Critical thinking ability of high school students in daily life acid-base concept

Abstract

This study aimed to comprehend the quality of critical thinking questions and measure the critical thinking ability in the daily life acid-base topic of 2nd -students from six public high schools, six private high schools, and combination of them in Yogyakarta at the 2018/2019 academic year based on the answer patterns of students to the developed critical thinking questions. The method was an ex-post facto research designed with a one-sample design. The level of critical thinking ability was measured by 15 critical thinking question outlined from the seven critical thinking criteria referred to established commercial critical thinking test. The questions were theoretically validated by three reviewers (content, evaluation, and chemistry education experts). The results showed that the quality of critical thinking questions were excellent. The level of critical thinking skills in daily life acid-base topic of 2nd-grade Yogyakarta’s senior high schools at the academic year 2018/2019 of six public high schools, six private high schools, and combination both of them was 40.2% (moderate), 34.8% (deficient), 37.5% (deficient), respectively.

Critical Thinking Skills Profile of High School Students in AP Chemistry Learning

“…Within a range of quantitative and qualitative reliability and validity testing phases, the DOT test was developed and evaluated throughout three versions. According to the studies, (Li et al 2020, Salirawati et al 2021Susetyo et al 2021 andHelix et al 2021) the final version of the DOT test has good internal reliability, strong test-retest reliability, moderate convergent validity, and is independent of past academic success and university of study (Danczak et al 2016).…”

Developing An Interactive Chemistry E-module Based on Problem-based Learning to Improve Critical Thinking Skills of High School Students

“…Reactions of ions in solution require student understanding, so advanced thinking and analysis are required to build and relate the concepts given (Nahadi et al, 2020). Mastery of concept is abstracted as the basis for critical thinking, decision making and problem-solving abilities (Lismayani et al, 2017). A learning model that can facilitate students' analysis and thinking processes is problem-based learning (PBL).…”

“…Problem-solving skills is one competencies that students must possess (Hidayatullah, Azizah, & Suyono, 2020). This is because new experiences may be encourage in students through problemsolving skills by finding solutions and processes (Lismayani & Mahanal, 2017). Implementing problem-solving experts has diverse opinions used as reference approach.…”
