Abstract

Physics learning is expected to provide students with the provision to grow and improve critical thinking skills. Learning that is suitable for improving critical thinking is an active learning strategy that is integrated with e-learning. The results of previous studies indicate that college students' critical thinking skills are in low category. This study aims to analyze the improvement of students' critical thinking skills through active learning strategies. The active learning strategies used are Reading guides, Concept Mapping Strategy, and Information Search Strategy. The design of this study used posttest only control group design. Students' critical thinking skills are measured using 6 essays and through student worksheets. The results showed that critical thinking skills of experiment group were higher than control group. © 2021 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
