Keterampilan Berpikir Kritis Siswa SMA pada Materi Suhu dan Kalor dalam Pembelajaran Fisika

Abstract

The industrial revolution 4.0 is a new challenge for education sector. One of the skills that students must possess in order to face this challenge is critical thinking skills. These skills can be trained in a variety of disciplines, including physics. Through the implementation of a scientific approach in learning physics, students can practice critical thinking skills. In fact, the implementation of physics learning still used teacher-centered. Students are not given the opportunity to explore their understanding and thinking skills. So, there is a perception that physics is difficult. One of the materials that students consider difficult is heat and temperature. This research aims to describe students' critical thinking skills on heat and temperature in physics learning. The research method used is descriptive method. The research instrument was a critical thinking skill test in the form of essay questions and open interviews. The test was given to 33 students of class XI SMA Negeri 1 Krian Sidoarjo. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and the results of interviews were used to obtain in-depth information regarding students' critical thinking skills. In general, the results of the research show that the average critical thinking skills of students are still low. The lowest critical thinking skills of students can be seen in the category of inference and advanced clarification. Meanwhile, students' critical thinking skills in the category of basic clarification, building basic skills, and managing strategies and tactics were in medium criteria. Keywords: critical thinking skills, heat and temperature, physics learning ABSTRAK Revolusi industri 4.0 menjadi sebuah tantangan baru bagi dunia pendidikan. Salah satu keterampilan yang harus dimiliki lulusan pendidikan dalam rangka menghadapi tantangan ini adalah keterampilan berpikir kritis. Keterampilan ini dapat dilatihkan melalui berbagai disiplin ilmu, termasuk fisika. Melalui penerapan pendekatan saintifik dalam pembelajaran fisika dapat melatihkan keterampilan berpikir kritis siswa. Namun, saat ini pembelajaran fisika yang diterapkan masih berpusat pada guru. Siswa tidak diberi kesempatan untuk mengeksplor pemahaman dan keterampilan berpikirnya. Sehingga muncul persepsi bahwa fisika itu sulit. Salah satu materi yang dianggap sulit oleh siswa adalah suhu dan kalor. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan keterampilan berpikir kritis siswa pada materi suhu dan kalor dalam pembelajaran fisika. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif. Instrumen penelitian berupa tes keterampilan berpikir kritis dalam bentuk soal essay dan wawancara terbuka. Tes diberikan kepada 33 orang siswa kelas XI SMA Negeri 1 Krian Sidoarjo. Data dianalisis menggunakan analisis deskriptif dan hasil wawancara digunakan untuk mendapatkan informasi mendalam terkait keterampilan berpikir kritis siswa. Secara umum hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata keterampilan berpikir kritis siswa masih rendah. Rendahnya keterampilan berpikir kritis siswa terlihat pada kategori membuat kesimpulan dan memberikan penjelasan tindak lanjut. Sedangkan keterampilan berpikir kritis siswa pada kategori memberikan penjelasan sederhana, membangun keterampilan dasar, dan mengatur strategi dan taktik berada pada kriteria sedang.Kata kunci: keterampilan berpikir kritis, suhu dan kalor, pembelajaran fisika

Effectiveness of Local Potential-Based Biodiversity E-booklets on Students' Critical Thinking Skills

“…Discussion activities are one way to train critical thinking skills because in discussions there is an exchange of opinions and in the process of exchanging opinions, students can consider, reject, or accept their own opinions or the opinions of others so that they are in accordance with group opinions, and through discussion students can also reduce disagreements. between himself and other students (Arfianawati et al, 2016) This is in line with research (Sundari & Sarkity, 2021) which explains that in learning, giving directive questions by the teacher is proven to have a positive impact on students before deciding on a way out of the problem. These activities help students in building meaning from a concept that is useful for the development of critical thinking skills.…”

The Role of Brain-Based Learning in Training Students' Critical Thinking Skills

“…Through the ability to think, a person will be able to face and examine all the problems they face. Therefore, critical thinking abilities are essential (Sundari & Sarkity, 2021). The articles used are not only subject to students but also to students at the university level.…”

Application of the STAD-Type Cooperative Model Assisted by Wordwall to Enhance Students Critical Thinking Ability

“…The fourth aspect, namely managing strategy and tactics, makes students can determine effective and efficient actions to find a solving from the problem (Sundari & Sarkity, 2021). The indicators included in this aspect are determining actions in question number 5 and interacting with other people in problem number 9.…”
