Abstract
The performance assessment rubric is used to assess the 4C's of the 21st century skills. The rubric is used as a tool to measure the achievement of the 21st century competences. The aim of this research is to develop 4C's skills performance assessment rubric in STEM learning in elementary school. The method used in this research is Educational Design Research (EDR) which according to McKenney & Reeves consists of three stages, namely analysis and exploration, design and construction, and evaluation and reflection. The data collection process was carried out by conducting interview and expert evaluation. This study results in a student performance assessment rubric which includes the criteria, scores, and score descriptions. Product testing was carried out by performing the Kendall's concordance test by using the SPSS program (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) which mostly showed the Asymp.Sig <0.05 and can be interpreted that there is an agreement. This research concludes that the performance assessment rubric can be used to assess the 21st-century skills in STEM learning.

Summary
In the 21st century, technology is crucial for facing globalization era. it is necessary to introduce technology in elementary schools to encourage students to be ready to face the challenges of globalization in everyday life [10]. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) learning is one of the solutions to facing the challenges of the 21st century. Skills related to STEM are: math, science, critical thinking, active learning, complex problem solving, and technology design [4]. This is in line with the statement of Musa, Mufti, Latiff, & Amin [18] who suggest that "21st century skills require creativity, persistence, and problem solving combined with good teamwork". STEM education helps students in developing skills of the 21st century that have capacities for innovation and allows students in problem-solving and quantitative reasoning [17]
