Abstract

Critical thinking skills are crucial for preparing students to face complex real-world problems and are a key component of 21st-century learning. This study aims to identify the critical thinking skill profile of 5th-grade elementary school students on the respiratory system material. Critical thinking is an essential skill in 21st-century education, particularly for developing students' abilities in analysis, evaluation, and argumentation. However, it is often neglected in science education at the elementary level. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method with survey techniques. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and classroom observations to assess students' critical thinking skills. The results indicate that among the 30 students tested, 15 were categorized as Fair, 12 as Low, and only 3 as Good. No student achieved the Very Good or Very Low category. The analysis of critical thinking indicators including analyzing, evaluating, composing arguments, and problem-solving reveals that while students possess a basic understanding, they struggle with more advanced critical thinking tasks. The study concludes that students' critical thinking skills remain limited to basic comprehension. This limitation is attributed to the dominance of rote learning methods and the lack of interactive and problem-solving-based instructional strategies. Future teaching approaches should prioritize active learning and the integration of critical thinking practices to enhance students' higher-order thinking skills.

Abstract

Education plays an important role in the inheritance of values and culture, especially amidst the currents of globalization that can now erode local cultures and integrate local wisdom values, including in the character education of students. One form of culture that can be implemented in character education is pencak silat, specifically the Setia Hati Teratai school of pencak silat. This research aims to analyze the ethnopedagogical implementation of Pencak Silat Setia Hati Teratai as a character strengthener of the Pancasila Student Profile among students. The type of research uses a descriptive qualitative approach, emphasizing the reduction, display, and analysis of data from various literatures related to character education and culture. The subjects of the research involve trainers of Setia Hati Teratai Pencak Silat, teachers who teach in schools, and students who apply local wisdom in their learning. The research results show that the training and philosophy in Pencak Silat Setia Hati Teratai support the instillation of values such as mutual cooperation, noble character, independence, and global diversity, as well as the overall values included in the Pancasila Student Profile. Through an ethnopedagogical approach, pencak silat not only functions as a physical activity but also as a medium for character education that aligns with Pancasila. Thus, Pencak Silat Setia Hati Teratai has great potential to be developed in culture-based character education, contributing to the formation of a young generation that is characterized, nationalistic, and tolerant of diversity.
