PENERAPAN MODEL TEAM QUIZ DALAM PENINGKATAN KEMAMPUAN BERPIKIR KRITIS DI KELAS V MATA PELAJARAN PENDIDIKAN PANCASILA SDN 76 SUNGAI BULUH

Abstract

This study aims to describe the assessment practices and efforts to develop students' critical thinking skills at SDN 76/1 Sungai Buluh. Based on an interview with the fifth-grade homeroom teacher, it was revealed that critical thinking is assessed through the observation of students’ responses during classroom activities, without the use of specific tasks or assessment instruments. The teacher believes that critical thinking can be nurtured through various learning activities, including discussions and problem-solving. Despite noticeable differences in the development of critical thinking between active and passive students, the teacher provides individualized support and positive feedback to assist those who struggle. The observed indicators of critical thinking include the ability to analyze, evaluate, and interpret information. As an alternative learning strategy, the Team Quiz model is introduced as a collaborative approach that promotes active student involvement in constructing and answering inter-group quizzes. This model is considered to be a promising method for increasing student engagement and enhancing critical thinking skills in elementary education.
