PENGARUH MEDIA SOLAR SYSTEM SNAKES AND LADDERS (S3&L) TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN BERPIKIR KRITIS SISWA PADA PEMBELAJARAN IPA SEKOLAH DASAR

This research aims to determine the effect of a snakes and ladders media called Media Solar System Snakes and Ladders (S3&L) on students' critical thinking abilities in science learning in elementary schools. The media influence referred to in this research is to provide proof that the Solar System Snakes and Ladders (S3&L) media has an influence on students' critical thinking abilities in class VI, especially in science learning with material about the Solar System. This research is quantitative research with a quasi-experimental method that uses saturated sampling data collection techniques. This research was conducted at two schools in Cirebon City, namely SDN Penggunng 1 and SDN Kesambi Dalam, the number of samples taken was 90 populations.
