Abstract

Critical thinking skill is frequently the primary focus of physics education research, while its underlying foundation, critical thinking awareness, remains rarely examined, particularly among Senior High School students. This study aims to describe the profile of students' critical thinking awareness in physics learning, identify the most influential indicator, and examine differences based on gender. A quantitative descriptive method was employed involving 30 tenth-grade students (10 males and 20 females) at a Madrasah Aliyah in Garut Regency as respondents. Data were collected using a closed five-point Likert questionnaire measuring three indicators: beliefs and appreciation of logic, metacognitive caution, and academic self-efficacy. The instrument was valid (r = 0.69-0.87) and reliable (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.963). Results showed that students' mean critical thinking awareness score was 50.80 out of a maximum of 75 (67.7%), classified as moderate-to-high, with a relatively balanced profile across the three indicators (range 3.36-3.42). An independent samples t-test revealed a significant gender difference (t = -2.86; p = 0.008), with female students (M = 54.05) demonstrating higher critical thinking awareness than male students (M = 44.30), accompanied by a large effect size (Cohen's d = 1.11). These findings emphasize the need for physics teachers to design instructional strategies that build metacognitive awareness as a foundation prior to training higher-order critical thinking skills, while also attending to the gender gap in students' thinking dispositions.Keywords: critical thinking awareness, gender, metacognitive awareness, physics learning

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate students’ problem-solving ability in learning the topic of rigid body equilibrium. The indicators of problem-solving ability used in this research are based on Heller’s problem-solving framework, namely: (1) understanding the problem, (2) describing the problem in terms of physics concepts, (3) planning a solution, (4) implementing the solution, and (5) evaluating the solution. The research method employed is descriptive quantitative, using a single-case design, that is, a case study focusing on only one unit of analysis. The participants in this study were Year 11 science-stream students (class XI MIA) at an Islamic upper secondary school (MA) in Garut Regency. Data were collected through problem-solving tests, interviews, and learner worksheets (LKPD). The findings indicate that students’ problem-solving abilities fall into varied categories with an overall mean in the moderate range. Nevertheless, the results suggest that improvements in teaching methods that better support problem-solving skills are still required.
