Effectiveness of Writing A Scientific Report "Testing Antacid Drugs That Can Neutralize Stomach Acid" for Critical Thinking Skills for Class VIII Junior High School

Abstract

Science learning is directed at increasing students' understanding and students' skills in analyzing phenomena that occur in the surrounding environment with the concept of science material. In reality, there are still many science learning processes in schools that do not pay enough attention to this.Preparation of scientific reports can be integrated into learning in the 21st century which supports improving critical thinking skills. The human digestive system material is material related to problems that occur around students and must be clarified in learning so that students' critical thinking skills improve.This research aims to improve students' critical thinking skills in compiling scientific reports through Integrated Science learning.Based on the results of this analytical research, it shows that some teachers already know the indicators of critical thinking skills according to the level of questions but rarely use them because of time constraints.
