Students’ low mathematical critical thinking skills, as shown by the 2022 PISA results and studies, suggest that traditional teaching methods may inadequately develop these abilities. This study examines the effectiveness of combining Kahoot technology with the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) cooperative model to enhance these skills. Using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design, fifth-grade students in Madiun City were divided into experimental and control groups. Data were analyzed via General Linear Models (GLM) and MANOVA. Results indicate a significant difference between groups (p=0.011), with the intervention explaining 17.4% of variance in improvement (Partial Eta Squared=0.174). This study provides novel evidence that a Kahoot-based TGT model effectively improves mathematical critical thinking in elementary students—an underexplored area in primary education.
