Abstract

Abstract

The problem in the mathematics learning process at SD Negeri Panjang 03 Ambarawa is that Critical Thinking and Collaborative skills are still low and have an impact on the students' learning outcomes that have not been satisfactory. Based on these problems it is necessary to conduct classroom action research conducted in two cycles, each cycle consists of five stages: planning, action implementation, observation, evaluation, and reflection. The purpose of this research is to improve Critical Thinking and Collaborative skill through application of Group Investigation model assisted Magic Ball media. The data collection instrument used questionnaires to measure Critical Thinking and Collaborative and observation sheets to obtain data on learning activities. Data analysis techniques using quantitative and comparative descriptive techniques. The results showed that the improvement of Critical Thinking and Collaborative skills was evident from the increase in total score of learners per cycle.
