Pretest and posttest instruments were used to measure students' critical thinking skills, then will be analyzed. The results showed that the improvement of critical thinking skills of experimental group students was significantly higher than the control group. This proves that inquiry learning model is effective for developing critical thinking skills of elementary school students.
