Abstract

Critical thinking is an important thing in building learners' knowledge. Students who have these skills will be able to solve problems effectively. This study examines the effect of science teaching materials based on the 5E learning cycle integrated with local wisdom in terms of gender on students' critical thinking skills. This quasi-experimental research with a pre-test-post-test control group design was carried out at Madrasah Tsanawiyah. Purposive sampling was used to select the research sample, including an experiment and a control group of equal ability between male and female students. The data were analyzed using a t-test and N-gain test to determine the improvement of critical thinking skills in both groups. The results showed that this teaching material affected students' critical thinking skills by the results of the t-test. The difference in the improvement of students' critical thinking skills is significant based on the result of N-gain and categorized as high. Students become more critical in solving problems after study using 5E integrated by local wisdom. The result shows an impact of this teaching material on first to fourth indicators of critical thinking skills. The fifth indicator is not affected by this teaching material because of students' weakness in elaborate the solution. There were also significant differences in the improvement of male and female students' critical thinking skills. One of them is that male students have a quicker response and higher self-confidence than female students in solving the problems. Based on this result, we conclude that applying science teaching material with 5E integrated by local wisdom positively affects students' critical thinking skills.

Abstract

This study aims to conduct a preliminary study related to the management of science practicum activities at the junior high school level throughout Mataram City. This preliminary study is to obtain an overview of the management of science practicum activities which includes practicum activity planning, implementation of practicum activities and practicum activity assessment. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study type of research. The research sample consisted of science teachers and students of grades VIII and IX in 3 schools outside the urban areas of Mataram City. The sampling technique uses perposive sampling. Data collection methods used are observation, documentation and questionnaires and interviews. The results showed that the management profile of science practicum activities carried out in order to improve higher-order thinking skills, science process skills and scientific attitudes had reached 69.21 or in the Enough category. For science practicum planning it has reached 54.58 or in the less category. For the implementation of science practicums it has reached 73.43 or in the good category and for the assessment of science practicum activities it has reached 79.38 or in the good category. The results of this study recommend that science teachers apply various models of more effective science practicum implementation in order to achieve science learning outcomes through science practicum activities
