The students’ biology learning results may vary among student, caused by several variables affecting the students’ learning results, such as, learning style, critical thinking, metacognitive skills, learning models and some others. Many researches have investigated the correlation between critical thinking and students’ learning results. However, a research investigating the correlation between critical thinking and learning results in Group Investigation (GI) learning has not been conducted. This research aims at investigating the correlation between the critical thinking and the learning results of senior high school students in Biology learning implementing the Group Investigation (GI) learning in Malang. This research was conducted in 2015 from July until December, using correlational design. The population of this research was all senior high school students in Malang. The subjects of this research were 32 students of class X MIA 2, and 33 students of class X MIA 4 of St Mary senior high school Malang. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression analysis. The results of this research showed that there was a correlation between students’ critical thinking and their learning results with the regression equation of the correlation between the two variables Y = 0.988X + 0.095, having a reliability value of 73.9%.

Conceptual understanding should have serious attention due to the low score of Physics subject on national examination in Palu. The difference between learning style and jigsaw strategy is able to combine abstract conceptualization and active experiment towards the conceptual understanding for students whose learning style is converger and diverger. The research design was quasi experiment. The sample is the eleventh class of Senior High School students in Palu that are chosen using cluster random sampling (multistage), that is, 167 students. The research instrument was Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory (KLSI) of conceptual understanding test on Physics (Tes Pemahaman Konsep Fisika or TPKF). The data was analyzed by using ANOVA, with the significant level is 5%. The result shows that: (1) cooperative learning strategy of jigsaw type has more benefits than direct learning strategy in conceptual understanding on Physics, (2) student group of which learning style was converger has higher conceptual understanding than that of which learning style was diverger, (3) there are interaction influence between learning strategy and learning style towards the conceptual understanding on Physics

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan proses berpikir kritis siswa SMA dalam pengajuan soal matematika berdasarkan tingkat kemampuan matematika yang terdiri atas kemampuan matematika tinggi, sedang dan rendah. Subjek penelitian adalah siswa kelas X dan berjumlah lima orang. Adapun hasil penelitian yang menggambarkan proses berpikir kritis siswa SMA dalam pengajuan soal berdasarkan tingkat kemampuan matematika sebagai berikut. 1) Siswa berkemampuan matematika tinggi kategori baik dalam pengajuan soal matematika memahami petunjuk dan informasi, menggunakan pengetahuan yang telah diperoleh sebelumnya sebagai sumber ide dan memiliki beberapa kriteria untuk membuat soal. 2) Siswa berkemampuan matematika sedang dengan kategori baik dalam pengajuan soal matematika memahami petunjuk dan informasi pada masalah terkait pengajuan soal, mengenali perintah dan mengidentifikasi asumsi-asumsi mendasar berupa apa yang diketahui pada informasi yang diberikan. 3) Siswa berkemampuan matematika rendah kategori kurang baik dalam pengajuan soal matematika memahami petunjuk dan informasi yang pada masalah terkait pengajuan soal. Mengacu pada hasil penelitian terlihat bahwa proses berpikir kritis siswa SMA dalam pengajuan soal matematika berdasarkan tingkat kemampuan matematika berbeda-beda.This study aims to describe Senior High School students critical thinking process in mathematics problem posing based on their mathematics ability level that is consisted of high, medium and low ability level. The subjects of this study is are five grade X students. The data were collected through semi-structured interview. This research then illustrates senior high school students critical thinking process in mathematic problem posing based on their mathematic ability level as follows: 1) The student have high mathematic ability in mathematic problem posing that might be categorized baik could understand the instruction and information, use her previous knowledge as the source of idea and having some criteria to make problems. 2) The student have medium mathematics ability in mathematics problem posing that might be categorized baik could understand the instruction and information related to problem posing, identify the instruction basic assumptions due to the knowledge she attained form given information. 3) The student have low mathematics ability in mathematics problem posing that might be categorized kurang baik could understand the instruction and information in mathematics problem posing. Referring to the research findings, it is known that senior high school students critical thinking process in mathematics posing problem is different based on their mathematic ability level.
