Education is not only helping people exchange knowledge, but also helps people learn Lots essential skills For Life. Education, according to the Big Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI), is the process of teaching and training for change attitudes and behavior somebody or group of people to mature. According to Constitution Number 20 of 2003 concerning National Education System, goals education national is for form character and civilization a dignified nation. The goal is for enlightening life nation with develop potential participant Educate you to become a person of faith and morals noble, healthy, knowledgeable, innovative, independent, and able participate in public democratic and responsible answer. Increase ability think critical need Lots action and practice. Thinking exercises reflective is one of the method for increase ability think critical. With ponder in a way critical thoughts and experiences We alone, we can evaluate decision or argument we and look for thinking or supporting evidence or against it (According to Wahyuni, 2. Ability think critical is very important for help student get greater understanding Good about topic, create more assessment accurate, and make more decisions good. Students can use ability think critical for find underlying assumptions statement, assess existing evidence, and make convincing argument. Model learning inquiry guided is one of the effective models for push student for think critical. This model is approach purposeful instructional for increase knowledge and skills student through framework thinking, planning, and implementation. Students in this model directed for participate in a way active in the learning process. They own chance for do experiment and talk about new ideas and developing them. While role student become more dominant in the learning process, the teacher acts as facilitator who guides and directs students. This model emphasize on students do activity investigation and discover ideas and their relationships. Because they No only accept information, but also active search and evaluate information mentioned, it is hoped that matter This will increase skills think critical they. Relatedness between ability think critical with learning models inquiry guided often juxtaposed in existing research. The process in learning inquiry guided, helpful participant educate in a way structured solve problem as well as give solution effective (Abdulla, 2. This model give chance to student for increase creativity and ability analytical they. Although this model own Lots benefits, field experience show that several learning models No capable increase intelligence critical students. Learning model inquiry is something the method used in the learning process so that student have ability for ask, check, or investigate something that involves all over ability student for search and investigate in a way systematic, critical, logical, analytical, so that they can formulate alone (Lailah, 2. Think critical is a clear and directed process that is used in mental activities, such as solve problem, take decision, analyze assumptions and doing research (Afifah, 2. Other research that discusses effectiveness of learning models inquiry guided to skills think critical in proven social studies learning with there is significant difference between class that provides chance Study guided and independent with class that, compared with class that is not use chance Study guided and independent, have higher average value high. (Widiya & Radia, 2. In addition, the ability student for think critical will reduced by learning that is not push student for participate in discussion active and expressing opinion. Conventional learning, where the teacher plays a role as giver information, tends to make student become recipient passive. Ability think critical play role important in development student level basic. Thinking critical allows student for increase understanding concept, improve ability analysis, and making the right decision (Budiman. According to observation and observation researchers Previously at SMP Negeri 2 Mandrehe, teachers often use method lecture moment teaching and not fully involving student in learning and answering question Friend classmates. As a result, students tend bored with teacher's approach. Therefore that, researcher want to use method learning inquiry guided for increase ability think children moment learning. This method involve teachers to help student find concepts and principles Because of its importance ability think critical in education, teachers must own abilities that are not only can teach student but also can design and implement method learning that can be increase skills think critical student they. Teachers who have ability think critical can become role Yayasan Amanah Nur Aman Festi Memori Gulo et. | The Influence of The Inquiry Learning Model Guided to Ability Think Critical Student Class Vi in Social Studies Subject at SMP Negeri 2 Mandrehe models and facilitators who encourage student they For think more critical and in-depth. According to Fitriani . it emphasizes that principles think critical must entered to in curriculum, in particular the 4c principle, which consists of from think critical, creativity, collaboration, and Teachers who can apply principles This in the learning process they can offer student environment challenging learning where they invited for think in a way more deep and Ability think critical will achieved by students if the teacher uses a learning model with a building strategy knowledge or draft students. the process where student can trained with to explain they are in trouble life real and then do study scientific in form Work practice for look for solution from problem the. Therefore that, the role of teachers in increase ability think critical student No only limited to providing lessons. teachers must also motivate and guide student for think in a way critical and