Contextual teaching and learning-based local wisdom approach is an approach that can be used in 21st century classes to develop student skill problems. Enhancing problem solving skills is the focus of the objectives in this study. Classroom action research follows the Kemmis & McTaggart action model. The research subjects were 28 students in class VIIA of SMP Negeri 1 Manokwari. Data collected using observation sheet and test. The analysis found that the average of student activity in the first cycle was 66% (adequate category), and increased in the second cycle with an average of 80% (good category). The increase is 14%. The average problem solving skills of students in the first cycle were 14% (very poor category), and increased in the second cycle by 62% (enough category). It can be concluded that CTL-based local wisdom approach can enhance student activity and problem solving skills of junior high school students. Future research can use other local wisdom based learning to develop problem solving skills for better.
Critical thinking skills are skills that are needed in the face of rapid technological development. The level of critical thinking skills in mathematics learning needs to be researched to analyze the extent to which the culture of critical thinking skills has been carried out. This study aims to describe the level of critical thinking skills of 5th graders in mathematics learning. The type of research used is descriptive research with a qualitative approach. The subjects of this study were grade 5 students at SD Negeri 1 Miricinde, as many as 15 students. This study uses a written test in the form of a description question. The data obtained are then analyzed by correcting students' answers. Critical thinking skill instruments contain aspects of critical thinking skills developed by including aspects: providing explanations simply, determining the basis of decision making, concluding, providing further explanations, estimating and combining. The results of the data analysis obtained, 26.7% of students have low critical thinking skills, 46.7% of students have sufficient critical thinking skills, 20% of students have high critical thinking skills, and 6.7% of students have very high critical thinking skills. So it can be concluded that the 5th grade students of Miricinde State Elementary School 1 have a sufficient level of category critical thinking skills.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
