Abstract- The review was affected by fundamental issues about how to best convey the learning material of Sociology. Team-Based Learning is accepted as a method of learning that can develop critical thinking skills. Team-Based Learning emphasizes opportunities for students to develop the ability to cooperate because it gives greater weight to the discussion (peer discussion) compared to learning by lecture method. This study aimed to determine whether a lecture or Team Based Learning teaches the content material better, develops skills, such as critical thinking; and creates a learning environment that is fun in learning Sociology. Data collection techniques in this study were conducted thorugh the study of literature from books and the results of previous research. The results of this study concluded that Team Based Learning method can improve oral communication and critical thinking skills, and create a more pleasant learning environment than lecture method. Keywords: Effectiveness, Team-based learning, Sociology Abstrak. Kajian ini dipengaruhi oleh isu mendasar tentang bagaimana cara terbaik dalam menyampaikan materi pembelajaran Sosiologi. Team-Based Learning diterima sebagai metode pembelajaran yang dapat mengembangkan kemampuan berpikir kritis. Team-Based Learning menekankan pada kesempatan bagi siswa untuk mengembangkan kemampuan bekerja sama karena memberi bobot lebih besar pada kegiatan diskusi (peer discussion) dibandingkan pembelajaran dengan metode ceramah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dari dua metode yaitu ceramah atau Team Based Learning, metode mana yang lebih baik dalam mengajarkan materi, mengembangkan keterampilan, seperti berpikir kritis; dan menciptakan lingkungan belajar yang menyenangkan dalam belajar Sosiologi. Teknik pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini dilakukan melalui studi literatur hasil-hasil penelitian terdahulu. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa metode Team Based Learning dapat meningkatkan komunikasi lisan dan kemampuan berpikir kritis, serta menciptakan lingkungan belajar yang lebih menyenangkan daripada metode ceramah.  Kata Kunci: keefektifan, pembelajaran berbasis kelompok, sosiologi

This research aims to enhance students’ critical thinking skills of SMP Islam Abhariyah on the academic year 2015/2016 through the application of the generative learning model. Research method used was classroom action research (PTK). This research was conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consist of planning, implementating, observating, and reflecting. Data learning activities of the students and teachers’ activities obtained by observation, while data on students’ critical thinking skills test was obtained by an evaluation at the end of each cycle. The subject of this study was 28 students in VIII-B class. Application of the generative learning model in this study considered as successful if the value of critical thinking skills of the students at a minimum categorized as critical. The data for student’s critical thinking skills was accomplished by using an essay test, and the average value of students is 41.96 (categorized very less critical) whit classical completeness achieved only 3,57% in the cycle I and in the cycle II showed the average value of the students is 68,92 (categorized critical) whit classical completeness increased to 85,71%. Research data of student’s activities was taken by using the student’s observation sheet. The average score in the cycle I is 46.50 (categorized as fairly active) and in the cycle II is 66.00 (categorized as active). The data of teacher’s activities was taken by using teacher’s observation sheet. The presentation of learning material is 64,28% (categorized as good) in the cycle I and 91,06% (categorized as very good) in the gathering II. Thus, the conclusion to this study is the application of the generative learning model can improve students’ critical thinking skills.

The aim of the research is to identify the effect of the interaction between the e-learning environment and the level of self-learning ability on critical thinking and achievement in mathematics among secondary school students. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher relied on the semi-experimental approach, where the research tools were in the measure of self-learning ability, electronic achievement test, After verifying the validity of the research tools and their consistency, they were applied to a sample of (35) female high school students in Taif, They were divided into the first two experimental groups (18) and the second (17) according to the level of self-learning ability (high and low). The first group is taught through a virtual e-learning environment and the other through a personal electronic learning environment. The data were processed using the SPSS statistical program and the research reached a number of results, the most important of which are: There was a statistically significant difference (0.05) among the average scores of the students in the post-test of the achievement test among the first experimental group using the virtual e-learning environment, and the general average (14.28) and the second experimental group using the personal e-learning environment and got a general average (15.39), and shows the difference in favor of the second experimental group. There was also no statistically significant difference (0.05) between the mean scores of the students of the two groups in the post-measurement scores of the Critical Thinking Skills Scale. A statistically significant difference (0.05) was found between the mean scores of the students of the experimental groups in the academic achievement and the critical thinking skills scale due to the main effect of the different level of self-learning ability (high / low) For students with high self-learning ability, There were no statistically significant differences at (0.05) between the mean scores of the students of the two groups due to interaction between the e-learning environment (virtual / personal) and the level of self-learning (high / low) in academic achievement and critical thinking skills. In the light of the results, a number of recommendations and suggestions were presented to enhance the critical thinking skills and the achievement of mathematics in secondary school students and in all educational stages, Including the awareness of teachers and teachers of the importance of using e-learning environments in achieving the desired educational goals and attention to the development of thinking skills in general and critical thinking skills in particular to ensure the efficiency of the process of learning and continuous learning process.

Interaction is one of the crucial processes in online learning, which is a process derived from a common encouragement among people action that they able to utilize, store, share and construct knowledge. It is believed that the interaction among students is able to train the students to involve in active learning and enhance critical thinking skill. Recently, critical thinking is recognized as one of the 21st-century skills that students must have to do well in the community. The engagement of the students in a learning environment that supports higher-order thinking activity is the most effective approach to guide the students in developing critical thinking skills. Nevertheless, without the assistance of technology, it may be nearly impossible to ensure that all students have access to learning environments that support and develop these skills. The way students study, interact and think has been shifted due to the increasing use of technologies in learning institutions, particularly during online learning. The online platform is better when there are students interact with each other in form of social learning. Nonetheless, limited research is available on how online interaction in the social learning environment can promote students’ critical thinking skill. This study utilized a theory-building method to design the framework. The purpose of the framework of this study is to assist other practitioners and researchers in applying the elements of online interaction in a social learning environment to foster students’ critical thinking skill.
