Abstract

Critical thinking skills are high-level thinking skills that must be developed in schools. These skills need to be trained through the use of learning models that bring students closer to real experiences in the surrounding environment, so that students become more active and able to think critically, one of which is applying the indigenous knowledge-based GDL model. This study aims to train students' critical thinking skills through the application of the indigenous knowledge-based GDL model. The subjects of this study were 108 students consisting of class XI IPA 4, XI IPA 5, and XI IPA 6 SMA Negeri 5 Samarinda for the academic year 2020/2021 which were selected using a purposive sampling technique.
