Daftar Isi:
  • The aim of this research was to find out the influence of discovery learning model toward students’ critical thinking ability. The research design was pretest-posttest non equivalent. The samples of this research were the students of class VIID and VIIA SMP Kartika II-2 Bandar Lampung who were chosen by using purposive sampling. The quantitative data were obtained from the average score of pretest, posttest and N-gain which was tested by using T-test and U-test. The qualitative data were the students learning activities which were analyzed by descriptive analysis had an increase viewed from the average of N-gain of experiment class was 57,08. It is significantly different from control class was 25,33. The average of increase of students’ activity from the indicator of giving a simple explanation, building the basic creativity, giving further explanation and concluding had high criteria. It could be assumed that the learning using discovery learning model has an influence in increasing students critical thinking ability in the basic competence of the characteristic living creature.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh discovery learning terhadap kemampuan berpikir kritis.
