Abstract

This systematic literature review, conducted using the PRISMA method, synthesizes research on the development of critical thinking assessment instruments in junior high school science education between 2016 and 2025. Secondary data were obtained through the Publish or Perish application with sources from Google Scholar, keywords include science learning, assessment instruments, and critical thinking. By analyzing 7 peer-reviewed national journals, the study evaluates the validity, reliability, and effectiveness of these tools in enhancing students' critical thinking skills. The findings highlight diverse assessment models, their impact on student learning outcomes, and the challenges faced by educators in implementing these tools. This review offers recommendations for improving the design and application of critical thinking assessments in science curricula.

Abstract

The level of critical thinking skills among students in science education is still relatively low because the learning models used have not been able to optimize their thinking processes, which are still teacher-centered and lack meaningful problem-solving experiences. This study aims to analyze the impact of the PBL model in improving students' critical thinking skills by applying the Systematic Literature Review method in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. This research method identified 781 articles through Google Scholar, of which 22 articles met the inclusion criteria. The results show that PBL effectively optimizes students' higher-order thinking skills by involving them in contextual learning. PBL also provides more structured opportunities for scientific reasoning compared to other models. Further research is recommended to analyze the integration of PBL with various other digital media that can explore long-term impacts and involve broader levels of education for more comprehensive results.
