This study used the descriptive-correlational method. The tools used to collect data are Likert scales and documents. The sample used is a saturated sample, that is, the entire population is 83 fifth-grade elementary school students. The correlation technique used in this research is product moment correlation, with the t-count results being 3,446 for Indonesian language learning outcomes, 2,819 for social studies learning outcomes, and 8,971 for civics learning outcomes. The results of the correlation between critical thinking skills and Indonesian learning outcomes are 0.253, 0.303 for social studies learning outcomes, and 0.258 for civics learning outcomes.
