (pre-test) and the final measurement (post-test). encourage the student can solve his problems with critical thinking, there are no differences in the ability of critical thinking in students who use conventional learning model at initial measurement (pre-test) and the final measurement (post-test), there is an increased critical thinking skill in students whose learning using model-based the problem is higher than students whose learning using conventional learning.

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.
