A Profile of senior high school student’s critical thinking skills in physics learning

Abstract

In the 21st century, students are required to have skills, one of which is Critical Thinking Skill (CTS) in physics learning. Physics aims to master concepts and principles to solve problems by applying critical thinking skills in physics learning. This study aims to analyze the CTS profile of Senior High School (SHS) in physics learning. This current research is pre-research with 107 of 10th grade students as participants. This research was conducted in a high school in Indonesia. CTS has four indicators: interpretation, analysis, evaluation, and inference. In this study, the CTS profile of high school students in physics learning is still low. The implications of this study can be used as a bridge as clear evidence that the CTS of SHS students in physics learning is still low and needs to be leveled up.
