Abstract

Research has been conducted on the feasibility of the Scientific Critical Thinking (SCT) model to improve critical thinking skills and self efficacy of PGSD students in colloidal material. The syntax of the SCT model is 1) student orientation, 2) scientific activity, 3) presentation of results of scientific activities, 4) completion of critical thinking task, and 5) evaluation. This research is development research to determine the practicality and effectiveness of the prototype SCT model in learning Colloidal material. The study subjects were PGSD students in 2017/2018 with a total of 75 people. The research instrument used was critical thinking adaptation instruments from Facione and self-efficacy adaptation instruments from Users & Fajares. The results of the study revealed that the feasibility of the SCT model show a very good category (87.02%), student activity in learning show a very active category (85.71%), there is an increase in critical thinking skills (mean N-gain = 0.86 / high) and self-efficacy of prospective teacher students is mean N-gain = 0.79/high. Thus, the SCT model has met the requirements of practicality and effectiveness as a prototype of a mode.
