<![CDATA[Primary school education plays an important role in developing students' critical thinking skills, which are essential for understanding lessons and dealing with everyday situations. Challenges arise from teaching methods that are less supportive of critical thinking skills, where students often memorise without deep understanding. The application of guided inquiry learning model offers an effective solution. By encouraging students to question, explore and find answers on their own, this model creates an interactive learning environment and enhances critical thinking skills. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of guided inquiry in improving critical thinking skills of grade IV students of SDI Lasiana. This study also aims to improve students' critical thinking skills in Pancasila Education class IV SDI Lasiana through the application of guided inquiry learning model.
