The Impact

This study aims to describe the impact of online mentoring activities in implementing the RADEC (Read, Answer, Discuss, Explain, and Create) learning model on the competence of elementary school teachers in training students’ critical thinking skills. The method was a pre-experiment with a one-group pretest-posttest design involving 25 elementary school teachers in Indonesia. The teachers received online mentoring in implementing RADEC learning model. The research instrument was a questionnaire to measure teachers’ knowledge and skills in training critical thinking. The data processing technique was carried out by calculating the mean and the percentage of each item to obtain a description of the teachers’ knowledge and skills in training students’ critical thinking before and after treatment. The data were analyzed inferentially with a paired sample t-test using SPSS version 22 software to see the impact of the treatment on teachers’ competence in training critical thinking. Based on the results of the paired-sample t-test, for both the knowledge and skills aspects, the probability value (sig) was 0.00 <0.05. This result means that there was a significant difference in the knowledge and skills of teachers in training students’ critical thinking skills before and after mentoring activities. The study results indicate that the online mentoring in implementing the RADEC learning model improved teachers’ competence in training elementary school students’ critical thinking skills.

AbstrakMata kuliah IPA Terpadu di IAIN Bengkulu merupakan mata kuliah baru bagi mahasiswa Tadris IPA. Hal ini dikarenakan pada tahun 2017/2018 baru ada tiga angkatan. Sehingga, hasil belajar mata kuliah ini tidak terlalu baik. Menurut wawancara dengan salah satu mahasiswa, salah satu penyebabnya adalah kesulitan mengintegrasikan komponen kimia, fisika, biologi secara bersamaan pada satu materi tertentu. Lebih spesifiknya, mahasiswa kesulitan untuk menjelaskan satu materi tertentu yang penjabarannya harus dijelaskan secara komprehensif baik dari segi mata kuliah kimia, fisika, biologi.  Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan perbaikan pembelajaran dan meningkatkan kemampuan berfikir kritis mahasiswa melalui pendekatan saintifik pada mata kuliah IPA Terpadu. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan penelitan tindakan kelas. Pembelajarannya terdiri dari dua siklus. Setiap siklus terdiri dari beberapa tahapan, yaitu; perencanaan, tindakan, observasi dan refleksi. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah observasi dan tes hasil belajar. Waktu dilakukan pada semester genap tahun akademik 2017/2018. Subjek penelitian adalah mahasiswa program studi Tadris IPA semester dua tahun akademik 2017/2018 yang sedang menempuh matakuliah IPA Terpadu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hasil belajar siswa yang dilakukan selama 2 siklus pembelajaran telah meningkat pada siklus yang ke-dua. Selain itu juga kemampuan berpikir kritis mahasiswa dalam pelaksanaan pembelajaran di matakuliah IPA Terpadu melalui pendekatan saintifik dapat terukur dan telah berhasil berdasarkan indikator keberhasilan. Increasing the Critical Thinking Ability of Tadris IPA Students through a Scientific Approach in Integrated Science Courses AbstractThe Integrated Science course at IAIN Bengkulu is a new subject for Tadris IPA students. This is because in 2017/2018 there were only three generations. So, the learning outcomes of this course are not very good. According to an interview with one of the students, one of the reasons is the difficulty of integrating chemical, physical, biological components simultaneously on one particular material. More specifically, students find it difficult to explain one particular material whose translation must be explained comprehensively both in terms of chemistry, physics, biology courses. Therefore, this study aims to improve learning and improve students' critical thinking skills through a scientific approach to Integrated Science courses. This research method uses classroom action research. Learning consists of two cycles. Each cycle consists of several stages, namely; planning, action, observation and reflection. Data collection techniques used are observation and learning outcomes tests. Time is carried out in the even semester of the 2017/2018 academic year. The research subjects were students of the 2017/2018 academic year Tadris IPA study program who were taking the Integrated Science course. The results showed that student learning outcomes carried out during the 2 learning cycles had increased in the second cycle. In addition, students' critical thinking skills in the implementation of learning in the Integrated Science course through a scientific approach can be measured and have been successful based on indicators of success.

Guided Inquiry

This study aims to produce science learning tools that are valid, practical, and effective which consists of syllabus, lesson plan, teaching material, student activity sheets, and test sheets to improve the critical thinking skills of elementary students. This research was carried out using the 4-D model of adaptation Ibrahim, M., which is define, design, developing, disseminate and tested in class V of Jiken Elementary School, Kedondong I Elementary School, Sudimoro Elementary School, school year 2019/2020 with One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. Data analysis techniques used are quantitative and qualitative descriptive. The results shows: 1) valid, according to the validity of the three validators with valid categories, 2) practical, in accordance with the level of observers seen from the activity of students increasing at each meeting and implementation of RPP, 3) effective, seen from appearing significantly different from the pretest and posttest test students' critical thinking and positive student responses. Based on the results of data analysis, it can be concluded that the development of science learning tools oriented in guided inquiry is valid, practical, and effective for improving critical thinking skills of elementary students.
