Influence of Problem-Based Learning with Mind Mapping on Elementary Students' Critical Thinking

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of a problem-based learning model integrated with mind mapping on critical thinking skills and learning outcomes of elementary school students. The quasi-experimental design study used a nonequivalent control group design. The population of this study was class V SDI BTN IKIP I Makassar, totaling 65 students, with a sample selection technique using a nonprobability sampling technique in the form of saturated sampling. Data collection techniques used were tests and observations. Data analysis techniques used were descriptive statistical analysis and inferential statistical analysis with the help of SPSS version 25.0. The results of data analysis using the multivariate test showed that the significance value of the problem-based learning model integrated with mind mapping on critical thinking skills and science learning outcomes was 0.001 <0.05, which means that H1 was accepted and Ho was rejected. So it can be concluded that there is an effect of the problem-based learning model integrated with mind mapping on critical thinking skills and science learning outcomes of class V students of SDI BTN IKIP I Makassar.
