Problem based learning is a learning method that characterized by real problem that must be solved which triggers the learners to think critically to find a new knowledge. In accordance with this point, this study is aimed to identify the difference of critical thinking among the students through the application of quizizz in the experimental class with problem based learning model and students with interactive learning model. This study is also aimed to investigate the effect of problem based learning on the improvement of student critical thinking ability. The utilization of quizizz application to scrutinize the critical thinking ability of the students is toadapt the 4.0 education development where the students must be common with the use of technology for learning process. The method was quasi experiment with nonequivalent controlled group design. Based on the T Test to investigate the critical thinking of the students, it is known that tount score = 0.85 with a = 0.05. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of the problem based learning model is more effective in increasing students' critical thinking skills when compared to the interactive learning model. The N-gain test revealed that tcount score = 4.90 with a = 0.05, it can be concluded that there was an improvement on the student critical thinking in the application of Quizizz.
