This study aims to improve critical thinking skills and learning outcomes of fifth grade students at SDN 51 Kuranji Padang City using the Problem Based Learning model assisted by Powtoon media. This type of research is classroom action research. The subjects of this study were all 17 students in class V at SDN 51 Kuranji, Padang City. The research data is in the form of information about the results of the action obtained through observing the teacher's teaching activities, students' critical thinking skills and the final test of learning.
