This study aimed to examine the effect of inquiry-scaffolding on critical thinking skills and conceptual understanding. The research design used was a mixed-method embedded experimental model. The samples were 64 students. Two-way ANOVA test results for critical thinking skills and conceptual understanding are the same, where the significance value of the learning model = 0.00 (smaller than the alpha value of 0.05). It means that there are differences in critical thinking skills and conceptual understanding of students who learn by inquiry-scaffolding models ( IS) with conventional models. The interaction value between the learning model and the initial ability to critical thinking skills (CTS) is 0.502, while the conceptual understanding is 0.788. It means that there is no interaction between the learning model and the initial ability to CTS, or conceptual understanding. The results of advanced tests with the Tukey test prove that CTS and the conceptual understanding of students with high ability who experience learning with IS are higher than students with high ability in conventional learning. The same thing also applies to students with low initial ability. Thus, it was concluded that the learning model with an inquiry-based scaffolding technique was superior in improving CTS and conceptual understanding, on students with high and low initial abilities. Therefore, this technique can be used in other learning by using different moderator variables

The current study describes how the guided-discovery-learning model impacts students' conceptual understanding (SCU) and students’ critical thinking skills (SCTS) on the topic of solubility. The quasi-experimental research with a posttest-only nonequivalent control group design was used in this study. The experimental group (45 students) and the control group (47 students) were selected by the saturated sampling technique. Data on SCU was collected using an objective true false test instrument with correction/proofing, while data on critical thinking skills was collected using an essay test instrument. The research data were analyzed descriptively and statistically (Mann-Whitney U). The research found the SCU (mean= 81.51 vs. mean= 72.81) and SCTS (mean= 70.46 vs. mean= 58.43) in the experimental group was better than the control group, both descriptively and statistically (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that the guided-discovery-learning model significantly impacted SCU and SCTS on the solubility topic.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether there were differences in critical thinking skills and to describe critical thinking skills among students taught using the Search learning model, Find, And Construct Together (SFCT) and conventional learning models. The research method used is a combination research method with sequential explanatory design. Quantitative data samples were students of class XI MIPA 1 and XI MIPA 2, this quantitative research was obtained by testing students' critical thinking skills. Analysis of the data used is the t test with the prerequisite test, namely the normality test and homogeneity test. Qualitative research subjects were 9 students. The nine students were selected based on high, medium and low critical thinking skills. While the collection of qualitative data is done by observation, interviews, and field notes. The results showed that (1) Based on the results of quantitative data analysis with hypothesis testing using SPSS 20 software, the Sig 2-tailed value was obtained = 0.009. Because the Sig value = 0.009 <0.025 then H0 is rejected. This means that it can be concluded that there are significant differences in critical thinking skills between students who are taught by the SFCT learning model and students who were taught using conventional models. (2) Based on qualitative data analysis obtained from interviews, it can be concluded that students like to be taught using the SFCT model and as many as 80.56% of students fulfill four indicators of critical thinking, while students are not happy to be taught using conventional models and only 63.86% students who fulfill the four indicators of critical thinking.
