Peningkatan Keterampilan Berpikir Kritis Melalui Model Pembelajaran Discovery Learning

Abstract

The importance of critical thinking skills for students in the study of chemistry, it is necessary to appropriate learning models that can involve students directly in making students active learning and improve students' critical thinking skills. One model that can be applied is discovery learning model learning. The purpose of this study was to determine the increase in critical thinking skills of students learning through discovery learning. This study was an experimental study design with nonequivalent pretest-Posttes Control Group Design. The subjects of the study involves two classes of experimental class and control class. Data collection instruments in the form of test critical thinking skills in the form of matter description. Statistical testing using independent sample t-test were previously tested for normality, homogeneity test at the 0.05 significance level. The results showed no difference in the increase in critical thinking skills in each of the indicators of critical thinking skills.Keywords: Discovery learning, critical thinking skills

Development of Learning Tools Based on Discovery Learning Models Combined with Cognitive Conflict Approaches to Improve Students' Critical Thinking Ability

“…In other words, students are already familiar with repetitive information related to the graph, so that when the problem is presented to students, students will be triggered by their memory to solve problems and produce maximum results. The percentage of student acquisition on questions with advance clarification indicators is contrary to the results of research from Qurniati et al, (2015) which states that discovery learning has no effect on increasing students' critical thinking skills on the advance clarification indicator. This can be seen in the results of the N-gain calculation that shows the critical thinking ability of students in the advance clarification indicator lies in the range of values lower than the existing categorization.…”

The Correlation of Guided Inquiry Model with SETS Approach on Students' Critical Thinking Skills

“…The percentage of achievement of the experimental class on this indicator was higher than the control class, namely 92.36% with very good category. Similar result is also found in other studies that the experimental class obtained higher results than the control class on the indicator of focusing on questions (Qurniati, Andayani, and Muntari, 2015). This is caused by the invitational learning stage which starts from the teacher giving daily-life phenomena (Nursamsudin, 2016).…”

“…The preliminary study through field observation activities suggests that the current learning is still teacher-centered (Dewi and Riandi, 2015). Based on the results of observation on teacher questionnaire, teacher-centered chemistry learning causes students not to be trained to think critically which leads to students' low critical thinking skills (Qurniati, Andayani, and Muntari, 2015). Critical thinking is basically an important part of the problem solving process (Zhou, Huang, and Tian, 2013).…”

Pengaruh Media Simulasi terhadap Keterampilan Berpikir Kritis pada Konsep Fluida Statis

“…Dalam hal ini media simulasi dilengkapi grafik yang mengajak siswa untuk dapat memberikan penilaian terhadap hubungan antara teori dengan percobaan. Hal ini sesuai dengan penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Ritdamaya (2011) Hasil ini sejalan dengan penelitian yang telah dilakukan oleh Qurniati et al (2015) yang menyatakan bahwa menyelesaikan soal dengan baik dan benar dapat meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kritis dan kemampuan dalam menentukan suatu tindakan.…”
