Abstract
In the era of industry 4.0, students are faced with the complexity of a changing world and the demand to develop relevant skills, one of which is critical thinking and collaboration skills. However, educators face difficulties in developing and integrating these skills into learning practices. This study aims to investigate the difficulties of teachers in developing critical thinking and collaborative skills in science learning. The research method used is a case study. Data collection was conducted at SD Aisyiah Surya Ceria, Karanganyar, Central Java through interviews with thematic teachers of grade III, students, and vice principals of curriculum. The results of the study indicate that the difficulties experienced by teachers in developing critical thinking and collaboration skills are related to student conditions, namely student thinking skills and learning characteristics. While the supporting factors are school policies, facilities, innovative learning models and mastery of information technology for the learning process.
Keywords: critical thinking skills, collaboration, science learning.
