Since 2020, the whole world has been affected by Covid 19. The impact of the Covid 19 pandemic is not only on the social sector but also on the education sector. So that education must continue to be carried out using distance learning or online. However, changes in the learning process also affect the teaching and learning conditions of students and teachers. Therefore, it is necessary to apply an appropriate learning model. One of them uses the SSCS learning model. SSCS is a learning model that can improve critical thinking skills. The SSCS model has four stages: search, problem-solving (solve), create, and share. At the search stage, students are taught to understand the problem. Next, students make a plan to solve the problem. In the next step, students build a solution from the problem-solving strategy that has been arranged in the previous stage. Finally, the solutions that have been constructed are disseminated and evaluated for continuous improvement. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive description of the development of the SSCS model, especially in physics learning that has been carried out to improve critical thinking skills. It was concluded that distance and direct knowledge using the SSCS learning model experienced an increase in abilities and scores of around 40% - 50%.
