Abstract

The Influence of This study is an experimental study that aims to see the effect of the SSI local-oriented project-based learning model on students' critical thinking skills on atomic structure materials. The SSI local referred to in this study focuses on social issues in North Maluku. The research design is a one-group pretest-posttest. The sample was selected using a simple purposive sampling technique. Data collection techniques, including tests, were used to measure students' critical thinking skills, and non-test techniques, such as observation sheets, were used to observe the implementation of the SSI locally oriented project-based learning model. The results of the learning observations in the outstanding category, with a 83% percentage. The comparison of pretest and posttest results for students' critical thinking skills also showed a significant increase, reaching 36,19%. The results of the normality test showed sig = 0.200, indicating that the data were normally distributed. The results of the paired-samples T-test showed sig = 0.00; H0 was rejected, and H1 was accepted. Thus, the SSI-oriented PjBL model affects students' critical thinking skills regarding the atomic structure of materials.
