Abstract

In the 21st century, rapid scientific and technological advancements have led to increased integration of knowledge. The fourth industrial revolution has emphasized the need for creative and critical thinking in education. To foster critical thinking, the independent learning curriculum has been implemented. However, many students, particularly in physics classes at SMA Negeri 50 Jakarta, lack critical thinking skills, resulting in low learning outcomes below the minimum passing grade (KKM). To address this, the STEM approach was adopted to enhance critical thinking and learning outcomes. The research's focus was to introduce STEM at SMA Negeri 50 Jakarta, aiming to investigate the impact of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) approach on improving critical thinking and learning outcomes in the context of the Force, Density, and Pressure subject at the high school level. This quantitative study's objective was to empirically assess how the implementation of the STEM approach influenced students' critical thinking skills and learning outcomes in the subject. The research considered independent and dependent variables, with critical thinking ability as the dependent variable and the STEM teaching approach as the independent variable. The research design chosen was the Nonequivalent Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design, intending to observe the enhancement of critical thinking skills in the experimental group through STEM teaching. Initial data were derived from Grade XI students' final examination scores at SMA Negeri 50 Jakarta in the academic year 2022/2023. The study employed pretest and posttest scores as data collection tools, utilizing descriptive questions related to critical thinking indicators. By analyzing the difference between pretest and posttest scores and calculating the normalized gain, the study aimed to determine the improvement in critical thinking abilities in both classes.
