Abstract


Thinking critically is one of the essential skills to master when entering the Era of Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0. This ability can be optimally developed through contextual learning. The observations found that students’ critical thinking skills were low, and the implementation of learning tended to be textual. This study investigates the effect of integrating culturally responsive teaching and brain-based learning approaches on critical thinking skills in different learning styles in elementary schools. This study used a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design. The target population is grade 5 elementary school students selected through purposive sampling. The results found that integrating a culturally responsive teaching approach with brain-based learning significantly improved the critical thinking skills of elementary school students for all different learning style groups.

Keywords: Critical Thinking, Culturally Responsive Teaching, Brain-Based Learning, Learning Style, Elementary School.
