This study aims to determine the effect of using lapbooks on students' critical thinking skills at the Kepong Learning Center in Malaysia. The method used in this study was a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest. The population in this study were sixth-grade students at the Kepong Learning Center. The sampling technique used total sampling, resulting in a sample of six students. The instrument used was a 10-item essay test designed based on indicators of students' critical thinking skills. Data analysis used a paired sample t-test. The findings of this study indicate that the use of lapbooks can improve students' critical thinking skills, as evidenced by higher posttest scores compared to pretest scores (83.33 > 52.5). Furthermore, the results of the hypothesis test showed that the calculated t-value (13.104) was greater than the t-table (2.200) and the significance value was 0.000 < 0.05. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of lapbooks significantly influences students' critical thinking skills at the Kepong Learning Center in Malaysia.
