This study aimed to develop guided discovery learning-based android learning media to improve critical thinking skills. The developed biology learning media was applied to the nervous system material. The discussion of the physiology of the nervous system is one of the difficult biological materials to understand because it includes the organization and structure of neurons and their functions, ion pump mechanisms when neurons are at rest, action potential mechanisms, mechanisms for neurons to communicate with other cells in the synapses, and organization of the nervous system. This study used research and development (RD) with a method developed by Thiagarajan, namely the 4D model with stages: define, design, develop and disseminate. The stages of this study are limited to the development stage. The results showed that the media was feasible with media, language, and a material expert validation of   3.5, 3.8, and 3.3, respectively.

Discovery learning is a learning situation on wich the principle content of what is tobe learned is not give but must be independly discovered by student. The effectiveness of guided discovery learning model to improve students’ critical thinking skills uses 6 indicators, are: formulating problems, formulating hypotheses, analyzing date, providing alternatives, summing up, communicating and applying principle. The guided discovery learning model was included in the effective category in terms of: (a) Improvement (N-gain) of students’ critical thinking skills by 0.65 with moderate criteria and (b) Students respond positively to learning using guided discovery learning model and its learning tools on implementation.

Abstract. It has been conducted the research on the implementation of Guided Discovery Learning (GDL) models on salt hydrolysis material. The factors studied were teacher activities, student activities, critical thinking skills, and cognitive, affective, and psychomotor learning outcomes. This study uses a classroom action research design with 2 cycles. The source of the data is 37 students of class XI IPA 1 SMA Negeri 1 Banjarmasin. The research instruments were tests and nontes. The results showed that there was an increase in teacher activity by 35.20%, from 51.13 (quite good) in cycle 1 to 69.13% (good) in cycle II; there was an increase in student activity by 41.19%, from 47.13% (quite active) in the first cycle to 88.88% (active) in cycle II; students' critical thinking skills increase by 27.30%; learning outcomes of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor respectively increased by 23.39%, 40.43%, and 37.62%. Keywords: GDL, critical thinking, learning outcomes   Abstrak. Telah dilakukan penelitian tentang penerapan model Guided Discovery Learning (GDL) pada materi hidrolisis garam. Faktor yang diteliti yaitu aktivitas guru, aktivitas siswa, keterampilan berpikir kritis, hasil belajar kognitif, afektif, dan psikomotorik. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan penelitian tindakan kelas (PTK) dengan 2 siklus. Sumber data penelitian adalah 37 orang siswa kelas XI IPA SMA Negeri 1 Banjarmasin. Instrumen penelitian berupa tes dan nontes. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terjadi peningkatan aktivitas guru sebesar 35,20%, dari 51,13(cukup baik) pada siklus 1 menjadi 69,13% (baik) pada siklus II; terjadi peningkatan aktivitas siswa sebesar 41,19%, dari 47,13% (cukup aktif)  pada siklus I menjadi 88,88% (aktif) pada siklus II; keterampilan berpikir kritis siswa meningkat sebesar 27,30%; hasil belajar kognitif, afektif, dan psikomotor masing-masing meningkat sebesar 23,39%, 40,43%, dan 37,62%. Kata kunci: GDL, berpikir kritis, hasil belajar

Critical thinking is widely recognized as a necessary skill for growth and intellectual development due to a variety of factors, including globalization, the revolution of information technology, modernity, and connectivity. EFL teachers can lay the groundwork for their students to attain critical thinking through various methods, models, and strategies. The present investigation suggests that the teacher could promote EFL learners’ critical thinking through guided discovery model of instruction. Henceforth, the current paper endeavors to enlighten the adequacy of applying guided discovery for developing learners’ critical thinking skills. It is an experimental research that investigates: how may guided discovery contribute to the development of EFL learners’ critical thinking? It attempts to examine the utility of discovery learning in teaching students how to process and think critically about the education they receive where information has become readily available and accessible. To this aim, 40 EFL Master students who took educational psychology courses were nominated from the university center of Naama, Algeria. The researcher selected Peter Honey Critical Thinking test and focus group discussions to attain data on students’ critical thinking skills. The test results demonstrated that the experimental group outperformed the control group. The students become more autonomous, reflect on their learning experiences, and identify the most useful strategies. Furthermore, the analysis of focus group interviews revealed that the experimental group participants hold positive attitudes toward discovery learning. They perceive it as a precious method that can enhance their awareness about the value of thinking critically.

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 background of this research is, there is no learning model that can optimally support critical thinking skills, so it takes an innovative learning model. In this case, the researchers used web helped to guide discovery learning model to improve the critical thinking skills of the student in class X SMAN 4 Praya in academic year 2019/2020. This study aimed to find an effect of web assisted guided discovery learning on trigonometry material to critical thinking ability of the student in class X SMAN 4 Praya in academic year 2019/2020. This study use a quantitative research approach to the type of experimental research. In this experiment the researchers used a quasi-experimental, and uses two classes as a research, the experimental class and control class. The population of this research is all the student in class X SMAN 4 Praya and and choose two class as a sample class that is X MIPA 5 as a experimental class and X MIPA 3 as control class. Student in experimental class used web assisted guided discovery learning model and in control class used guided discovery without web assisted. The result of the research showed that the average of critical thinking ability in the experimental class is better than control class which is in the experimental class is in the less effective category and control class in ineffective category.
