Methods classroom action research was conducted by researchers with three cycles so as to improve student learning outcomes and teacher performance.The results showed that: (1) The application of the questioning strategy changed the process and results of social studies learning from the condition of students who had low interest in learning; (2) The strategy of asking questions with the help of audio-visual media applies various types of questions so that the number and types of low-level and high-level questions can be balanced; (3) teachers have been able to carry out learning with good questioning strategies, so as to improve critical thinking skills and student learning outcomes. It is hoped that the questioning strategy can be an alternative in learning to improve critical thinking skills.
