Development of Critical Thinking Abilities on Linear Equation in One Variable through Learning Activities Focused on DAPIC Organizing and Think Pair Share for Grade 7 Student

Abstract

This research The objectives of this study were to study the approaches for organizing learning activities based on the DAPIC concept together with the Think Pair Share technique to promote critical thinking ability on single variable linear equations. and to study the ability to think critically about linear equations in one variable after learning activities Participants were 15 Mathayomsuksa 1 students. The researcher used the action research model for 4 action cycles. The research tools were learning activity plans. Model reflecting the results of learning management and a test to measure the ability to think critically. Data were analyzed using content analysis. and check triangular data. The results showed that management of learning in this way There are issues that should be emphasized, such as designing everyday problem situations to suit the age of the students. and encourage students to have a variety of alternative methods or concepts to make decisions that foster critical thinking abilities. Review of basic knowledge necessary to solve problems in situations and encouraging students to participate in activities and expressing their opinions rationally in class. In addition, it was found that after completing all 4 learning cycles, most students had critical thinking abilities in the high level When considering each area of ​​ability, it was found that most of the students had the ability to specify preliminary agreements. and interpretation at the highest level for the ability to infer, a priori, and evaluate arguments at a high level.
