Abstract

In line with the development of the world paradigm on the meaning of education, education is faced with a number of challenges, namely that education should be able to produce human resources who have complete competence. This competence relates to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics which is also known as STEM. The focus on STEM is education and work. Unfortunately, students in elementary schools in mathematics and science are not used to training in critical thinking. The results of this study indicate (1) the impact of STEM can improve students 'critical thinking in elementary schools, (2) the importance of STEM education, and (3) STEM as an alternative that can improve students' critical thinking skills. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
