The existence of a learning model can be an alternative to create success in learning. This study aims to determine the effect of the think, talk, write learning model on the cognitive abilities of students in social studies learning. The think, talk, write learning model is a strategy which aims to encourage students to be able to think, speak, and write down the results of their ideas in the thinking stages they have passed. The research method used in this study was a quasi-experimental quantitative study with a non-equivalent control group design. Samples were taken using a purposive cluster sampling technique. In this case the researcher took a sample of 60 respondents. The population in this study were all class VIII students at SMP Negeri 44 Surabaya for the 2022/2023 academic year, namely 237 students.
