Development of Junior High School Physics Science Teaching Materials Based on Critical Thinking Skills

Abstract

This research is development research with Rowntree product development model which produced Physics teaching the material in junior high school. The purpose of this study was to produce learning media in the form of valid and practical teaching materials on pressure material and its application in daily life. The subject of the research was the teaching materials for Junior High School physics subject based on critical thinking skills. Indicators of critical thinking skills used in this study are providing basic explanations, building basic skills, concluding, making further explanations, and strategies and tactics. The results of the one-to-one-evaluation through a questionnaire given to teachers obtained an average score of 4.33 and the average score of participants divide 4.72. Both the teacher and the students stated that Physics teaching materials on pressure and its application in daily life based on the critical thinking skills category are very practical. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the learning media in the form of teaching materials that are developed based on critical thinking skills on the pressure material and its application in daily life is suitable for use in learning physics in junior high school.
