PENGARUH MEDIA SOLAR SYSTEM SNAKES AND LADDERS (S3&L) TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN BERPIKIR KRITIS SISWA PADA PEMBELAJARAN IPA SEKOLAH DASAR

Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of a snakes and ladders media called Media Solar System Snakes and Ladders (S3&L) on students' critical thinking abilities in science learning in elementary schools. The media influence referred to in this research is to provide proof that the Solar System Snakes and Ladders (S3&L) media has an influence on students' critical thinking abilities in class VI, especially in science learning with material about the Solar System. This research is quantitative research with a quasi-experimental method that uses saturated sampling data collection techniques. This research was conducted at two schools in Cirebon City, namely SDN Penggunng 1 and SDN Kesambi Dalam, the number of samples taken was 90 populations. Data was taken using several instruments, namely interviews, documentation, questionnaires and documentation. The results of the research state that there is an influence of the Media Solar System Snakes and Ladders (S3&L) on students' critical thinking skills by proving the results of SPSS and Excel calculations. With Very High results, 18 respondents (40.00%) stated that their critical thinking abilities were very high. Compared with the previous learning results, namely Very High, there were 4 respondents (8.89%). So it can be proven by the average result (Mean) obtained previously, namely 64.22 and after treatment, namely 90.33. From the data obtained, the decision results are 3,847 > 2.014 and 0.000 < 0.05, it can be concluded that H_0 is rejected and H_1 is accepted, which means that the existence of the Solar System Snakes and Ladders (S3&L) media influences students' critical thinking abilities.
