Problem-Based Learning model in improving critical thinking ability of elementary school students

Abstract

So far, elementary schools have found problems with students' critical thinking skills, which could be improved by implementing thematic learning, so a learning model is needed to train students' critical thinking skills. The purpose of this study was to analyze whether there were differences in the level of effectiveness of the Problem-Based Learning model in improving critical thinking skills in thematic learning of students in grade IV SD/MI, namely SDN II Weringinanom Poncokusmo Malang, East Java, Indonesia. This type of research is Classroom Action Research using qualitative and quantitative approaches. The subjects used in the study were class IV teachers and 46 students. The results showed an increase from cycle I to cycle II. The implementation of the teacher cycle I was 80.73%, increasing to 91.76% in cycle II and 85.09%, increasing to 92.96% in cycle II on student implementation. Thus, the Problem-Based Learning model has improved integrated thematic learning in fourth-grade students at SD SDN II Weringinanom Poncokusmo Malang, East Java, Indonesia.

Organizational evaluation and human recourses behavior

“…It is undeniable that successful learning occurs in effective educational units. According to research, the teaching process that takes place inside the environment of the classroom has a significant impact on learning results and students critical thinking (Susilawati & Supriyatno, 2023). As a consequence, in order for a lesson to be effective, the following requirements must be met: a) All available time should be devoted to learning; b) incidence that disturb the smooth flow of the lesson should be avoided; and c) teaching time entirely and totally should be devoted to educational activities (Reynolds et al, 2015).…”

Keunggulan model PBL adalah pembelajaran dengan menggunakan manajemen kompetensi harus berkaitan pada siswa dan memberikan pembelajaran yang bermakna dan kontekstual serta pembelajaran dalam konteks pembelajaran (Susilawati & Supriyatno, 2023). Menurut Ati dkk., (2020) terbukti keefektifan pembelajaran problem based learning dalam menilai kemampuan berpikir kritis matematis siswa daripada pembelajaran problem solving.…”

Validation of the Physics E-Module Based on Problem Based Learning as Independent Teaching Material to Improve Critical Thinking Skills of Class XI High School Students

“…One model that is suitable to be applied to emodules that can improve critical thinking skills is the problem based learning model. Problem Based Learning (PBL) is learning that uses problems as a context for students to learn about critical thinking, problem solving skills, gaining important knowledge and concepts from subject matter (Susilawati & Supriyatno, 2023). According to Abed et al (2023) PBL is a process where students are given a problem or trigger in the form of a video, image, statement, or case, and allow them to work together to solve it.…”
