Utilizing a project-based learning model for critical thinking is based on a constructivism philosophy so as to enable students to broaden their knowledge in improving their critical thinking skills through real-world experiences. One of the current innovations in the field of education in response to technological advances is the introduction of e-learning-based learning materials which are considered effective and interesting, especially when the assessment results are already available for taking exams. The quizizz platform is a game-style application that helps educators create materials and assessments during classroom learning. The problems explored in this research use the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model based on local wisdom by using Quizizz to increase the critical thinking power of students at Musamus University (Unmus), Merauke. This study uses two classes. This means that class A is treated as an experimental class and is given a project learning model (PjBL) based on local wisdom by utilizing the Quizizz platform, and class B is treated as a control class which is treated with a direct learning model. The population of this study were all 235 first semester students of the Indonesian Language and Literature Study Program at Musamus University, which consisted of 9 classes. This type of research is quasi-experimental and uses a non-equivalent design with the experimental and control groups. Sampling was carried out by probabilistic random sampling. Data collection techniques were carried out by pretest and posttest. This technique is used to determine students' initial abilities before and after treatment. The data analysis technique used is descriptive analysis, which is calculated based on the average of each group. The analysis hypothesis test used the normality and homogeneity tests of the data, while the hypothesis test was carried out by one party t test. The results of this study indicate that the learning process in the experimental class has a greater impact on improving students' critical thinking skills compared to using the direct learning model in the control class.
