This study aims to describe the implementation of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model in improving the critical thinking skills of grade VI students of SD Negeri Sukowiryo 01, as well as identifying its supporting and inhibiting factors. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that the application of PBL is able to improve students' critical thinking skills which is characterized by increasing the ability to identify problems, analyze information, express opinions, and draw logical conclusions. In addition, students become more active and involved in the learning process. Supporting factors include the role of the teacher as a facilitator, the use of contextual problems, group cooperation, and the availability of learning resources. The inhibiting factors include differences in student abilities, time limitations, and low confidence of some students. Thus, PBL is effectively used to develop the critical thinking skills of elementary school students.
