THE LEARNING TOOLS BASED ON THE REMAP TMPS MODEL (READING CONCEPT MAP TIMED PAIR SHARE) AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF STUDENTS CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS

Abstract

This study aims to improve critical thinking skills through the application of science-based learning tools REMAP TMPS model ( Reading Concept Map Timed Pair Share ). The type of research was quasi experiment with One Group Pretest-Postest design . The population in this study were all students of class VII at SMPN 4 Pujut and SMPN 6 Pujut with sampling using purpusive sampling technique so that the samples taken are class VII-A at SMPN 4 Pujut and VII-B in SMPN 6 Pujut. instruments used to measure critical thinking skills in the form of answer-question as much as 10. The results showed the average N-gain class VII-A higher than class VII-B. This suggests that REMAP TMPS-based science learning tools has effective toword student critical thinking skills.
