The results of this study were following the results of the development feasibility test to get results > 86, so it can be categorized as very good. In the t-test value, the value of Sig. (2-tailed) of 0.000 <0.05, so as the basis for decision making in the independent sample t-test, it can be concluded that H0 was rejected and H1 was accepted. Thus, it is concluded that the implementation of PBL-based LKPD is effectively used to improve students' critical thinking skills.
