Critical Thinking Skills in Physics Learning of Students at SMAN 8 Makassar

This research aims to analyze critical thinking skills in students' physics learning at SMAN 8 Makassar. It is descriptive research employing a survey method. The research subjects are 271 students from the 10th grade at SMAN 8 Makassar, distributed across nine classes. Students' critical thinking skills are measured using a multiple-choice test instrument with indicators such as interpretation, analysis, and inference. The data collection technique used is a critical thinking skills test consisting of multiple-choice questions covering critical thinking indicators. The researcher developed these questions and underwent validation by experts and empirical validation processes. The expert validation results show that the test instrument is valid with a score above 0.75. The research results are analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis, indicating that students' critical thinking skills are still in the low category. The critical thinking skills level for interpretation is 29.97%, for analysis is 31.30%, and for inference is 38.73%. This implies that teachers must strive for innovative teaching methods to empower students' critical thinking skills. The implications of this research are expected to provide support and opportunities for teachers to improve the quality of the learning process, enabling students to develop critical thinking skills in solving physics problems and producing high-achieving students.

Hybrid discovery learning: Solutions for optimizing students' critical thinking and ICT skills on temperature fluctuations material

This research aims to optimize the critical thinking skills and information communication technology (ICT skills) of students regarding temperature fluctuations material through the implementation of a hybrid discovery learning method. The hybrid discovery learning method provides the efficacy and efficiency of the physics learning process at three Malang Junior High Schools. The type of research used was quasi-experimental with a post-test only group design. There were 143 students enrolled in this research, divided into six study groups. The experimental class consisted of 74 students, while the control class comprised 69 students. The data were collected using a multiple-choice test instrument that evaluated critical thinking skills at the cognitive level. The experimental group achieved an average score of 71.1, while the control group achieved 60.1. Furthermore, data pertaining to ICT skill was gathered through the utilization of observation sheet and questionnaires during the learning process. The Wilk’s Lambda in the Manova test gave results of Sig. (0,000) < (0,05). This demonstrates that the hybrid discovery learning model influences students' critical thinking and ICT skills. Therefore, the implementation of the hybrid discovery learning to temperature fluctuations material can optimize the learning process on the critical thinking and ICT skills.

The Influence of Javanese-Arabic Translation Methods by Tafsir Al-Jalalain towards the Students’ Mastery in Nahwu

The Arabic-Javanese translation method is one of the Arabic translation methods commonly used in Arabic language teaching and learning in pondok pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) in Indonesia. This method was considered to be able to facilitate students in understanding Nahwu. This article aimed to determine the influence of the use of Javanese-Arabic translation methods in the book of Tafsir Jalalain on the mastery of nahwu of the students and its influence. Quantitative approaches and bivariate correlational analysis were uesed. The data about the students’ mastery in nahwu was collected by using multiple choice test instruments and essays which were tested on 6th grade students of Madrasah Diniyah Islamic Boarding School Karangasem Muhammadiyah Lamongan with a sample of 20 students. The sample determination was based on a simple random sampling technique. There was a significant positive influence between Javanese-Arabic translation and the students’ mastery in nahwu, which was 0.910 on the sig. 0.000 or 0.05. In addition, based on the results of the regression linear test, an increase in the Javanese-Arabic translation score will increase the nahwu mastery score by 1,014. Hence, it could be stated that use of the Javanese-Arabic translation method helped the students in understanding the the rules of nahwu. Based on the findings, the Javanese-Arabic translation method was recommended to be applied in Islamic boarding schools with Kitab Kuning (Yellow Book) learning system, especially for Islamic Boarding Schools in Java.
