Abstract

This research aims to improve students' critical thinking skills using the project-based learning model in social science learning in elementary schools. A project-based learning model directs students to complete it directly and places responsibility on students during the learning process by generating critical ideas. It is studied using classroom action research with two cycles, each consisting of two meetings with four stages. Continuous, namely planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The data collected includes teacher activities, student activities, and data that can provide conclusions about critical thinking skills. The research results show that project-based learning can improve the critical thinking skills of fifth-grade students in elementary schools; this is proven by calculating the first cycle classical completeness score of 69%. Moreover, there was an increase of 27.59% to 97%. This success was supported by changes and improvements to the learning process following the reflection results in the previous cycle.

Abstract

The level of understanding and misconceptions of Tadris Biology students at Mataram State Islamic University has been analyzed. The tested sub-materials, including quantities, units, and measurements, are adjusted to the Student Semester Learning Plan in the Basic Physics Course. The method used was observation using the 3-tier Diagnostic Test. The 3-tier Diagnostic Test is a question consisting of multiple choice questions accompanied by statements of reasoning and confidence levels.. This method has three stages of student answers: concept answers, reasons, and confidence levels. Based on the results of diagnostic tests on students, it was obtained that the level of complete understanding of students was 23.53%, and the level of misconceptions was 23.53%. The level of misconception is 23.53%. Students experienced the greatest misconceptions in the physical quantities sub-material, which amounted to 52.94%, and the lowest in the measurement material at 5.89%. Most students believe that the angle is not a principal quantity, as indicated by the wrong student answers accompanied by the reasons and with a high confidence level-certainly a misconception because according to experts, the angle is also a principal quantity. Although the percentage of misconceptions is tiny, students still experience misconceptions in each submitter.
