        abstract = {This study aims to: (1) examine the effectiveness of the Wordwall-assisted
Discovery Learning model in improving students? critical thinking skills in science
at the elementary school level, and (2) examine the effectiveness of the Wordwallassisted
Discovery Learning model in improving students? learning independence
in science at the elementary school level.
This study employed a quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent
control group design. The population consisted of all fifth-grade students at SDN
Adisucipto I. The sample included Grade V A as the control group and Grade V B
as the experimental group, selected through cluster random sampling. Data on
critical thinking skills were collected using essay tests, while data on learning
independence were obtained through questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted
using tests of normality and homogeneity, paired sample t-tests, independent
sample t-tests, and N-Gain analysis.
The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the Discovery
Learning model assisted by Wordwall significantly improves students? critical
thinking skills and learning independence. The improvement in critical thinking
skills is evidenced by the results of the paired sample t-test, which yielded a
significance value of Sig. = 0.000 ({\ensuremath{<}} 0.05), and is further supported by the results
of the independent sample t-test, which revealed a significant difference in posttest
mean scores between the experimental and control groups (t = 4.004; Sig. = 0.000
{\ensuremath{<}} 0.05) with a mean difference of 10.141. The N-Gain analysis of critical thinking
skills resulted in a value of 0.6277 (62.77\%), which falls into the moderate category.
The improvement in students? learning independence also showed significant
results based on the paired sample t-test and the independent sample t-test (Sig. =
0.000 {\ensuremath{<}} 0.05) with a mean difference of 8.262. The N-Gain analysis of learning
independence yielded a value of 0.6063 (60.63\%), which is categorized as
moderate. Therefore, the Discovery Learning model assisted by Wordwall is
effective in improving students? critical thinking skills and learning independence
in science learning at the elementary school level.}
