Abstract


Education has entered a new era following the Covid-19 pandemic. The government has implemented a new curriculum, called the "Merdeka Curriculum" to respond to the challenges posed by the 4.0 Industrial Revolution and the Society 5.0 era. To face the challenges of the Society 5.0 era, critical thinking skills are essential. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) is a learning approach that emphasizes inter-disciplinary practices and practical activities in each subject area. This article aims to present the results of a literature review on the critical thinking skills of students in science education using the Merdeka Curriculum and integrated STEM education. The results of the literature review indicate that every indicator of critical thinking skills falls into the high category with an average score of 74.52. This shows that critical thinking skills in science education integrated with STEM education are crucial for improving students' critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and learning outcomes.
