Abstract :

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the PQ4R-based module to improve students’ critical thinking in elementary schools.This study uses a qualitative approach. This researchusing the One Group Pretest-Postest Design which is a form of the Pre-Experimental research method. This design uses one group. The population in the study were all students at SD Negeri Berundung. The sampling technique was using purposive sampling and the subjects of this study were students in class IV A at SD Negeri Berundung. Data collection was carried out using observation, interviews and tests. The results of the paired sample t-test were (Sig 0.01 <0.05) which means that there is a difference in the average student learning outcomes between pretest and posttest. The amount of increase using n-gain is 0.513 in the moderate category. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that learning using PQ4R-based modules is effective for increasing students’ critical thinking.
