Abstract

This research aims to: analyze the effect of the inquiry learning model on the critical thinking skills of seventh grade students at the Langsa State Junior High School and determine the interaction between the learning model and KAM on the critical thinking skills of seventh grade students at the Langsa State Junior High School. This type of research is a quasi-experimental research. The experimental class is class VII.2A, which consists of 32 students and the second roll of paper as the control class is class VII.5B, which consists of 32 students. The results showed that: There is an effect of the inquiry learning model on the critical thinking skills of seventh grade students at the 3 Langsa State Junior High School and there is an interaction between the learning model and KAM on the critical thinking skills of seventh grade students at the 3 Langsa State Junior High School.
