Abstract

Critical thinking skills are an ability that must be possessed by students in the learning process. The process of learning mathematics is interrelated with the learning process of critical thinking in students because it trains students to solve problems that are included in the indicators of critical thinking skills. Many students are not interested in learning mathematics so that their critical thinking skills become low due to lack of problem solving. This study aims to determine the critical thinking skills of fourth grade elementary school students in mathematics. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method. Qualitative descriptive method is a research method carried out based on a qualitative approach that covers natural conditions and problems about a person's experience in the place under study. The instruments used in collecting research data are observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation studies. The subjects of this research were students of SD Muhammadiyah Sugio Lamongan. The focus of this research is the ability of critical thinking in grade IV students at SD Muhammadiyah Sugio Lamongan. The results of this study indicate that students' critical thinking skills in math subjects are still fairly low. This is because among the six indicators of critical thinking skills observed there are still many students who have not fulfilled these indicators.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the critical thinking skills of fourth grade students in the subject of Natural and Social Sciences (NSP) at SD Muhammadiyah 1 Ngimbang. The background of this study is the low critical thinking skills of students which is influenced by the use of media and learning methods that are still conventional and less interactive. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, and documentation studies. The results showed that the dominance of using textbooks as the main media causes learning to take place abstractly and monotonously, so that students become passive and have difficulty in understanding the material. Although the school has technology facilities, its utilization in learning is still minimal. The lack of contextual and interactive learning media causes low student concentration and has an impact on weak critical thinking skills and the application of knowledge in everyday life. This study recommends the use of more innovative learning media and teacher training in the utilization of technology to support critical thinking skills in accordance with the principles of Merdeka Curriculum.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the level of understanding of the concept of NSP of grade V students at SD Negeri Bedahan. Concept understanding is an important foundation in the development of critical thinking and problem solving skills, especially in learning Natural and Social Sciences (ESS) which contains various natural and social phenomena. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews and documentation studies. The research subjects consisted of the fifth grade homeroom teacher and 32 fifth grade students. The results showed that students' understanding of the concept of NSP was low. The main factors that influence this condition are the dominance of the lecture method which makes students passive, the use of learning media in the form of textbooks and videos, although learning facilities are adequate but the use of interactive learning media is still minimal. In addition, students tend to memorize concepts without understanding the deep meaning, and are embarrassed and afraid to ask questions when experiencing difficulties. This study recommends the need for the use of interactive learning methods and the utilization of digital interactive learning media to increase students' understanding of NSP concepts.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze students' critical thinking abilities in the Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) subjects at MI Muhammadiyah 18 Sumberrejo, Bojonegoro Regency. The background of the research is based on the low critical thinking skills of students, as seen from learning outcomes and learning processes that are still dominated by conventional methods. The study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach through data triangulation, including observations, interviews, and documentation studies of teachers and 53 fifth-grade students. The results of the study indicate that learning has not been student-centered, the use of media is less varied, and the use of technology is not yet optimal, so the five critical thinking indicators (focus, reasoning, inference, situation, and clarity) have not developed optimally. Documentation data also show that 75% of students scored below the Minimum Competency Criteria (KKM). These findings affirm the need for more interactive, contextual, and experiential IPAS learning innovations to enhance students' critical thinking skills. The research concludes that improving the quality of learning strategies is essential so that students can actively participate and develop higher-order thinking skills.