Effective teacher can make learning that is not only focus on mastery material but also skills think critical students. Skills think critical is very important for prepare student for face future challenges that require ability think critical. Therefore that is very important for teachers to Keep going increase ability think critical students and develop learning strategies that encourage ability think critical they. Ability think critical is very important for help student make more decisions good, understand topic with more well, and analyze the data with more good. With think critical, students can evaluate existing evidence, found underlying assumptions statements, and make rational and logical This is closely related with results good study Because students who have skills think strong criticism tend can control material with more good. In addition, students who have skills think strong critical can also more good in solve complex problems Because they can find various solutions and assess what is good and what is bad of each solution. As a result, increasing ability think critical student No only help they in learning but also helps they in life everyday. Improve ability think critical student can achieved through learning Knowledge Social Studies (IPS). Students taught for analyze and evaluate various phenomenon social in context history, geography, economics, and politics. Social studies learning is designed with inquiry model guided can give chance to student for involved in analysis critical problem social moment this, which will help they develop skills think level tall like analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Based on background behind this research This aim For investigate The Influence of the Inquiry Learning Model Guided To Ability Think Critical Student Class Vi in Social Studies Subject at SMP Negeri 2 Mandrehe. It is hoped that that this model will help student become more creative and active in the learning process They are expected to that study This will give significant benefits for the world of education, especially in matter increase ability think critical students in junior high school. RESEARCH METHODS Study This is study experiment pseudo, namely something method research that aims for get close data results experiment true in conditions under which control or manipulation to all over relevant variables No can fully conducted (Bakri et al. , 2. The research design applied is nonequivalent posttest-only control group design, where the sample study shared into two groups: group experiments that apply learning model inquiry guided in the Learning Process and groups control that is not use learning model inquiry guided in learning. In research This variables freedom (X) is Inquiry Learning Model Guided, variable the bound (Y) is ability think critical student. Data collection was carried out with through Test (Pretest-Posttes. This instrument validated using validity test . count > r-tabl. and its reliability test use coefficient Cronbach's Alpha (E> 0. Data analysis was performed with IBM SPSS Statistics 27.

So you can concluded there is significant difference between class experiment with control class. Discussion As has described in Chapter I regarding background behind problem, found that ability think critical student Still classified as low. Based on problem said, researchers using learning models inquiry guided in social studies learning for study the influence of learning models inquiry guided to ability think student. Study This give contribution novelty in field education, in particular in the learning model inquiry guided For grow ability think critical of the eyes Social Studies lessons. New main from study This lies in the use of learning models, but designed in a way special for stimulate ability think critical student through presentation contextual material, questions trigger think level tall. as well as activity integrated reflective. This distinguishes study This from study previously tended to utilizing learning models inquiry guided in carry out learning can trigger Spirit student in study. Research results show that students who follow learning with using a learning model inquiry guided experience improvement ability think significant critical compared to with students in class control. In context study about the influence of learning models inquiry guided to ability think critical junior high school students, some studies relevant has analyze effectiveness of learning models as teaching materials in increase skills think critical students. In addition to providing solution contextual, research this also strengthens proof empirical from study previously stated that the learning media developed in a way appropriate capable increase skills think critical students (Suparman, 2018. Lestari & Setiawan, 2. However Thus, the approach used in study This add mark more with emphasize on learning models inquiry guided that is not only convey information, but also direct student for think logical, analytical, and interesting conclusion in a way independent. This is make study This relevant Good in a way theoretical and practical, as well as own significant novelty in practice education in the field. CONCLUSIONS Based on the results of research at SMP Negeri 2 Mandrehe, there was a significant difference in learning outcomes between the experimental class that used the guided inquiry learning model and the control class that used the lecture method. The average posttest score for class Vi-1 . uided inquir. 65, higher than that of class Vi-2 . , which was 72. 85, with the average score of class Vi-1 reaching the minimum passing grade for social studies. The t-test showed a significance value of 0. 000 < 0. 05 and the t-count was in the Ho rejection area, so Ha was accepted. Thus, the guided inquiry learning model had a significant and more effective influence on improving social studies learning outcomes compared to the lecture model.
