ANALYSIS OF LINEAR MOTION KINEMATICS ON STUDENT'S CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS BASED ON SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY

This purpose of this studywas to analyze students' critical thinking skills on linear motion kinematics material using the Scientific Inquiry model. This type of research is a quasi-experimental. The data analysis was carried out through 7 critical thinking skills test in essay form. Before the test instruments are tested on students, expert validation tests were carried outfirst. The critical thinking skill test indicators used consist of elementary indicators of clarification, basic support, inference, advanced clarification and indicators of strategies and tactics. The results of the study showed that the average value of students' critical thinking skills on linear motion material was 60.02 and included in the sufficient category.
