Abstract: ABSTRACT Critical thinking is essential for Educational Administration students to examine educational issues, evaluate information, and make evidence-based decisions. Developing this competency requires learning activities that connect conceptual understanding with the analysis of real-world problems. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of case-based learning media assisted by Generative Artificial Intelligence (Generative AI) in improving the critical thinking skills of Educational Administration students. The study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The participants consisted of 50 students divided into an experimental group and a control group, with 25 students in each group. The experimental group used case-based learning media assisted by Generative AI, whereas the control group received instruction using regular learning media. Data were collected through critical thinking tests administered before and after the learning intervention and analyzed using descriptive statistics, assumption tests, and an independent samples t-test. Based on the simulation results, the experimental group achieved a mean posttest score of 77.97, while the control group obtained 65.82. The difference was statistically significant (t(48) = 4.331; p < 0.001), with a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 1.23). These simulation results indicate that integrating contextual cases with Generative AI has the potential to support the development of students’ critical thinking skills through problem analysis, information evaluation, and evidence-based recommendation formulation. ABSTRAK Kemampuan berpikir kritis diperlukan oleh mahasiswa Administrasi Pendidikan untuk menelaah persoalan pendidikan, mengevaluasi informasi, dan menentukan keputusan berdasarkan bukti. Pengembangan kompetensi tersebut membutuhkan pembelajaran yang menghubungkan pemahaman konseptual dengan analisis permasalahan nyata. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis efektivitas media pembelajaran berbasis kasus berbantuan Generative Artificial Intelligence (Generative AI) terhadap kemampuan berpikir kritis mahasiswa Administrasi Pendidikan. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode kuasi-eksperimen melalui desain Nonequivalent Control Group Design. Partisipan terdiri atas 50 mahasiswa yang dibagi menjadi kelompok eksperimen dan kontrol, masing-masing 25 orang. Kelompok eksperimen menggunakan media berbasis kasus berbantuan Generative AI, sedangkan kelompok kontrol mengikuti pembelajaran dengan media reguler. Data diperoleh melalui tes kemampuan berpikir kritis sebelum dan sesudah pembelajaran, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif, uji asumsi, dan independent samples t-test. Berdasarkan hasil simulasi, kelompok eksperimen memperoleh rata-rata posttest 77,97, sedangkan kelompok kontrol mencapai 65,82. Perbedaan tersebut signifikan secara statistik (t(48) = 4,331; p < 0,001), dengan ukuran efek Cohen’s d = 1,23. Hasil simulasi mengindikasikan bahwa integrasi kasus kontekstual dan Generative AI berpotensi mendukung pengembangan kemampuan berpikir kritis melalui kegiatan analisis, evaluasi informasi, dan perumusan rekomendasi berbasis bukti.
