Pengaruh Penerapan Metode Pembelajaran Praktikum Terhadap Keterampilan Berpikir Kritis Matematika Siswa Kelas Viii SMP N 3 Sumber Kabupaten Cirebon

Abstract

Critical thinking can be surely taught and practiced for all educational graders. However, in educational field, it is still few teachers who facilitate students' mathematics critical thinking. The aims of this study is to know whether the implementation of practical learning method significantly affects students' mathematics critical thinking skills in learning mathematic at junior high school. The significances of the study are to give students' active role in learning process, to improve students' comprehension towards mathematic concept, and to upgrade students' mathematics critical thinking.This research method is experiment method with design path analysis. The population was taken from all eighth graders which are 265 students of SMP N 3 Sumber period 2014/2015. The, the random sampling was used to gain 44 students of VIII E grade. The technique of data collection including questionnaire and essay test was used.The results of questionnaire showed that 25 or 57 % students gave responses very positively toward the implementation of practical learning method. Then, 19 or 43% students gave positive response toward the implementation of practical learning method. The result of t-test showed that there is a linier relationship between practical learning method and mathematics critical thinking with = 1,341 X. Coefficient with positive response means that there is a significant relationship between practical learning method and mathematics critical thinking by implementing practical learning methods very often may improve students' mathematics critical thinking. According to the result of t-test, it is showed that taccount = 6,509 > ttabel = 2,020. It can be concluded that the implementation of practical learning method significantly affect students' mathematics critical thinking at VIII E grade of SMP Negeri 3 Sumber Kabupaten Cirebon.

The development of chemistry practicum e-module based on simple-practice

“…Specifically, learning with this method can improve students' problem solving skills and can stimulate the establishment of motivation (Abadi and Bahriah, 2016) to find, prove, analyze, experience themselves, and draw conclusions from a concept they are learning (Harefa, 2018). In addition, learning with practicum methods can improve students' critical thinking skills (Kurniawati et al 2015), and practice the science process (Suryaningsih, 2017).…”

Kegiatan Laboratorium Kimia Berbasis Mini-Project Terhadap Hasil Belajar dan Aktivitas Siswa pada Praktikum Uji Aldehid

“…Siswa kurang diberikan kesempatan untuk mengembangkan rasa tanggung jawab, kejujuran, kreativitas, dan rasa percaya diri (Permatasari & Marwoto, 2017). Sedangkan belajar proses memungkinkan tercapainya tujuan belajar dari segi kognitif, afektif, dan psikomotor (Kurniawati et al, 2015).…”

Pengembangan Perangkat Petunjuk Praktikum Berbasis Jigsaw Melalui Pendekatan Probing Pada Mata Kuliah Teknik Laboratorium

“…Penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Kurniawati, Akbar & Misri (2015) menunjukkan bahwa terdapat pengaruh penerapan metode pembelajaran praktikum terhadap keterampilan berpikir kritis dengan 31,82% siswa mendapat skor sangat baik dan 45,46% mendapat skor "baik". Pembelajaran dengan metode praktikum disertai feedback memberikan pengaruh sebesar 47,4% yang tergolong tinggi terhadap hasil belajar siswa pada materi larutan elektrolit dan nonelektrolit (BalRam, 2017).…”
