- Abstract
Critical thinking skills are fundamental skills possessed by students to adapt to the external challenges of 21st-century. Then research on the effect of the implementation of inquiry learning models on students’ critical thinking skills. This study was categorized as a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group design. The population in this research is 224 students are divided into seven different classes. The sample selected by using cluster random sampling technique and selected 2 classes. The instrument of critical thinking consists of 6 essay questions given by an individual on material temperature and heat. Critical thinking test first through the validity test by experts. Critical thinking skills tests are given at the beginning and end of learning. Hypothesis testing is done by independent t-test. Before testing the hypothesis, the normality and homogeneity of the data are tested as a prerequisite for the parametric statistical test. This indicates that there is a difference in the critical thinking skills of students who take the inquiry learning model from students who learn to use the non-inquiry learning model. The inquiry learning model applied in the experimental class aims to train students in finding a concept related to temperature and heat.
