Kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa sekolah dasar pada pembelajaran IPS di SDN 101777 Sampali masih rendah, ditandai rendahnya orientasi pembelajaran terhadap berpikir tingkat tinggi dan dominasi buku teks sebagai sumber belajar. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui peningkatan kemampuan berpikir kritis IPS siswa kelas IV melalui penerapan model Problem Based Learning (PBL) berbasis Augmented Reality (AR) dibandingkan model Discovery Learning berbantuan PowerPoint. Subjek penelitian adalah 66 siswa kelas IV SDN 101777 Sampali, terdiri atas kelas IV A (32 siswa) sebagai kelas eksperimen dan kelas IV B (34 siswa) sebagai kelas kontrol, dipilih menggunakan purposive sampling. Penelitian dilaksanakan di SDN 101777 Sampali selama delapan pertemuan pada semester berjalan, diawali pretest, perlakuan enam pertemuan, dan posttest. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes uraian berbasis indikator Ennis dan dokumentasi, dianalisis menggunakan uji normalitas Shapiro-Wilk, homogenitas Levene, independent sample t-test, N-Gain, dan regresi linier sederhana. Hasil menunjukkan posttest kelas eksperimen sebesar 83,42 lebih tinggi daripada kelas kontrol sebesar 76,26 (Sig. 0,018), N-Gain sebesar 77,31% (efektif) berbanding 66,98% (cukup efektif), dan kontribusi model sebesar 54,7%. Disimpulkan PBL berbasis AR efektif meningkatkan berpikir kritis siswa, dan direkomendasikan sebagai alternatif model pembelajaran IPS di sekolah dasar.
