Abstract
Nowadays, educational system engages with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). STEM is a solution to face industrial revolution 4.0. It encourages Students to Study and think critically, utilize technology, and make appropriate curriculum with industrial need. It helps Students to contextualize materials from the school with workplace atmosphere. STEM learning is also able to increase creativity, knowledge, and new innovations.The objective of the Study is to establish the implementation of STEM-based geometry module to improve critical thinking skill. The population in this study is all junior high schools students in Kebumen district which are sampled using stratified cluster random sampling. The sample in this study consists of 179 students including 90 experimental class students and 89 control class students. This research is an experimental research design with one group pretest-posttest design. Data on critical thinking skill of students use instruments test about the description of critical thinking skill. The results reveal that the average value of N-Gain in the experimental class is 0.32 with a medium improvement category and the average value of N-Gain in the control class is 0.12 with low improvement category. Therefore, it can be referred that the implementation of STEM-based geometry module can improve critical thinking skill.
