Abstract

Abstract

The study aims to create an appropriate critical thinking skills test to assess the critical thinking skills of Newton"™s Law material in junior high. The research was obtained through the Research and Development method of Borg & Gall, it was simplified into five stages, including initial data collection, planning, product design, a small-scale trial, and revision of small-scale trials.   The research subject was23 students in Junior High School 3 Sungai Raya, Bengkayang Regency. The instrument was a multiple-choice objective test. The finding showed that within 15 items there were 5 feasible items developed based on developmental procedures, a good test quality, and details of test quality, including: (1) produces six valid items with a correlation coefficient of r count of 0,426 - 0,712; (2) produces six reliable items with a correlation coefficient of r11 of 0.607; (3) produces 10 good questions with a TK index of 0.35 - 0.70; and (4) produces 8 good items with a DP index of 0.273 - 0.727. This critical thinking ability test is expected to be one of the tools to measure critical thinking skills in learning science in junior high school.
