Title
Increasing Students Critical Thinking Skills And Learning Motivation Using Inquiry Mind Map
Abstract
Critical thinking skills are essential to have to analyze, find relationships, evaluate, solve problems, and make decisions. Promoting the student's critical thinking skills could be done by including critical thinking learning in a learning environment. However, to increase this skill could be achieved, it required the motivation to learn. This study aimed to improve critical thinking skills and students' motivation by implementing inquiry mind maps. The study used a quasi-experimental group with a non-equivalent control-group pretest-posttest. The experimental class used an inquiry mind map, whereas the control class requires that conventional learning. The sample consisted of 206 students from different schools and different genders. Data on critical thinking skills used essay tests. Motivation data learning was taken from instrument motivation toward science learning. Data of critical thinking skills and learning motivation analyzed using ANCOVA. The research findings show that there were differences in the ability to think critically and students' learning motivation using an inquiry mind map tool. The results also examined no difference between school and gender on critical thinking skills and learning motivation. The study results show that the inquiry mind map tool was an impact on increasing critical thinking skills and learning motivation. It was recommended to develop more other learning tools and a learning model to improve critical thinking skills. Some implications were also provided in the article.
