Abstract

This research aims to analyze the application of constructivism philosophy in the context of Freedom of Learning in Indonesia. The specific issue raised is how constructivism philosophy can help students build their own knowledge through experience and interaction with the environment. The proposal given is to apply learning methods that are based on experience and interaction, such as project methods and discussion methods. The research method used is a qualitative method with data collection techniques through interviews and observation. The research results show that the application of constructivism philosophy can help students build their own knowledge, increase learning motivation, and develop critical thinking skills. Apart from that, this research also found that the application of constructivism philosophy can help students develop effective collaboration and communication skills. The philosophy of constructivism can be a strong foundation for implementing the concept of Freedom of Learning in Indonesia. This research can contribute to the development of more effective and efficient educational theory and practice. The results of this research can also be used as a reference for developing curricula and educational programs that are more appropriate to student needs. In the context of education in Indonesia, this research has broad implications. By applying the philosophy of constructivism, education in Indonesia can become more relevant and effective in preparing students to face the challenges of the 21st century.

This research employed a quasi-experimental design. The population of this study consisted of all eight-grade students of MTs Negeri 1 Lebong. The sampling technique used was cluster random sampling, resulting in three sample classes: a class taught using the Inquiry model, a class using Discovery Learning, and a class using conventional learning, with a total sample 106 students. The research instrument was a test designed students' critical and creative thinking skills. Data analysis was conducted using the One-Way ANOVA test followed by the Least Significant Difference (LSD) post hoc test. The results of the study showed that there was a significant effect of the Inquiry model, Discovery Learning, and conventional learning models on students' critical and creative thinking skills. Furthermore, there were significant differences in students' critical and creative thinking skills abilities among the classes taught using the Inquiry model, Discovery Learning, and conventional learning. The guided Discovery Learning model was found to be more effective in improving students' critical thinking skills, while the Inquiry and Discovery Learning models were more effective in improving students' creative thinking skills. Therefore, the implementation of the Inquiry and Discovery Learning models can serve as effective alternative learning models to improve students' critical and creative thinking skills compared to conventional learning
