The aim of this study was to find out how the use of simulation Physics Education Technology, or PhET, on students' critical thinking skills in science learning in elementary school impacts their abilities. A systematic literature review (SLR) is used, which includes the collection and analysis of scientific articles from a variety of sources. Of the 100 articles found, only 12 met the criteria for in-depth analysis after further review. The results of the study show that the PhET is able to enhance student-centered learning and help them understand abstract concepts through interactive visualization. Additionally, it has proven to be effective when used in conjunction with active learning models such as research-based learning and problem-oriented learning.
