Abstract

Penelitian ini mengkaji pengaruh model pembelajaran berbasis proyek (Project-Based Learning) berbantuan media puzzle terhadap kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa Sekolah Dasar di Kecamatan Rantebua. Kemampuan berpikir kritis sangat penting dalam menghadapi tantangan dunia modern, namun seringkali terabaikan dalam sistem pendidikan yang cenderung mengedepankan metode pengajaran konvensional. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode quasi-eksperimen, melibatkan siswa kelas IV sebagai sampel. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes kemampuan berpikir kritis dan observasi, serta dianalisis menggunakan uji statistik deskriptif dan inferensial. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan model pembelajaran berbasis proyek berbantuan media puzzle secara signifikan meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa dibandingkan dengan metode pembelajaran konvensional. Peningkatan ini terlihat dari hasil observasi dan tes kemampuan berpikir kritis, di mana siswa dalam kelas eksperimen menunjukkan perkembangan yang konsisten dalam keterampilan berpikir kritis. Penggunaan media puzzle dalam pembelajaran juga terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan keterlibatan siswa, mendorong berpikir kreatif, dan memperkuat keterampilan pemecahan masalah. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa model pembelajaran berbasis proyek berbantuan media puzzle dapat menjadi strategi yang efektif untuk mengembangkan kemampuan berpikir kritis di kalangan siswa, serta memberikan kontribusi yang berarti dalam meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran di sekolah dasar.

This study examines the effect of project-based learning model assisted by puzzle media on critical thinking skills of elementary school students in Rantebua District. Critical thinking skills are essential in facing the challenges of the modern world, but are often neglected in an education system that tends to prioritize conventional teaching methods. This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method, involving fourth grade students as samples. Data were collected through critical thinking skills tests and observations, and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tests. The results showed that the application of project-based learning model assisted by puzzle media significantly improved students' critical thinking skills compared to conventional learning methods. This improvement can be seen from the results of observations and critical thinking skills tests, where students in the experimental class showed consistent development in critical thinking skills. The use of puzzle media in learning also proved effective in increasing student engagement, encouraging creative thinking, and strengthening problem-solving skills. This study concludes that the puzzle media-assisted project-based learning model can be an effective strategy for developing critical thinking skills among students, as well as making a meaningful contribution in improving the quality of learning in elementary schools.
