Students' critical thinking skills in tajweed learning were still low, particularly in providing reasons, supporting answers with relevant principles, and drawing conclusions. This study aimed to improve the critical thinking skills of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 4 Temanggung through the brainstorming method. The study employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model and was conducted in two cycles, with two meetings in each cycle, involving 30 students. Data were collected through observations using a critical thinking rubric and cognitive assessments based on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) at the C4 level. The results showed an improvement in students' critical thinking skills. Based on the observation data, the proportion of students achieving at least the Good category increased from 50.0% at the end of Cycle I to 93.3% at the end of Cycle II. The cognitive assessment also showed an increase from 63.3% to 93.3%. At the end of Cycle II, the proportion of students in the Poor category reached 0% in both data sources. Therefore, the brainstorming method improved students' critical thinking skills in tajweed learning through activities involving idea generation, comparison and evaluation of arguments, and conclusion drawing based on tajweed principles.
