Critical thinking is one of the 21st-century competencies that needs to be developed from the elementary school level. However, the results of observations in Grade IV at SDN Cinanggerang II indicated that students' critical thinking skills in the Science and Social Studies (IPAS) subject were still relatively low. This study aimed to analyze the effect of the Discovery Learning model assisted by animated videos on students' critical thinking skills in the topic Me and My Needs. This research employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental method with a One-Group Pretest–Posttest Design. The research sample consisted of 12 fourth-grade students selected using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through test and non-test techniques. The research instruments included a critical thinking skills test consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions and an observation sheet to assess the implementation of the learning model. The results showed that the average pretest score of 41 increased to 70 in the posttest. The paired sample t-test yielded a significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.001 (< 0.05), indicating that H₀ was rejected and H₁ was accepted. The observation results showed that the implementation of the learning model reached 100%, which was categorized as excellent. Therefore, the Discovery Learning model assisted by animated videos had a significant effect on students' critical thinking skills in the IPAS subject. The findings imply that the Discovery Learning model assisted by animated videos can serve as an effective alternative instructional approach to improve elementary school students' critical thinking skills.
