Enhancing Critical Thinking Skills in Chemistry Education: A Solution for the Future of Learning

In an era that increasingly demands critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, critical thinking skills have become one of the key competencies students must possess, particularly in chemistry education. As a chemistry teacher, I recognize that the process of learning chemistry is not just about memorizing formulas and concepts, but also about how students can develop critical thinking skills to solve complex real-world problems.

In my scientific article, I discuss various approaches and strategies that can be used to enhance critical thinking skills in chemistry education. Some of the methods outlined in this article include Project-Based Learning (PjBL), Problem-Based Learning (PBL), structured group discussions, and the use of relevant contexts aligned with the learning materials.

This article not only offers theoretical solutions but is also supported by research findings that show the positive impact of implementing these learning models in the classroom. With the right approach, we can help students think more critically, analytically, and creatively when solving chemistry problems, while preparing them to face challenges in the workplace and in everyday life.

For more detailed information and in-depth discussion, feel free to read my full article, titled 

Efforts to Develop Students' Critical Thinking Skills in Chemistry Learning: Systematic Literature Review

published in Jurnal Penelitian Pendidikan IPA (JPPIPA) UNRAM. The article also includes practical examples that can be applied in your chemistry classroom.
