Abstract

One of the essential skills for addressing challenges also competition in the 21st century is critical thinking. This study investigates the impact of collaborative problem-solving facilitated by various visual media on students’ critical thinking abilities. The study employed a pre-experimental method with a onegroup pretest-posttest design. The subjects were 76 first-semester students from the physics education program at a university in Makassar City, South Sulawesi. The instrument used for data collection was a critical thinking skills test, consisting of six descriptive items. Analysis of the normalized gain yielded a value of 0.76, indicating students’ critical thinking skills were in the high category. The Wilcoxon test results showed an asymp.sig.(2-tailed) value of 0.000, which is less than 0.005, indicating a significant difference in students’ critical thinking skills before also after the intervention. Therefore, collaborative problem-solving assisted by various visual media positively influences students’ critical thinking abilities. This approach can serve as an alternative learning strategy to enhance students’ critical thinking skill.
