Abstract

Low learning activity in science students causes a decrease in critical thinking skills. This can be seen from the results of learning redox material under the Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal (KKM) of 75 in one of the high schools in Cirebon. Therefore, this study aims to improve students' critical thinking skills by using the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) model for redox material in class X IPA MAN 1 Cirebon City. The research method used a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. Sampling was carried out by Purposive sampling consisting of class X IPA 5 as an experimental class and class X IPA 4 as a control class. The instruments used are critical thinking ability tests, observation sheets, and questionnaires. The selection of a sample based on the KKM of a class was revealed from discussions with a chemistry teacher. The development of the T-test obtained a sig value. 0.000 0.05 and an n-gain score of 0.71 with the highest category. The results showed improved critical thinking skills after being given STEM learning. Students respond very well to the teaching that has been done using the STEM model. Based on the results of the t-test and N-gain test, it can be concluded that the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) learning model can improve students' critical thinking skills on redox material.

Abstract

This research aimed to explore the contribution of the falsification process to the progress of science in the field of atomic theory. The analysis focused on the history of atomic development and how this theory underwent a process of falsification. This research was qualitative research using a literature study with a narrative review method. The results showed that the development of a theory, including the theory of atoms, has undergone many improvements. Falsification is an essential aspect of scientific progress, especially in atomic theory, involving testing the theory through experimentation and observation to determine accuracy. In the development of atomic theory, falsification played a key role, as in Dalton's atomic theory. Although revolutionary, subsequent experiments revealed subatomic particles, resulting in the falsification of Dalton's ideas and the emergence of a more complex understanding of atomic structure. The evolution of atomic theory shows that scientific knowledge is dynamic, continuing to develop through falsification. New evidence continues to refine ideas, ensuring scientific knowledge accurately reflects the natural world. The scientific method emphasizes openness to falsification, stating that theories must be testable and can be replaced when significant evidence refutes the theory. This openness is the basis for scientific progress and a deeper understanding of the universe.
