Process of science learning stresses on giving students direct experience to develop their competence. Therefore, teachers are required to be creative and innovative to improve students’ critical thinking. Accordingly, there is a need for a research on “The science learning based on guided inquiry integration with Numbered Heads Together (NHT) toward critical thinking skill”. This research aim to figure out of influence of the science learning based on guided inquiry integration with NHT. This research is a quasi-experimental study, with design "non-equivalent group control design". This research was conducted at September-December 2018 with samples of the experimental class (n = 40) and the control class (n = 40) at class VIII SMP N 21 Pekanbaru. The research instrument consisted of questions to test students' critical thinking skills. This shows the research instrument at a good and quality stage. The results of this study note that there are significant differences in the average value of the Post test students' critical thinking skills between the experimental class amounted to 75.00 with the control class 67.00 after the intervention (P <0.05). So that the use of Integration of guided inquiry with NHT in the learning process can improve students' critical thinking skills.

The 4C-oriented 21st century competency education consists of critical thinking and problem solving, creativity, communication skills and Ability to Work Collaboratively. Guided inquiry learning strategy combined with scratch technology is needed to train students' critical thinking skills. The study aims to determine the improvement of students' critical thinking skills after being given Guided Inquiry assisted by Scratch media on the Linear Motion concept. The quasi-experimental study with the design of one group pre-post test design was conducted in class VIII B of SMP Negeri 1 Banjarharjo in the academic year 2018/2019. The pre-test results showed that 16.67% of students were categorized quite critical to very critical and 83.33% of students in the less critical category were not even critical. The post test results showed that 91.66% of students were categorized quite critical to very critical and 8.34% of students in the less critical category were not even critical. The results of data analysis also showed an increase in students' critical thinking skills by 0.56 with moderate criteria. The application of guided inquiry learning assisted by scratch media can train and increase students' critical thinking skills on the concept of linear motion.

This study aims to improve students' critical thinking skills (CTS) in disadvantaged, outermost and foremost areas, namely in Indonesia's border elementary schools which are full of limited educational facilities. This research was conducted on science subjects in grade VI SDN 29 IDAI on the balance of ecosystems. The method used for the research is the experimental method, which is Quasi Experiment because conditions do not allow for the control class to be held. The research design is one group pretest posttest design, where before the treatment is given, the sample is first given a pretest (initial test) and at the end of the learning sample is given a posttest (final test). CTS aspects developed in this study include identifying criteria for possible answers, mentioning examples, giving reasons, and drawing conclusions. Based on the results of data analysis in the form of the results of the pre-test and post-test, there was an increase in students' average critical thinking skills, starting from 32% (less) in the pre-test to 75% (good) in the post-test. The application of discovery-inquiry method with work sheet illustrated media is also able to increase student learning outcomes to an average value of 72.38 with a graduation rate. The minimum criteria for completeness in classical is 84.62%.

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.

In empowering students’ 21st century skills, the implementation of scientific approach-based models (SAbM) is recommended. This quasi-experimental research was conducted in senior high school in which the students were comprised of different ethnics. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of SAbM on empowering students' critical thinking skills (CTS). The SAbM implemented were Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Guided Inquiry (GI), and PBL+GI combination. Furthermore, the students’ ethnics included were Javanese, Bugis, Kutai, Banjar, and Toraja. The purposive sampling was used to determine the classes employed (i.e. 11th classes from two senior high schools in Samarinda). The instrument used to collect CTS data was questions test. The data were analyzed using two-way ANCOVA. The results showed that there was no significant interaction between ethnic and learning models on the students' CTS (p = 0.219), as also shown by the main effect of ethnic types (p = 0.583). In contrast, there was a significant effect of SAbM on students’ CTS (p = 0.0005) Through this study, SAbM need to be implemented continuously as it can optimize the empowerment of students’ 21st Century skills.

<p class="16">Covid-19 spurs teachers to carry out online learning. This study aimed to analyze the improvement of students' critical thinking skills through online learning based on Android-based PhET Simulation. This research was Quasi-Experimental using one group pre-test and post-test design involving 27 students of class VIII who program science subjects at MTs Alif Laam Miim Surabaya, Indonesia. The research instrument used critical thinking skills tests that have met valid and reliable requirements. Before and after learning activities, students were given a pre-test and a post-test. The data collected was analyzed descriptively quantitatively. The results showed that there was an increase in students' critical thinking skills with an average N-gain of 0.57, in the medium category. The highest N-gain was achieved in the "interpretation" indicator, which is 0.83 in the high category and the lowest in the "analysis" indicator, which is 0.39 in the moderate category. This study concluded that learning science by using an Android-based PhET Simulation can improve the critical thinking skills of junior high school students.</p>
