This research is focused on assessing the efficacy of the cooperative learning approach known as Think Pair Share (TPS) in enhancing the critical thinking abilities of 3rd-grade learners at MI Darut Tauhid within the framework of Pancasila Education. This quantitative study utilized a one-group pretest-posttest design, involving a total of 24 students from class 3E selected through a census method. The evaluation tools employed included tests for critical thinking skills (both pretest and posttest) and observation sheets. Data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test and the N-Gain test. The findings revealed a significant difference between the pretest and posttest results (p=0.004), confirming the effectiveness of the TPS model. Nevertheless, the N-Gain score of 0.217 categorized the effectiveness as low, suggesting that while some progress was made, the level of improvement was not yet optimal.
