Abstract

Interest in reading is closely related to argumentation skills and broader knowledge. Lack of interest in reading directly impacts students in expressing ideas and opinions to convince others. This research aimed to determine the correlation between reading interest and the argumentation ability of junior high school students. The method used quantitative with a simple linear regression analysis. The research sample was all students in class VIII of SMP Negeri 2 Wungu Madiun for the 2023 - 2024 academic year totaling 135 students. The instruments used a reading interest questionnaire and an argumentation ability test instrument. Reading interest and argumentation ability had a positive correlation with the weak category and contributed 7.1% and the remaining 92.9% was influenced by other variables not listed in this research. This proves that the higher the student’s interest in reading, the better the argumentation skill.

Abstract

Analytical thinking skills are essential for understanding and solving physics problems, particularly those involving Newton's Laws. One effective way to develop these skills is through the use of free-body diagrams. This study aims to analyze the influence of students’ thinking styles, Concrete Sequential, Abstract Sequential, Concrete Random, and Abstract Random on their analytical thinking abilities in interpreting free-body diagrams. Conducted using a qualitative descriptive approach at State Junior High School 1 Mlarak, Ponorogo Regency, data collection methods included observation, interviews, and document analysis. The findings reveal that students’ thinking styles significantly affect their ability to comprehend and represent forces in free-body diagrams. Students with a Concrete Sequential style demonstrated a more systematic approach in identifying and organizing forces, while those with an Abstract Random style faced greater challenges in structuring information. These results suggest that visual-based learning, such as the use of free-body diagrams, can enhance physics understanding and analytical thinking skills when aligned with students’ thinking styles. This study serves as an initial effort to support the development of students' analytical thinking skills, especially in the context of visual representation in physics. Additionally, the findings can be used by teachers as a reference for designing instructional strategies that cater to diverse thinking styles, thereby enriching the practice of physics education and promoting higher-order thinking skills.
