Abstract

This study aims to analyze the critical thinking skills of students in the Biology Education Study Program at Pattimura University in solving Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) questions related to modern biotechnology. A descriptive research method was employed, utilizing a test instrument and unstructured interviews to identify factors influencing student performance. The measured critical thinking indicators include clarification, assessment, inference, and strategy. The analysis results indicate that the average student score was 72.5, categorized as "good." Students demonstrated strong abilities in clarification (78), assessment (81), and strategy (70) but encountered difficulties in inference (61). The score variation, with a standard deviation of 11.95, reflects differences in students' proficiency levels. Factors affecting these results include academic background, experience in scientific argumentation, and access to learning resources. The findings highlight the need to strengthen inference skills through discussion-based learning, case studies, and problem-based learning strategies. Enhancing critical thinking skills is expected to better prepare students for challenges in the educational field and enable them to guide learners in developing analytical thinking abilities.

Abstract

The Nervous System is a material in Biology that is abstract and complex, which can lead to misconceptions among students. This study aims to identify the conceptual understanding profile using the Five-Tier Diagnostic Test (5TDT). The analysis includes levels of misconceptions and sources of misconceptions. The research data sources were selected using a purposive sampling technique. The research population consists of a real population, namely all grade XI students of SMA Negeri 3 Semarang, as well as a hypothetical population consisting of individuals with similar characteristics. The results showed that the conceptual understanding profile in the Nervous System of grade XI students' material was still dominated by the lack of knowledge (LK) category. Grade XI students were more likely to experience misconceptions about overgeneralization. The most dominant source of misconceptions came from personal thoughts. Further research is recommended to develop or test the effectiveness of learning models that can improve scientific conception (SC) and reduce lack of knowledge (LK). Furthermore, evaluating the quality and accuracy of learning resources is necessary to minimize the emergence of misconceptions.
