Pengaruh Penggunaan Model Pembelajaran Think - Pair- Share terhadap Keterampilan Berpikir Kritis, Hasil Belajar Kognitif Bakteriologi Mahasiswa Program Studi Pendidikan Biologi FKIP Universitas Mulawarman

Abstract:  A  quasi-experimental  study  was  conducted  in  the  Faculty  of  Teacher  Training  and  Education,  University  of Mulawarman. The learning is applied in the classroom, is expected to provide the necessary learning outcomes by learners for their life. Critical thinking skills and cognitive learning outcomes, are needed by the students, to life in the 21st century. Nevertheless, critical thinking skills and cognitive learning outcomes is still volatile and tends to decline in the last three years,  especially in subjects Bacteriology, the students of Biology Education Faculty of Teacher  Training  and  Education,  University  of  Mulawarman.  Application  of  Think-Pair-Share  (TPS)  learning model, allowing students to interact with fellow students, and mutually reinforcing and complementary. The  aims of research is to know:  1) the effect of the use of TPS learning model to critical thinking skills of students, 2)the effect of the use of TPS learning model to student’s bacteriological cognotive learning outcomes on bacteriological.  The  sample    is  the  student  of  Biology  Education  who  took  a  course  of  bacteriology  in  the  second  semester  of academic year 2014/2015, which consists of thirty pairs. Sampling is by purposive sampling. Measuring tools such as critical thinking skills, and bacteriological cognitive learning outcomes test. The data analysis using the t test for paired samples. The t test results showed that for the critical thinking skills t value = 3.7, while t table with df = n1+n2-2 = 60-2 = 58, with α = 0.05 is 2.0; so t hitung˃t table. While for the cognitive learning bacteriology, t = 1.8, while t table with df = n1 + n2-2 = 60-2 = 58, with α = 0.05 is 2.0; so t hitung˃t table. Thus it can be said that there is the effect of the use of TPS learning model to critical thinking skills; but has no effect on the student’s bacteriological cognitive learning outcomes. Students have the opportunity to interact with fellow students, discuss, and complementary, in solving the problem of Bacteriology in the classes that implement TPS learning model.
