THE EFFECT OF AUDITORY INTELLECTUALLY AND REPETITION LEARNING MODEL ON STUDENTS' CRITICAL THINKING ABILITIES IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS

Abstract

21st century learning emphasizes the development of critical thinking, creative, collaborative, and communication skills. The learning model applied at school greatly influences students' critical thinking skills. This study aims to determine the effect of the Auditory Intellectually Repitition (AIR) model in improving students' critical thinking skills in grade V mathematics subjects at SDN Poja 2, with 29 students as respondents. The method used in this research is experimental quantitative research method with one group pretest-posttest design. The result of this research shows that the percentage of AIR model implementation on learning outcome is 90% in very good category, while the effect of AIR model on critical thinking ability is 72% in good category. The result of t test shows t count is 11.68 and t table is 1.071 because t count is more than t table, then H1 is accepted and H0 is rejected.  In the implementation of AIR learning model, the teacher distributed pretest-posttest questions to determine the effectiveness of AIR model on students' critical thinking skills. Therefore, these result it shows that the AIR learning model has a significant effect on students' critical thinking skills
