Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of critical thinking on the use of students' critical thinking skills in essay writing. This study uses an experimental study conducted on Indonesian students from the Department of Informatics Engineering divided equally into the experimental group and the control group. While participants in the experimental group were taught to write with critical thinking skills, others were taught to write without reference to these skills. Participants in both groups took a pre-test and posttest to evaluate the development of their use of critical thinking skills in argumentative writing. Data that has been analyzed quantitatively shows that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group. The students' ability to use more credible evidence, answer alternative arguments, support conclusions, and maintain a logical flow of ideas in their essays did not reach the level of mastery in the posttest, but the average level they achieved was convincing considering the short training time they had. Critical Thinking integration for a longer time can yield satisfactory results.

Abstract

The Informatics Engineering Study Program at Mitra Karya University Bekasi has two English courses given in semesters 1 and 3. In semester I, students study English which is directed at understanding grammatical and vocabulary in the field of Informatics Engineering. Students must be able to write a minimum of three paragraphs about their field. Learning to write essays is also aimed at mastering thesis abstract writing. Writing is one aspect of productive language skills. For this reason, the principle of teaching writing is how to make students have sufficient competence in an effort to produce good writing skills in students. However, the process of learning to write English essays is not as easy as expected so far. Students still experience many difficulties in writing essays, this causes the quality of the content of their English essays to be not optimal. Even though it is known that students should be able to react critically when reading an essay text that is presented either on a website, newspaper, magazine, or book. This study uses an experimental method and a quantitative approach, while the data collection technique is carried out by means of observation, tests and documentation, so the results of this study explain that from the results of the description of descriptive statistical data it is known that the average value of students who learn to write English essays using metacognitive strategies had an average score of 81.5 higher than students who studied with cognitive strategies.
