There are many studies on the inquiry-based learning model on the critical thinking ability of students in
universities in Indonesia. However, there has been no in-depth and accurate conclusion of inquiry-based
learning and critical development of students. This study aims to determine the influence of inquiry-based
learning and the development of students' critical thinking in STEM learning. In this study, 20 studies
obtained from google scholar were analyzed; ERIC; ScienceDirect, Wiley, Taylor of Francis, and Emerald
from 2021 to 2024 with a total of 1305 participants. The data analysis in this study was done with JSAP
0.16.3 software assistance. The effect size criteria in the study were determined with a confidence interval
of 95%. The results of this study concluded that the effect size value was obtained through a random effect
model, which was 1.049 (strong effect size). These findings show that the application of the inquiry-based
learning model has a significant influence on the development of students' critical thinking in STEM
learning. Inquiry-based learning is very effectively applied to students to improve the critical thinking of
university students in the era of the 5.0 revolution.
