Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of the application of a scientific approach on the development of students' critical thinking skills in civics learning. Creating a conducive learning environment is very important in implementing the scientific approach in Pancasila and Citizenship Education (PPKn) in elementary schools. This is important to motivate students to gain knowledge from various sources through observation, discussion, and experimentation. The scientific approach is also called the scientific approach which means the basic concept that inspires or underlies the formulation of teaching methods by applying scientific characteristics. The scientific approach is part of the pedagogical approach to the implementation of classroom learning that underlies the application of scientific methods. The subjects of the study were elementary school students. The data collection for this study used a literature study method (library research) whose literature review aims to strengthen the analysis of various sources used. The data collection for this study was carried out by tracing articles found in reputable online journals using Google Scholar and documentation in the library. The results of the study showed that a scientific approach can stimulate students to actively observe, ask questions, gather information, analyze, and conclude. Students' critical thinking skills also experienced a significant increase, such as the ability to solve problems, make decisions, and evaluate information.
