Analysis of Students' Critical Thinking Skills on Solid Material Elasticity

Abstract

The research aims to analyze students' critical thinking skills (CTS). This type of research is descriptive qualitative. The research subjects consisted of 31 students of Class XI MIPA in one of the high schools in the city of Banjarmasin. The instrument is in the form of 6 CTS test items that measure 2 sub-indicators, namely drawing conclusions from the results of investigating and evaluating (formulating alternative solutions). Descriptive data analysis by describing CTS on the two sub-indicators. The results showed that the CTS of students at this time were still in the low category, which was marked from the percentage of 2 CTS sub-indicators namely drawing conclusions from the results of investigating and evaluating (formulating alternative solutions) which was still low under 10%. Further research needs to be done on CTS which is allegedly capable of being trained through an inquiry model based worksheets.

However, these skills are still not completely achieved in many schools.…”

Feasibility of Student Worksheets based on Critical Thinking Skills on the Topic of Heat and Temperature

“…Critical thinking is making decisions based on meticulous analysis, which enables higher-order problem-solving (Berestova et al, 2022;O'reilly et al, 2022). This competency positively impacts student learning outcomes (Hartini et al, 2020;Hsu et al, 2022;Wahyudiati, 2022;Yani et al, 2021). In this case, the habituation of critical thinking into the physics curriculum is in accordance with the 2013 curriculum's learning objectives.…”
