PENGEMBANGAN ALAT UKUR BERPIKIR KRITIS PADA KONSEP SENYAWA HIDROKARBON UNTUK SISWA SMA DI KABUPATEN KUNINGAN
Abstract: Efforts to improve
the quality of human resources such as Indonesia can be done through science
education. Science is full of activities thought to be a vehicle for improving
the quality of human resources in Indonesia, especially in developing thinking skills.
The formation of these skills is crucial in the development of personalities
and patterns of action in the life of every human being Indonesia, because it
is the learning of science need to be empowered to achieve that purpose.
Science education had done much to develop higher level thinking that one of
them is critical thinking. To determine the level of success in developing
students' critical thinking, required an assessment tool that can measure these
abilities. Basic test of critical thinking skills should be developed in all
subjects. Chemical subjects which have applications in everyday life can be a
good start in answering these challenges. Critical thinking skills can be
developed through the concept of carbon compounds which have the characteristics
of a concept that involves drawing symbols. Formulation of the problem in this
study is how the measuring tool that needs to be developed that can accurately
measure the critical thinking skills of high school students as a result of
learning the concept of hydrocarbons? The purpose of this research is to
develop measurement tools of critical thinking on the concept of hydrocarbon
compounds for high school students and know the description of critical
thinking skills of high school students in the District of Brass on the concept
of hydrocarbon compounds. Design used in this study is "Research and
Development (R & D)" of the model Borg (1989). Research sites in the
high school in the district of Brass. The subjects in this study were high
school science class II is determined at random 107 students from schools in
the District Brass. The instruments used in this study form beads tiered
multiple-choice test questions. Technique of data collection is done through a
written test. Quantitative data in the form of data acquisition score of
critical thinking skills students are treated statistically. Differences in
critical thinking skills of high school students based on the ranking of
schools in the District Brass done statistical tests by using ANOVA test of the
two pathways. The results showed that there are differences in the average
critical thinking skills among high school students in the region which is an
average Brass thinking skills critical top-ranked schools = 38.70, the average
skill of critical thinking high school rank = 32.98, and average skills
critical thinking ranked schools under = 33.50. This indicates that the test
developed to distinguish critical thinking skills among high school in the
district of Brass.
