THE EFFECT OF THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM MODEL ON THE MATHEMATICAL CRITICAL THINKING ABILITY OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Abstract

This research study aims to determine the effect of the flipped classroom model on students' mathematical critical thinking skills. The research sample involved 35 grade 5 students of a public elementary school in Waai, Salahutu District, Central Maluku Regency. The research method uses a quasi-experimental and is analyzed using a paired sample test. The results of the analysis show that there is a positive influence from the flipped classroom learning model on students' mathematical critical thinking skills in the concept of fractionss. To find out the increase in critical thinking skills, N-gain is used. The findings showed that there was an increase, wherein the high category achieved an increase of 3.33%, the medium category was 93.34%, and the low category was 3.33%. The increase is because the flipped classroom model can create a dynamic and interactive mathematics learning environment with the help of learning videos, so students can think critically in exploring creative ideas to solve math problems
