This research deals with classroom action research aiming to enhance students' critical thinking in writing through the application of group investigation strategies assisted by digital storyboard media. The study was carried out in cycles following Kemmis’ cycle process. The subjects of this study were 33 grade X students of SMA Al-Hikmah Medan in 2019/2020 academic year. The data were collected by employing observation, field-note and writing test. After completing the study, the result shows that the implementation of group investigation strategy assisted by digital story board media significantly improved students’ critical thinking in writing. This is represented by the increase of students’ writing achievement, students’ learning activities and teacher’s performance in teaching. In the first cycle, the number of students passing the standard qualifying of writing set by the school was only 13 students (39.39 %) and improved substantially in cycle two reaching 26 students (78.79 %).

This research is a classroom action research (PTK) which aims to increase physical activity and learning outcomes of students of class VII SMPN 5 Jonggat in academic year 2015/2016 by applying the model-aided Discovery Learning with simple props. Classroom action research consists of four stages, that are planning, implementation, observation, and reflection, while the implementation of the model of Discovery Learning aided with simple props was done through six stages, that are stimulation, problem identification, datacollectingby using props simple, data processing, verification and conclusion. This research was done in two cycles. Based on the result of research that had been done, obtained theaverage score of student learning activities in first cycle in the first and second meeting were 8.8 in sufficient active category and 12 in the active category. The evaluation results in first cycle obtained average grade reaches 60 with classical completeness 73%. In second cycle,the average score of student learning activity in the first and second meeting were 16.6 and 18, with both of them are in the very active category. The average results of students in the second cycle increased to 68 and 85% of classical completeness. Based on the results of the research, it could be concluded that the application of the model-aided Discovery Learning with simple props can increase the activity and learning result of students of class VII SMPN 5 Jonggat in academic year 2015/2016.
