This study aimed at producing a valid, practical, and effective Civics learning device with guided inquiry model to train the students’ critical thinking skills. The development of the learning device used Dick and Carey model and was tested in the classroom using One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The data were collected through observation, test, and questionnaire. The data analyses were through descriptive quantitative, qualitative, and t-test.From the findings in the trial classroom, it was found a valid, practical, and effective learning device. It was valid because the average score given by civics learning expert was more than 4 in the interval 1-5, and achievement test showed that it was valid, reliable, and sensitive. It was practical because the teachers’ ability in managing the classroom showed good and very good category, and the students' activities were categorized as effective. The learning device was effective because the students’ response was positive, the students’ achievement test was thorough, and the students’ thinking skill was increased.Results of the effectiveness of the learning device oriented guided inquiry method can be seen from the teacher's ability to manage to learn very well, students’ learning activity was effective, students’ response was positive, learning mastery was classically achieved namely 93.33%, and students’ critical thinking ability increased.Based on the results of data analysis, it can be concluded that Civics learning device Oriented Guided Inquiry Method developed is feasible and can train students' critical thinking skills in learning.

This research was conducted to identify and describe prospective teachers’ critical thinking skills profile as readiness to face the industrial revolution 4.0. This research was a descriptive research. Research subjects were  chemistry education students who are prospective chemistry teachers. The instruments used in this study were the Critical Thinking Ability Test and Critical Thinking Ability Questionnaire. The instrument used is valid and reliable. The results of the study showed that the critical thinking skills of prospective chemistry teacher students are still in sufficient criteria with average score 46,7. It was also found that students' critical thinking skills in 5th  semester  were better than those in semester 3rd and 1st with average score 57,46 and 41. This result was also supported by differences in student performance for each indicator of critical thinking skills. Chemistry students show better performance on indicators of building basic skills compared to other critical thinking skills indicators. Meanwhile, the indicators on building strategies and tactics of chemistry education students still showed  poor performance than other indicators. This needs to be improved immediately in order to prepare prospective chemistry teachers who are ready to compete in facing the industrial revolition 4.0. Improvements can be made by designing learning methods, teaching materials and evaluation tools that can improve students' critical thinking skills.Keywords: critical thinking skill, education 4.0., prospective chemistry teachers, revolutioanl industry 4.0ABSTRAK.Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengidentifikasi dan mendeskripsikan profil keterampilan berpikir kritis calon guru kimia sebagai kesiapan dalam menghadapi revolusi industri 4.0.

This study aims to analyze the improvement of students’ critical thinking skills in the features of focus, supporting reasons, reasoning, organization, conventions and integration through the implementation of argument mapping-based guided inquiry learning models. Type of this research is classroom action research, a systematic inquiry with the goal of informing practice in particular situation which adopted Kemmis and McTaggart’s models which follows the cycle of planning, action, observation and reflection. It was conducted in class XI-Avenzoar of SMA Unggulan CT Foundation Deli Serdang in the academic year 2019/2020. The sampling technique was done by total sampling consisting of 24 students with a composition of 6 boys and 18 girls. The instrument used the essay tests adapted from Finken based on Illinois Critical Thinking Essay Test and argument mapping based on van Gelder on the concept of human excretory system. The data collection methods were included the interview, observation and documentation. The whole data was employed by descriptive analysis developed by Miles and Huberman which includes three concurrent activities, data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the features of focus and reasoning from critical thinking skills tests in Cycle I obtained the highest score of all, while the features of supporting reasons and conventions obtained the lowest score and showed no improvement at all. Meanwhile in Cycle II, the features of focus and reasoning increased significantly and obtained the highest score as well. However, the feature of supporting reasons increased simultaneously but conventions still remained. It definitely showed that there was a significant improvement between groups in Cycle I (65.42) and Cycle II (80.21) from the average score of students’ critical thinking skills through their argument mapping grading. The aspects of argument mapping, such as claims, reasons, objections, rebuttals and debates improved well between these cycles. It was strongly suggested that argument mapping could enhance students’ critical thinking skills in Biology. From the results and discussion, it could be concluded that the implementation of the argument mapping-based guided inquiry learning models on the concept of human excretory system had a very positive and significant improvement on students’ critical thinking skills. The students’ critical thinking skills were in the high category.

Learning trends in the 21st-century require students to have the ability to sort appropriate information from certain sources. To do this, students must have critical thinking skills. One of the learning models that can facilitate students to think critically is a guided-inquiry lab. Thus, the purpose of this study was to quantitatively analyze the impact of the implementation of the guided-inquiry lab model on students' critical thinking skills on mechanics material. A pre-experimental method employing one group pretest-posttest only design was applied to obtain students' critical thinking skills data before and after the implementation of the guided-inquiry lab model. A total of 32 students from a junior high school in the city of Karanganyar, Central Java, were involved as the samples in this study. The data obtained were then analyzed using N-gain calculations. Based on the data analysis, there are 81.25% of students have medium creative thinking skills after being taught with a guided-inquiry lab, meaning there is an increase in the average score of students after being taught using a guided-inquiry lab model. It can be concluded that the implementation of the guided-inquiry lab model is effective to improve students' critical thinking skills

The purpose of this study is to improve students' motivation and critical thinking skills through think pair share model that is supported by used materials. Critical thinking ability is needed by students to be able to solve problems. To measure students’ motivation, this study used questionnaires and to measure students' critical thinking skills, this study applied a test. The results show that from the average score of motivation, students' learning motivation reaches 59.8% in the first cycle of study and this proves that there is no significant improvement in students’ motivation. Then, it increases up to 78,6 in the second cycle and 86.7% in the third cycle which means that students’ motivation increases significantly. In relation to students’ critical thinking skills, it is seen that there is a significant improvement in each skills, in which the average score of the test in cycle I is 54,2% and it increases up to 65,7% in cycle II and 83,8% in cycle III with the achievement score of 85%. From these results it can be concluded that there is an increase in students’ learning motivation and critical thinking skills through think pair share models supported with used material.
