PENINGKATAN KEMAMPUAN BERPIKIR KRITIS PESERTA DIDIK MELALUI MODEL PEMBELAJARAN SEARCH, SOLVE, CREATE, AND SHARE (SSCS) BERBASIS ETNOSAINS

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengaruh model pembelajaran Search, Solve, Create, and Share (SSCS) berbasis etnosains sehingga dapat meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kritis peserta didik pada konsep pencemaran lingkungan. Sampel penelitian terdiri dari dua kelas dengan menggunakan teknik pusposive sampling. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kuasi eksperimen dengan desain penelitian nonequivalent control group design. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan nilai rerata N-gain kelas eksperimen sebesar 0,71 lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan kelas kontrol sebesar 0,27. Hasil uji Wilcoxon menunjukkan W_hitung = 0,06 < W_tabel = 95,36 maka H₀ ditolak dan H₁ diterima. Simpulan dari penelitian ini bahwa model pembelajaran SSCS berbasis etnosains dapat meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kritis peserta didik pada konsep pencemaran lingkungan. Selain itu peserta didik juga memberikan tanggapan positif terhadap penggunaan model pembelajaran SSCS berbasis etnosains.

This study aimed to examine the influence of Search, Solve, Create, and Share (SSCS) learning model based on ethnosciences in order to improve students’ critical thinking skill on the environmental pollution concept. The samples of study consisted of two classes using purposive sampling technique. The method used was quasi experiment with nonequivalent control group design. The results showed that the average value of N-gain of the experimental class was 0.71. It was higher than the control class (0.27). The result of Wilcoxon test showed that W_calc = 0.06 < W_table = 95.36, then H₀ was rejected and H₁ was accepted. The conclusion of this study was that the SSCS learning model based on ethnosciences could improve the students' critical thinking skill on the environmental pollution concept. In addition, students responded positively to the use of SSCS model based on ethnosciences.
