The One

Critical thinking (CT) is a highly valued skill, based on feedback from a wide range of stakeholders, and thus academics have long sought to embed CT into undergraduate curricula. In this study, we investigated foundation biology students’ self-efficacy of their CT skills (including three CT sub-elements), and whether such self-efficacies changed over a year of study. We also assessed students’ actual CT ability, and whether there were differences in self-efficacy and actual ability between male and female students. While students’ self-efficacy of their overall CT ability increased over the course of the year, this value was significantly lower than each of the CT sub-element efficacies, at both commencement and completion of the study. Conversely, students’ actual CT skills did not change over the year, although females scored higher than males in the one of the two units of study. We conclude that (i) there is a disconnect between our students’ self-efficacy of, and actual, CT ability; and (ii) there is a gender-based difference in their selfefficacy and actual CT ability. We recommend interventions to enhance foundation biology students’ understanding of CT and through this, improve the concordance between their self-efficacy of their CT skills and their actual CT ability.

Thinking Ability

<p>Kompetensi dalam kurikulum 2013 adalah mengembangkan kreativitas, rasa ingin tahu, kemampuan merumuskan pertanyaan untuk membentuk pikiran kritis yang perlu untuk hidup cerdas dan belajar sepanjang hayat sehingga, siswa perlu dibekali dengan kemampuan-kemampuan tertentu untuk mengembangkan dan mengevaluasi argumen dalam suatu pemecahan masalah tertentu. Salah satu kemampuan yang harus dikembangkan untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut adalah kemampuan berpikir kritis. Kemampuan berpikir kritis adalah kemampuan untuk mengidentifikasi, menganalisis, dan memecahkan masalah secara kreatif dan logis sehingga mampu menghasilkan keputusan yang tepat. Sementara itu, kemampuan berpikir kreatif dipengaruhi oleh keyakinan akan kemampuan diri yang dinamakan <em>self efficacy. </em><em>Self-efficacy </em>ini berbeda dengan aspirasi (cita-cita), karena cita-cita menggambarkan sesuatu yang ideal yang seharusnya (dapat dicapai), sedang efikasi menggambarkan penilaian kemampuan diri. Untuk mengembangkan kemampuan berpikir  kritis dan <em>self efficacy</em>, pembelajaran matematika haruslah mengarah pada soal-soal tidak algoritmik dan komplek dalam menyelesaikan suatu masalah atau tugas, dan juga tidak dapat diprediksi, pendekatan latihan yang tepat, atau petunjuk yang tegas yang disarankan oleh tugas, petunjuk tugas atau contoh jalan keluar. Soal-soal yang seperti itu dikategorikan soal <em>Higher Order Thingking</em> (HOT). Oleh karena itu, soal kategori <em>Higher Order Thingking</em> (HOT) dapat digunakan untuk mengembangkan kemampuan berpikir kritis dan <em>self efficacy </em>siswa dalam pembelajaran matematika siswa di sekolah dasar.</p>
