The purpose of this study is to find out the critical thinking skills indicators and aspects of prospective elementary school teachers in mathematics-science integration lectures on electrical circuits and mathematical logic lesson. This research uses random sampling technique in which 30 first semester students were chosen randomly from one of university in Padang region West Sumatera Indonesia. This research uses Research and Development (R & D). The critical thinking skills are seen from processes, observations, and tests. The process of critical thinking skills of prospective elementary school teachers on the average of critical thinking skills indicator is 84% in strategies and tactics, 80% in advanced clarification and 83% in elementary clarification, basic support, and inference. The result of observing the critical thinking skills of prospective elementary school teachers on the average of each lectures is significantly increased to be 81.9%.

This study aims to describe the impact of online mentoring activities in implementing the RADEC (Read, Answer, Discuss, Explain, and Create) learning model on the competence of elementary school teachers in training students’ critical thinking skills. The method was a pre-experiment with a one-group pretest-posttest design involving 25 elementary school teachers in Indonesia. The teachers received online mentoring in implementing RADEC learning model. The research instrument was a questionnaire to measure teachers’ knowledge and skills in training critical thinking. The data processing technique was carried out by calculating the mean and the percentage of each item to obtain a description of the teachers’ knowledge and skills in training students’ critical thinking before and after treatment. The data were analyzed inferentially with a paired sample t-test using SPSS version 22 software to see the impact of the treatment on teachers’ competence in training critical thinking. Based on the results of the paired-sample t-test, for both the knowledge and skills aspects, the probability value (sig) was 0.00 <0.05. This result means that there was a significant difference in the knowledge and skills of teachers in training students’ critical thinking skills before and after mentoring activities. The study results indicate that the online mentoring in implementing the RADEC learning model improved teachers’ competence in training elementary school students’ critical thinking skills.

The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of integrated local wisdom sheets for local wisdom on students' critical thinking skills. This type of pre-experimental research with the design of one groups pre-test post-test design. Samples were 18 students taken with saturated sampling technique. The instrument used was the Critical Thinking Skills Test (TKBK) with indicators: 1) interpretation; 2) analysis; 3) conclusions; 4) evaluations; 5) explanations; and 6) self-regulation. Data were analyzed descriptively and in paired sample test statistics. The results showed that the integrated inquiry wisdom local worksheet was declared effective based on the results of the N-Gain analysis with an average value of 0.65 (moderate). Indicators of interpretation and evaluation reached a percentage of 81 with a category (very high). Skills indicators explain 80 in categories (high), analysis indicators and skills conclude 60 categories (low), and the lowest percentage in self-regulation indicators reaches 37 in categories (very low). Weak skills in analyzing and making conclusions, because student self-regulation skills are low. This condition demands the need to improve self-regulation by developing cognitive monitoring through an emphasis on learning that can practice scientific curiosity skills.

This research is aimed to determine the students’ achievement and critical thinking on the digestion system topic. This study was conducted using a quasi-experiment with a control group pre-test and post-test design. Furthermore, the samples were chosen using the purposive sampling technique. The instrument consisted of 20 multiple-choice tests. Findings indicate that the average student achievement is 16.71 in the experiment and 12.92 in the control class. The t-test also can be known as t-count t-table (1.71 1.68), which means a significant difference between experiment average and control average. Based on the test result in the experiment class, it can be assumed that there is an enhancement of the average percentage of students' critical thinking from 63% to 84%. Thus, it can be concluded that inquiry learning model can increase the students’ achievement and critical thinking.
