PjBL-STEM, Critical ThinkingAbstract
Project-Based Learning model integrated with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (PjBL-STEM) is an innovative learning model that involves project work in which students independently construct their learning and accumulate it into tangible products. This study aims to measure the impact of the PjBL-STEM model on the critical thinking skills of 10th-grade students at MA Sumber Bungur Pakong, Pamekasan. The research method used is a quasi-experimental design with a Nonrandomized Control-Group Pretest-Posttest design. The research sample consisted of 47 students selected using random sampling techniques, divided into experimental and control groups. Data were collected through essay tests and questionnaires, and then analyzed using ANCOVA. The results indicate that the PjBL-STEM model has a significant effect on improving students' critical thinking skills. These findings suggest that PjBL-STEM is effective in developing critical thinking skills among students.
