EFFECTIVENESS OF TALKING STICK MODEL WITH WORDWALL MEDIA TO IMPROVE ELEMENTARY STUDENTS’S MATHEMATIC CRITICAL THINKING
Abstract
Mathematical critical thinking skills are very important for elementary school students because they form the foundation for a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts, enabling them not only to memorize formulas but also to analyze problems, make logical connections, and find various solutions. This study was motivated by the observation that the lack of optimal learning models and media in elementary schools is associated with low mathematical critical thinking skills among students. One-way mathematics teaching methods, dominated by lectures and a lack of interactive media, were identified as the main obstacles to the development of students' critical mathematical reasoning skills. In fact, by using various learning models and media, critical thinking skills can be significantly improved. This study was designed to test the effectiveness of the Talking Stick learning model with Wordwall media support in developing the critical mathematical thinking skills of elementary school students. This study used a pre-experimental design, with second-grade students as the research subjects. The data were analyzed using the Paired t-test and N-Gain test to measure the improvement in students' abilities. The results are expected to prove that the use of this model can significantly improve these skills, offering an alternative solution to existing problems. This study concludes that the Talking Stick model supported by Wordwall media is quite effective in improving the mathematical critical thinking skills of students at SD 1 Padurenan.
