Analysis of Students' Critical Thinking Skills in Physics Problems

Abstract

This study aims to determine the proportion of students' level of critical thinking skills on the subject of Impulse and Momentum, any difficulties experienced by students to reach the level of critical thinking skills, and solutions to overcome the difficulties of students achieving critical thinking skills. This research uses descriptive qualitative research methods. The subjects of this study were 27 students taken by purposive sampling technique. Data collection techniques in this study are tests of critical thinking skills, interviews, and observation. Data analysis techniques using descriptive statistics. The results showed that each student's ability, high ability students 36.84%, medium ability 34.50%, low ability 22.80% divided into two categories of KBK 2 with a percentage of 52.63% and KBK 1 with a percentage of 23, 94%. From the results of the study also obtained the achievement of students every KBK indicator. Student achievement in the Interpretation indicator of 51.58% Analysis 18.75% Evaluation 13.87% Inference 31.48% Explication 14.19% and Self Regulation 26.85%. So KBK students as a whole are in the low category with a percentage of 31.38%. The cause of students 'difficulties in fulfilling CBC indicators is the limited ability of students to formulate and find other alternatives, the completion of students' answers is difficult to draw conclusions and connect substance between materials, and has not been studied in depth so students tend to be careless in solving problems. The solution that can be used is to provide more experience to students in terms of critical thinking skills and additional learning outside school hours.

The Effectiveness of Science E-Modules for Class VII Junior High Schools Based on Socioscientific Issues to Improve Students' Critical Thinking Skills

“…These findings indicate that students have not been able to evaluate well, where students are still not able to distinguish relevant and irrelevant information and have not been able to evaluate the statements given in the questions. This finding is in line with Ariani's (2020) finding that the evaluation indicator has the lowest achievement among other critical thinking skills indicators, which is only 13.87%, which indicates that students have a deficiency in determining the right strategy in solving problems. The solution to these problems is to familiarize students with working on questions evaluating social science problems or issues in classroom learning.…”

Teaching Critical Reading Through Online

“…Previous research stated that students need critical thinking skills (Ariani, 2020;Saprudin et al, 2019;Seibert, 2020). Other research findings also state that critical reading is needed by students so that students can understand the contents of the reading correctly (Akın et al, 2015;Reilly, 2021).…”

“…Proses pembelajaran scientific merupakan perpaduan antara proses pembelajaran yang semula terfokus pada eksplorasi, elaborasi, dan konfirmasi dilengkapi dengan mengamati, menanya, menalar, mencoba, dan mengkomunikasikan (Ariani, 2020;Diani, 2016;HS & S, 2021). Peran guru bukan lagi sebagai sumber belajar, namun hanya berperan sebagai fasilitator memberikan bantuan (scaffolding) ketika peserta didik mengalami kesulitan, serta guru bukan satu-satunya sumber belajar.…”
