Students’ Critical Thinking Skills at SMAN 7 Tebo

Windi Febriatika, Heffi Alberida

Abstract


 Critical thinking skills are one of the most important skills in the 21st century. These students' critical thinking skills need to be known so that the teacher can respond to this by considering the use of learning methods and models that will be used in the classroom. This type of research is descriptive. The population in this study were all students of class X MIPA at SMAN 7 Tebo in the academic year 2020/2021, while for the research sample the sampling technique used was simple random sampling. The research instrument used a validated critical thinking skills questionnaire with validation criteria. The data collection technique in this study was to distribute questionnaires filled out by students. From the research results, it is known that the critical thinking skills of class X MIPA students at SMAN 7 Tebo are still low. This happens because of the lack of students in practicing critical thinking skills, the teacher's focus is only on memorizing knowledge, and the teacher does not apply learning critical thinking skills in the classroom.
