Abstract

The low level of critical thinking skills among elementary school students remains a major issue in Civic Education (PKN) learning, particularly due to the dominance of conventional teaching approaches that limit active student engagement. In addition, the use of interactive digital media has not been optimally integrated to support higher-order cognitive processes. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Discovery Learning-based PKN instruction assisted by Kahoot in enhancing fifth-grade students’ critical thinking skills. This research employed a pre-experimental design using a One Shot Case Study model. The subjects consisted of 28 fifth-grade students. Data were collected through a critical thinking skills test developed based on established critical thinking indicators. The data were analyzed descriptively using SPSS to obtain the mean score, standard deviation, and the distribution of achievement across indicators. The findings indicate that Discovery Learning integrated with Kahoot promotes active student engagement and facilitates analytical reasoning, inference, and systematic decision-making processes. Conceptually, students’ critical thinking skills were categorized at a high level, with the indicator of providing simple explanations showing the strongest performance, while the strategy and tactics indicator still requires further improvement. The study concludes that the integration of active learning models and interactive digital media has positive implications for developing students’ critical thinking skills. These findings suggest that such instructional approaches are highly relevant for 21st-century Civic Education learning.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low internalization of students’ character values in Civics Education (PKN), which has predominantly focused on cognitive aspects while giving limited attention to the affective and psychomotor domains. Therefore, this research aimed to analyze the effectiveness of implementing the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model in enhancing character values embedded in Pancasila among fifth-grade elementary school students. This study employed a quantitative method using a One-Shot Case Study approach, involving all 32 fifth-grade students as the research subjects. The instrument used was a closed-ended questionnaire consisting of 25 statement items representing five indicators of Pancasila values: mutual cooperation, tolerance, responsibility, deliberation for consensus, and social justice. The data were analyzed descriptively using SPSS version 26. The results revealed that the overall average score of students’ character values reached 86.2, which falls into the very high category, with the highest score in responsibility (89.1) and the lowest in tolerance (83.7). These findings indicate that the PBL model effectively promotes active engagement, critical thinking, and the strengthening of social values within the learning process. Thus, PBL is a relevant and effective approach in Civics Education for instilling Pancasila-based character values from an early age at the elementary school level.
