Analysis of mathematical critical thinking skills with visual learning styles in vocational high school

Abstract

Critical thinking is used as an assumption in solving problems and can be used to take appropriate provisions. In solving this problem, students use learning styles as a learning method. The purpose of this study is: (1.) Describe students' critical thinking skills on interpretation indicators based on visual learning styles. (2.) Describe students' critical thinking skills on analytical indicators based on visual learning styles. (3.) Describe students' critical thinking skills on evaluation indicators based on visual learning styles. (4.) Describe students' critical thinking skills on inference indicators based on visual learning style. Descriptive qualitative techniques are used in this research. Three students in the visual learner category became the focus of the study. This study used data collection techniques in the form of observation, giving learning style questionnaires to class X AKL 3 students to take research subjects, documents in the form of learning outcomes, and interview documents. The triangulation method ensures the reliability of the data used. Data validity using triangulation techniques. Data analysis techniques used are data reduction, data presentation, and verification. This research resulted in the following:: (1.) The interpretation ability of visual learning style students has an excellent category, which is at a percentage of 91.67%. (2.) The analytical ability of visual learning style students has a good category, which is at a percentage of 75%. (3.) The ability to evaluate students' visual learning styles has a good category, which is at a percentage of 72.92%. (4.) The inference ability of visual learning style students has a less category, which is at a percentage of 39.58%.
