This study aims to determine the application of What 's In Here game based on the Team Games Tournament (TGT) model to foster critical thinking skills of fourth grade students at Gabus 04 SDN Pati. This research is quantitative research. This study uses One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The population in this study were all fourth grade students at Gabus 04 Pati SDN totaling 31 students in the 2018/2019 school year. The instruments used are (1) Test. (2) Questionnaire, (3) Observation, and (3) Documentation. Data analysis using technical analysis of normality test data, hypothesis testing (t-test), and N-Gain Test. The normality test is used to find out whether the class is normally distributed or not. Hypothesis testing uses the t-test. The N- Gain test is used to calculate students' critical thinking abilities. The results of the research conducted can be concluded that the game What 's In Here can be applied to foster critical thinking skills of fourth grade students at Gabus SDN 04 Pati. This can be seen from the improvement of students' critical thinking skills. Besides that it is reinforced by the results of t-test calculations obtained by tcount for critical thinking skills of 7.232 and ttable of 1.694 because of tcount (7.232)> ttable (1.694), so this shows that the t test of critical thinking skills is significant. While the results of the observations carried out the highest aspects, namely the synthesizing skills of 78.2%.

This study aims to improve critical thinking skills and mathematics learning outcomes of fourth-grade students of SD Tingkir Tengah 02 Salatiga in the second semester of the 2018/2019 academic year. Critical thinking and learning outcomes are low because the teacher uses the lecture method. The author chooses the Open-Ended model assisted by powerpoint media as a solution. Research procedures include planning, action, observation, and reflection. The results showed an increase from the initial condition with 9 students or 25.71% completed and 29 students or 74.29% not complete. The implementation of the first cycle results obtained 29 students or 82.86% completed and 6 students or 17.14% did not complete. Cycle II as a follow-up and improvement of the first cycle with the acquisition of achieving attainment of 35 students or 100%. The results obtained by the conclusion of the application of Open-Ended learning assisted by powerpoint media can improve critical thinking skills and mathematics learning outcomes of fourth-grade students of SD Tingkir Tengah 02 Salatiga second semester of the 2018/2019 academic year.

The objective of this study was to explore the effect of using a differentiated instruction method on the achievement and development of critical thinking skills among sixth-grade students in Abha, Saudi Arabia. The study used the experimental method through the application of the instructional program on a sample of 50 students, who were chosen purposefully from one school in Abha city. The sample was divided into an experimental group (n = 25), which received instructions using differentiated instruction, and a control group (n = 25), which received instructions using conventional methods. Two tests were developed, an academic achievement test and a critical thinking test, to measure the performance of students before and after using the instructional program. Findings showed an improvement in the academic performance of the experimental group, which were taught using the instructional program based on differentiated instruction. Participants were able to increase their level of critical thinking skills in science. The study recommends using this instructional strategy in different school subjects other than science. The study also recommends training teachers on its implementation in classrooms.

Elementary students' critical thinking skills are one of the components developed in 21st Century learning. However, these critical thinking skills are still very shallow and far from expectations. It was proven by the results of international surveys that show low average scores. Likewise, the results of the pretest critical thinking skills of fifth-grade students in 2 elementary schools in Sukabumi Regency showed a low average value. This study aims to determine the increase in students' critical thinking skills in learning to read comprehension through the use of the FIVES Model and Guided Reading Model in the Industrial Revolution Era 4.0. The research method uses quasi-experimental with Static Group Pretest-Postest Design. The subject of the research was fifth-grade elementary school students. SDN 4 Cicurug implements the FIVES Model, and SDN 2 Purwasari implements the Guided Reading Model. The results showed that the use of these two models could improve the critical thinking skills of elementary students. However, the increase in students' critical thinking skills through the FIVES Model compared to the Guided Reading Model in reading comprehension in the Industrial Revolution Era 4.0.
