Abstract

Abstract: The research aimed to determine how the implementation of the Discovery Learning model could enhance critical thinking skills of students in Pancasila Education subjects in Class V of SDN Pisangcandi 2, Kota Malang. The study employed a Classroom Action Research method with 26 students, consisting of 11 females and 15 males. The research proceeded through four main stages: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The results showed that the application of the Discovery Learning model was effective in improving critical thinking skills. Prior to the cycle, the average achievement indicator was 60%, which increased to 75% in Cycle I and 88% in Cycle II. This underscores the importance of a responsive learning approach to accommodate the diversity of students in achieving the set learning objectives. Therefore, the implementation of the Discovery Learning model can be an effective strategy in enhancing critical thinking skills of students in Pancasila Education subjects.
