Analisis Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis Matematis Siswa Berdasarkan Kesiapan Belajar

Abstract

Improved critical thinking skills are essential for students to face the challenges of the 21st century. The level of student readiness to learn is a factor that affects critical thinking skills. The concept of readiness to learn is closely related to the initial ability of students. The purpose of this study was to describe mathematical critical thinking skills based on students' learning readiness. This study used a type of qualitative descriptive research and focused on three grade VIII students of SMP Negeri 1 Mantup Lamongan as research subjects. Each student represents a different stage of learning readiness, namely: one newly developing learning readiness student, one learning readiness student is developing, and one learning readiness student is proficient. Research data were obtained from the results of cognitive diagnostic assessments, test results of mathematical critical thinking skills, interview findings, and observations. Data analysis of cognitive diagnostic assessment results was used to categorize students' learning readiness. While the analysis was carried out on the results of mathematical critical thinking skills tests and interviews, using FRISCO critical thinking ability indicators, namely Focus, Reason, Inference, Situation, Clarify, and Overview. Research findings show that there are variations in students' mathematical critical thinking skills based on readiness to learn. Students with readiness for new learning develop only meet 1 indicator, namely focus. Students with a growing readiness to learn meet 2 indicators, namely focus and reason. Students with readiness to learn have proficiently met all FRISCO indicators.
