CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS IN INTEGRATED SCIENCE LEARNING VIEWED FROM LEARNING MOTIVATION

Abstract: The study aimed to determine the effect of Predict Discuss Explain Observe Discuss Explain and Small Group Discussion strategies toward critical thinking skills and the influence of learning motivation toward critical thinking skills. This study was a quasi experiment with the non-equivalent pretest-posttest design. Data were analysed by inferential statistics of two way analysis of variance and regression analysis. The results showed that Predict Discuss Explain Observe Discuss Explain and Small Group Discussion strategies were influential toward critical thinking skills and the average of students critical thinking skills using Small Group Discussion strategy was better than those experiencing Predict Discuss Explain Observe Discuss Explain strategy. Furthermore, learning motivation were also influential toward critical thinking skills. Students having high learning motivation were better than students having low learning motivation. Regression analysis showed learning motivation and critical thinking skills have positive correlation. Influence of learning motivation toward critical thinking skill was about 6.4%.
