Application of Think Pairs Share-Based on Learning Model to Increase Critical Thinking Skill

Abstract

The objectives of the study is to achieve the learning process of speaking skills by developing a think pair share-based learning model, one of which is to improve the critical thinking skills of junior high school students. The design of this speaking model development is by adapting Borg and Gall's theory. They said in the theory of development of a Think Pair Share-based speaking learning model to improve the critical thinking of junior high school students. It is about learning language; how to speak, read and to respond correctly by developing a think pair share-based learning model. And the results of expert validation obtained the results and were categorized as valid. In terms of practicality, the model applied to the speaking learning process is in a good category. The result of the study states that it is raise to 3.19. as the validator says in the final assessment which contains models it means valid. Based on the criteria of validity and practicality, the model developed is feasible to be used as an alternative to developing speaking learning to increase students' critical thinking skills so as to produce more focused speaking skills and produce quality thinking. Therefore Learning language must focus in what to say, think and react by experience, therefore the more error someone does, the more perfect someone perform.
