21st century skills have become a challenge to survive in facing global competition, especially in education. Critical thinking is one of the main 21st-century skills or abilities that must continue to be developed. Critical thinking is a vital topic in modern education. This ability is used in many aspects of human life. This ability is rarely learned even though it is part of science. In education, developing critical thinking ability can be facilitated by applying a constructive learning model. The 7E Learning Cycle Model is one of the constructive learning models. In addition, the pandemic has resulted in learning being carried out online. One of the media that teachers can use is Google Classroom (GCR). This paper describes the potency of the 7E Learning Cycle Model integrated with GCR for improving critical thinking. This paper uses a descriptive method with systematic literature review, we found that the 7E learning cycle model was able to improve student critical thinking ability. In addition, we also found that using Google Classroom GCR) can facilitate critical thinking because it allows students to discuss in the media. The relationships found among the variables in the pathway model are discussed taking into account the environmental characteristics of the 7E learning cycle and suggestions are made for further research.
