Critical thinking (CT) is essential in science education to enable students deeply understand scientific concepts and apply their knowledge solve complex real-world problems. Despite its importance, a notable gap remains the availability of instruments designed measure CT specific topics. This study addresses this by testing accuracy an instrument for assessing secondary students’ related human circulatory system, focusing on six APA-defined indicators: interpretation, analysis, inference, evaluation, explanation, self-regulation. The was conducted Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, involved 445 8th-grade from urban, middle, rural schools. Data were collected through online test administered collaboration with teachers after had completed topic. Using Rasch model data analysis improved consistency instrument. Results showed that self-regulation subskill lowest mean score, highlighting it as priority development. At same time, interpretation highest particularly level 4 rating category, making most mastered skill. These findings underscore need educators develop targeted learning strategies enhance skills adapt them other topics similar complexity system.

Research Trends on Critical Thinking Skills Development in Elementary and Secondary Science Education in Japan

Journal of Research in Science Education, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 65(2), P. 263 - 277

Published: Nov. 29, 2024

日本の初等中等理科教育における批判的思考力の重要性については比較的早い段階から指摘されており,今後もその育成が求められている。これまでにも批判的思考力の育成を図った研究は数多く行われている。しかし,それらを総括的に把握し,成果と課題を明らかにしたものはない。そこで本研究では,日本の初等中等教育の理科授業における批判的思考力の育成を図った研究の動向を明らかにするためにレビューを行った。その結果,小学校を中心に様々な校種で実践されており,多くの授業実践が,「練り直し系」「スキル系」といった観点から指導を行っていること,「合理性」「反省性」といった批判的思考力の構成要素を育成できていることが明らかになった。一方で,小学校中学年や第2分野での授業実践は少なく,今後,研究を蓄積していくことで批判的思考力の発達段階を明らかにしたり,領域固有性の特徴を踏まえて批判的に思考する力を育成したりすることが望まれる。また,「導入アプローチ」も視野にいれながら「懐疑性」など批判的思考力の多様な構成要素を育成する指導方法の開発も望まれる。そして,批判的思考力を測定する平行テストもいまだ作成されておらず,その作成が今後期待される。
