Latar belakang penelitian ini didasari oleh rendahnya kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa dalam pembelajaran fisika yang masih didominasi oleh metode ceramah dan minimnya penggunaan media pembelajaran berbasis teknologi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh model pembelajaran Problem Based Learning (PBL) berbantuan Canva terhadap kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode Quasi Eksperimen berbentuk Nonequivalent Control Group Pretest-Posttest Design. Populasi penelitian adalah seluruh siswa kelas XI MAN 4 Aceh Besar, dengan teknik pengambilan sampel purposive sampling yang terdiri dari dua kelas, yaitu XI-3 MIA sebagai kelas eksperimen dan XI-2 MIA sebagai kelas kontrol. Instrumen penelitian berupa tes uraian kemampuan berpikir kritis berdasarkan lima indikator menurut Ennis, yang meliputi memberikan penjelasan sederhana, membangun keterampilan dasar, menyimpulkan, memberikan penjelasan lanjut, serta mengatur strategi dan taktik. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan uji independent sample t-test setelah memenuhi uji prasyarat normalitas dan homogenitas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai nilai t_hitung (14,155) lebih besar dari t_tabel (2,000) , yang berarti terdapat perbedaan signifikan antara kelas eksperimen dan kelas kontrol. Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa penerapan model pembelajaran Problem Based Learning berbantuan Canva berpengaruh signifikan dalam meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa pada pembelajaran fisika.

Risna Anisa. (2025). Problem Based Learning (PBL) Assisted by Canva in Enhancing Students’ Critical Thinking Skills. Undergraduate Thesis. Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Universitas Syiah Kuala. Supervised by Drs. Ngadimin, M.Si and Drs. Ahmad Farhan, M.Si. The background of this research is based on the low level of students’ critical thinking skills in physics learning, which is still dominated by lecture-based methods and the lack of utilization of technology-based learning media. This study aims to determine the effect of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by Canva on students’ critical thinking skills. The research employed a quantitative approach with a Quasi-Experimental method using the Nonequivalent Control Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The population of this research consisted of all grade XI students at MAN 4 Aceh Besar, with samples selected through a purposive sampling technique consisting of two classes: XI-3 MIA as the experimental class and XI-2 MIA as the control class. The research instrument was a written test measuring students’ critical thinking skills based on five indicators proposed by Ennis, namely providing simple explanations, building basic skills, drawing conclusions, providing further explanations, and setting strategies and tactics. Data were analyzed using the independent sample t-test after fulfilling the normality and homogeneity assumptions. The results showed that the t_hitung value (14,155) was greater than the t_tabel value (2,000), indicating a significant difference between the experimental and control classes. Therefore, it can be concluded that the application of the Problem Based Learning model assisted by Canva has a significant effect on improving students’ critical thinking skills in physics learning.
