Abstract
This research discusses the effect of STEAM class projects and learning motivation on students' critical thinking skills in the concept of quadratic equations and functions. The study involved two classes as control and experimental classes in a school in Peureulak, where students were assigned to design a bridge structure using 4D Frame+BS media. Students' critical thinking skills and learning motivation were assessed using a descriptive test and a closed-ended questionnaire, then the data were analysed using a two-way ANOVA test. The results showed that the STEAM project, together with increased learning motivation, resulted in improved students' critical thinking skills. This study highlights the potential of project-based learning in STEAM classes to address the gap in learning motivation in this area. However, further research is needed in this area as current research on this topic is limited.
