This study aims to analyse the implementation of the STEM approach in the Merdeka Curriculum at SDN 215/X Bukit Tempurung, East Tanjung Jabung, with a focus on the learning process, supporting and inhibiting factors, and the impact on student learning outcomes. A qualitative approach with a case study method was used in this research. Data were collected through observation, interviews with teachers and principals, and documentation of the implementation of STEM-based learning. The results showed that the implementation of the STEM approach succeeded in increasing students' involvement in learning, especially in project-based activities that integrate science, technology, engineering and mathematics. However, the main supporting factors include the use of local resources and teacher creativity, while the main challenges are limited teacher training and adequate facilities. The positive impact of STEM implementation was seen in the improvement of students' critical thinking, creative and collaboration skills. In addition, teachers also showed increased innovation in designing lessons. This research suggests the need for continuous training for teachers and improved facilities to optimise STEM implementation. This approach is in line with the objectives of Merdeka Curriculum, which aims to create creative, critical, and collaborative learner profilesDownloads
