This study aims to determine the effect of the application of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model on students critical thinking skills in the content of Civic Education grade IV SDN 30 Ampenan. The study uses the Quasy Experimental Design method Nonequivalent Control Group Design Type, which is a type of research that uses experimental and control groups. The research sample consisted of 60 students, 30 students of class IV-A as a control group and 30 students of class IV-B as an experimental class with a saturated sampling type non-probability sampling technique. The instruments used are multiple-choice test and essay test. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using the requirements test, namely the normality test and homogeneity test. In the hypothesis test with t-test, was used obtained tcount > ttabel or 2,221 > 1,671, and sig (2-tailed) values of 0,030 ≤ 0,05, then Ho was rejected and Ha was accepted, meaning that there was a significant influence on learning by using the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model on the Civic Education critical thinking ability of class IV SDN 30 Ampenan. The TPS learning model proves that changes in students' thinking abilities are getting better and in accordance with the learning achievements achieved by students.
