Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of STEM-based Learning Cycle 5E learning model on critical thinking skills of elementary school students in science subjects. Critical thinking skills are 21st century competencies that are important to develop early on. The study used a quantitative approach of Pre-Experimental Design type with One Group Pretest-Posttest design and involved 23 fifth grade students of SD Muhammadiyah 5 Porong. The analysis results showed an average N-Gain value of 0.6731 (medium category), and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test produced Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) of 0.000 (<0.05), which means there is a significant increase between the pretest and posttest scores. These results prove that the STEM-based Learning Cycle 5E model is effective in improving students' critical thinking skills. This model encourages active, collaborative, and contextualized learning through exploration and solving real problems.
