<p>This study was conducted in class VIII C SMP 21 Pontianak City in 2015/2016. The study focused on the material report. Materi subject matter for the report is required to master this material student. Students so that they can write a trip report or reports on the observed results. they report should refer to the nature report. The fact write in school, students have difficulty writing reports. efforts to improve the ability of students to write a report done by the application of concepts and critical thinking questions. The focus of this research is how the application of the concept maps and critical thinking in improving report writing capability class VIII C SMP 21 years of 2015/2016? The scope of the research is focused on a few sub focus namely research, planning, implementation, and the result. The research method is descriptive and qualitative research design form of class action. Results of research learning planning cycle 1 (APKG1) values obtained 85.00 (very good), 2 cycles values obtained 97.50 (very good). Learning implementation using APKG2, the activities of teachers in the first cycle, the first and second meetings have been categorized Very Good, with a value of 87.20. Activities teachers teach when the second cycle, the first meeting and the second is better, with a value of 88.80. If the student activity cycled see first, first and second meetings are very active and are included active. Good Cycle. This second, first and second meeting, there was an increase in the student activity is said to be better than the first. Every cycle and every member of the group to work independently and be careful in teaching. cycle values of individual students: the average is 79.39. There is a group formed in learning activities. The final average group value  84.00. Second cycle. Values of individual students from three aspects, the average is 79.39. value incomplete 26.8%. group value Rate Average 88.00. 87.56 absorptive capacity. There was an increase in the average value of cycle 1 to cycle 2, at 4. But the value of the individual is constant.</p>

Students' critical thinking ability is one of the components developed in 21st Century learning. However, this critical thinking ability is still very minimal and far from expectations, this is supported by the results of international surveys that show a low average value. Likewise, the results of the pretest of critical thinking skills of grade IV elementary school students in Cluster 2 Purwasari showed a low average value. This study aims to determine the improvement of students' critical thinking skills in reading comprehension learning through the use of the FIVES Model and the Guided Reading Model. The study used a quasi-experiment with Static Group Pretest-Postest Design. The results showed that the use of these two models could improve students' critical thinking skills. However, the use of Model FIVES experienced a significant increase compared to the Guided Reading Model. Thus, there is an increase in students' critical thinking skills through the FIVES Model compared to the Guided Reading Model.

Inviting someone to be able to study according to a predetermined plan is not easy, especially after the covid-19 pandemic, many children are lazy in learning, especially reading, so teaching materials are needed that can attract students' interest. For junior high school students who still want to play dominantly, the teacher must be able to provide teaching materials in which there is an element of play so that students can be motivated in learning. Based on this background, the researchers conducted a Development Research on Puzzle-based LKPD to improve the science learning outcomes of class VIII SMPN 15 Mukomuko students on the material of the Human Circulatory System. The puzzle that the researcher means is a crossword puzzle. From the results of research and testing from the validator team, researchers got a Puzzle-based worksheet that can be used after the validator team's assessment of the presentation aspect with a value of 18 on the criteria 72% is in the category of quite valid and suitable for use with minor revisions, and the content aspect with a value of 23 on the 76% criteria are in the valid category and suitable for use without revision. From this research we get a reference that can be used by science subject teachers to teach material on the human circulatory system. ABSTRAKMengajak seseorang untuk bisa belajar sesuai dengan rencana yang sudah ditetapkan bukanlah hal yang mudah, apalagi setelah pandemi covid-19, banyak anak yang malas dalam belajar terutama membaca, sehingga diperlukan bahan ajar yang dapat menarik minat siswa. untuk siswa SMP yang masih dominan ingin bermain maka guru harus dapat menyediakan bahan ajar yang didalamnya ada unsur bermain sehingga siswa dapat termotivasi dalam belajar.
