Model Pembelajaran Problem Posing dalam Meningkatkan Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis Siswa Madrasah

The phenomenon of mathematics learning in elementary schools shows a tendency for students to be less motivated and students' low ability to solve math problems. This study aims to determine the use of problem posing-based learning models in mathematics subjects theme 5 sub theme 2 material My Experience in School. This research approach is descriptive qualitative that describes the learning atmosphere in the classroom by using creative methods to train students' critical thinking skills. The subjects of the study were all grade 2 students in the even semester of the 2024/2025 school year at MI Hidayatus Shibyan Jatiklabang. The results showed that teachers at MI Hidayatus Shibyan did not only use conventional methods in the learning process. Through the application of creative learning methods such as problem posing in mathematics subjects sub-theme 2 grade 2 students are trained to think critically.
