Abstract:
Critical thinking skills are urgent to be optimize in digital era. However, previous research shows the low critical thinking skills of students. Based on theory, the integrative models can improve students' critical thinking skills. Previous research shows that the integrative model facilitates students to be active, critical thinking, problem solving and increase their understanding. The purpose of this research was to examine the effect of applying an integrative model assisted by google classroom on students' critical thinking skills in history subjects. The research was a quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest model, non-equivalent control-group design with 66 students as a sample. Data collection used multiple choice test and performance. Data analysis used the ANACOVA test and the LSD (Least Significant Different) test with a significance level of 5% or 0.05. The results of the ANACOVA test for the performance of the two classes showed a sig. 0.000 < 0.05 and sig. 0.002 < 0.05. The result of LSD test on the performance of the control class shows the sig. 0.002 < 0.05 with a mean difference of -8.697. While the results of the LSD test data pretest and posttest control class showed a sig. 0.000 < 0.05 with a mean difference of -8.303. While the pretest and posttest of the experimental class showed sig. 0.000 < 0.05 with a mean difference of -12.303. So it can be concluded that there is a significant influence of the critical thinking skills of students who are taught with the integrative model assisted by google classroom compared to students who are taught by the discovery model assisted by google classroom.
