Abstract

Critical thinking skills are essential competencies that students who are prospective elementary school teachers must possess to face the challenges of the 21st century. This research aims to analyze the critical thinking ability profile of prospective elementary school teacher students on the concept of the human digestive system. The research method used was quantitative descriptive with 48 research subjects of the second semester of the PGSD Study Program. The data collection instrument was in the form of an essay test of 10 questions that included five indicators of critical thinking. The results showed that the average score of students' critical thinking ability was 23.19 (57.97%) which was included in the medium category. Based on the achievement of indicators, the highest percentage was achieved in the concluding indicator (66%), while the lowest percentage was found in the indicator of building basic skills (51%). This shows that although students are able to draw contextual conclusions, they are still weak in formulating in-depth scientific arguments.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low critical thinking skills of fourth grade elementary school students, such as difficulty analyzing problems, expressing logical opinions, and drawing conclusions. This is caused by an inappropriate learning model so that students are less active in solving problems. Efforts made are implementing a Problem Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by realia media so that students learn through real problems and concrete objects. This study aims to determine the effect of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by realia media on students' critical thinking skills, the effect of the Inquiry model assisted by YouTube video media on the control class, and the differences in critical thinking skills of the two classes. The method used is a quasi-experiment with the Matching-Only Pre-test-Post-test Control Group Design, involving 24 students of Neglasari State Elementary School and 22 students of Mekarsari State Elementary School. The results show an increase in average scores in both classes, with the post-test of the experimental class (42.58) higher than the control class (27.90). The significance value of 0.000 is smaller than 0.005 so that Ha is accepted and H0 is rejected. It can be concluded that there are differences in critical thinking skills between students who use the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model and those who use the Inquiry model assisted by YouTube video media. Keywords: Critical Thinking, Problem Based Learning (PBL) Model, Realia Media, Force.
