Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the concept map learning method on students' critical thinking skills in basic chemical law material. This type of research is a quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group. The research instruments used were tests and questionnaires. The variable measured was students' critical thinking. The results showed that the concept map learning method had an effect on students' critical thinking skills. This can be seen in the average value of student responses and higher learning outcomes.. In the experimental class, there was an increase in critical thinking skills from the pretest average score of 48.31 to the posttest average score of 51.40. Meanwhile, the control class experienced a decrease from the pretest average value of 47.95 to the posttest average score of 44.40. Students in the experimental class who were treated with the concept map method experienced an increase and obtained higher learning outcomes than the control class without treatment.
