Abstract

Critical thinking is one of the skills that must be possessed by the millennial generation in Indonesia to be used as capital in competing in the increasingly tight global arena. Because students' critical thinking skills are important, an educator must be able to create a learning atmosphere that is fun, interesting, and stimulates students to follow learning so that they can apply it in everyday life. The purpose of this study was to improve the critical thinking skills of grade IV students of SDN 5 Tolitoli. The research method is Classroom Action Research (CAR), using the Suharsimi Arikunto model. The Research Action was carried out in two cycles. The research data acquisition technique was in the form of tests, observations, and documentation. The test used was a descriptive test of 10 questions. The results of the study showed that the initial data obtained from students' understanding of energy material and its changes in cycle I were 13 students in the "Very critical" category, 15 students in the "Critical" category and 7 students in the "Not Critical" category. In cycle II there was an increase in the "Very Critical" category, namely 35 students and in the "Critical" category 0 and in the "Not Critical" category 0. From these data, information was obtained that the implementation of the Discovery learning model can improve students' critical thinking skills.
