Abstract

The aim of the research is to determine the effect of the guided inquiry learning model based on flipped classroom on the critical thinking skills of seventh grade students in science learning. The research method used is a quantitative method with a pretest posttest nonequivalent control group design. The population of this study was all seventh grade students of Junior High School 1 Kebakkramat in the 2024/2025 academic year. The sampling technique used was cluster random sampling. Class VII A was selected as the experimental class, while class VII B was selected as the control class. The data collection technique used a test method in the form of essay questions to measure critical thinking skills. The data analysis methods used were the Shapiro Wilk test, Levene test, independent sample t-test, and n-gain test using SPSS version 25. The research results obtained were from the independent sample t-test showed that the application of the guided inquiry learning model based on flipped classroom had an effect on critical thinking skills with a significance value of less than 0.05 (0.004 <0.05). The n-gain test obtained a value of 0.56 in the experimental class with a moderate category and the control class with an n-gain score of 0.44. Based on the test results, it can be concluded that H0 is rejected while H1 is accepted. The implementation of the flipped classroom-based guided inquiry learning model has a significant effect on students^ critical thinking skills. The flipped classroom-based guided inquiry learning model can be used to hone and develop students^ critical thinking skills, so this research can be used as a consideration by teachers and other researchers to implement the flipped classroom-based guided inquiry learning model.
