Abstract

Critical thinking skills are essential for elementary students' academic success and twenty-first-century workforce preparation. However, many Indonesian elementary schools still employ teacher-centered approaches that limit students' active engagement and critical thinking development. This study aimed to determine the effect of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model on critical thinking skills of fourth-grade students at SDN Sumber Agung. A quasi-experimental design with Nonequivalent Control Group Design was employed, involving 56 fourth-grade students selected through simple random sampling. The experimental group (n=28) received CTL instruction, while the control group (n=28) was taught using conventional teacher-centered methods. Critical thinking skills were assessed using a validated 15-item multiple-choice test based on six indicators: focus, reason, inference, situation, clarify, and overview. The instrument demonstrated good reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.756). Data were analyzed using Independent Sample T-Test after verifying normality and homogeneity assumptions. N-Gain analysis was conducted to determine practical effectiveness. The Independent Sample T-Test revealed significant differences between groups (t = 3.752, p < 0.001), with the experimental group achieving higher posttest scores (M = 81.92) compared to the control group (M = 69.81). N-Gain analysis showed the experimental group attained moderately effective improvement (63.11%) while the control group showed ineffective gains (32.23%). The CTL model significantly enhances students' critical thinking skills compared to conventional teaching methods. These findings validate constructivist learning theory and provide empirical evidence for implementing contextualized approaches in Indonesian elementary education to develop essential critical thinking capabilities.

Abstract

The study used an experimental method with a quantitative approach. This study has variables (X) namely learning styles, attitudes, and interests and variables (Y) namely learning outcomes in mathematics subjects. This study used a population of all students in the elementary school and one class, namely the experimental class, which was sampled using Purposive Sampling technique. The design used in the one group design, the research subjects were given pre-test and post-test treatment. The data collection technique in this study was a test. And test the instrument by carrying out the validity test and reliability test. The data analysis techniques in this study are using normality, homogeneity, and hypothesis testing. The results of the F test hypothesis test show that if the sig value <0 and F table, then there is a relationship between variable X and variable Y. If the sig value is greater than 0.05 or F count is greater than F table, then there is no impact of variable X on variable Y. In the F test with a value of 19.131 which is greater than 3.89, we can conclude that the relationship between variable X and variable Y together has an important impact. In addition, with a (sig) value of 0.001 which is smaller than 0.05, we can conclude that there is a significant effect of variable X on variable Y simultaneously. Thus, Ha is accepted while Ho is rejected. It can be concluded "there is an influence of learning styles, attitudes, and interests on learning outcomes in mathematics subjects in elementary schools".

Abstract

Education is the process of imparting knowledge, character development, and producing a more harmonious social order and way of life, including through the development of students' intellectual capital, skills, and intellectual development. One of the innovations brought by the introduction of the 2013 curriculum is the integrative theme learning model. To provide meaningful educational experiences to students, integrative thematic learning connects various disciplines and materials through themes. The 2013 curriculum states that in order to place students as the center of the learning process, teachers must play an active role as facilitators and motivators of learning. This article aims to explain how the 2013 curriculum is applied to integrative thematic learning, and its impact on the teaching and learning process in elementary schools. The implementation of the curriculum in integrative thematic learning shows several challenges, such as difficulties in determining assessment or evaluation criteria for students, teachers' lack of understanding in compiling thematic integrative lesson plans, limited teaching aids, and the use of traditional learning methods that are less varied. The proposed solution is training and education for teachers, principals, and supervisors to acquire skills and knowledge in implementing the curriculum according to students' needs. By implementing a variety of learning methods, it is hoped that it can increase student motivation and independence in the learning process.
