Abstract
This study evaluates how the STEM approach to teaching might address global educational concerns while enhancing elementary school students’ critical thinking skills. A key component of creative and social advancement, STEM-based instruction provides a cutting-edge framework that combines conventional instruction with skills that are relevant to the future. Employing a Solomon Four-Group experimental design, the study analyzes data from 184 public school pupils in the eighth grade. In a 2x2 factorial design, pretext, posttest, and retention posttest measures were used to compare the critical thinking results of STEM and traditional education methods. While STEM-based instruction dramatically enhanced critical thinking (posttest: M = 63.47, SD = 5.03; retention: M = 61.89, SD = 4.72, Cohen’s d = 1.52), traditional groups only made minor increases (pretest: M = 4.87, SD = 4.23). Treatment effects were found to be significant (F (1, 180) = 576.21, p < 0.05). STEM education gives young people the critical thinking skills they need to succeed in today’s complicated, interconnected world, producing workforce and informed citizens.
