Abstract
The optimal learning process is able to facilitate learning activities that are in harmony with the workings of the brain. In order for the learning process to take place optimally it is necessary to prepare adequate learning materials; one example is what is known as Brain-Based Learning teaching materials. This study is intended to analyze the effect of Brain-Based Learning teaching materials on critical thinking skills and students' scientific literacy abilities. The analysis was carried out using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, which examined the results of research on the effect of brain-based learning in learning science (biology, physics, and chemistry). Data on critical thinking and scientific literacy were obtained from various journals from the Google Scholar page. The analysis shows that brain-based learning has a positive influence on critical thinking skills and the ability of scientific literacy in the medium category. This article describes the results of a detailed analysis of the relationship between brain-based learning teaching materials and critical thinking skills and students' scientific literacy.
