Abstract

Critical thinking is one of the important skills in the 21st century that students need
to analyze problems and find solutions. This research aims to explain the use of
comics in learning and analyze the improvement of students' critical thinking skills
on the human respiratory system material. A total of 39 class VIII junior high school
students participated in this research. A quantitative approach with a one-group pre
test and post-test design was used in this research. Research instruments include
critical thinking questionnaires, student responses to comics, and peer observations,
interviews to strengthen the findings. The research results show that the use of
comics makes students more active in asking questions and concluding learning
results. Analysis using the Wilcoxon test was used because the data was not normal
and the results showed a moderate increase in critical thinking skills. The critical
thinking instrument showed an increase in the basic specification score from 31.2
(pre-test) to 65.1 (post-test), which was higher than the inference scores of 26.2
(pre-test) and 59 (post-test). This was answered in student interviews who said that
comics were able to make learning easier for them because of the illustrations,
colors, and storylines in comics which made it easier for students to understand. In
conclusion, comics were effective as a learning medium on the human respiratory
system to improve students' critical thinking, thanks to the components such as
illustrations, pictures, colors, and storylines that support understanding.

Berpikir kritis merupakan salah satu keterampilan penting di abad ke-21 yang
dibutuhkan siswa untuk menganalisis masalah dan mencari solusi. Penelitian ini
bertujuan untuk menjelaskan pemanfaatan komik dalam pembelajaran dan
menganalisis peningkatan kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa pada materi sistem
pernafasan manusia. Sebanyak 39 siswa kelas VIII SMP berpartisipasi dalam
penelitian ini. Pendekatan kuantitatif dengan one-group pre-test and post-test
design digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Instrumen penelitian berupa angket berpikir
kritis, respon siswa terhadap komik, dan observasi teman sejawat, wawancara untuk
memperkuat temuan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan komik
membuat siswa lebih aktif dalam bertanya dan menyimpulkan hasil belajar.
Analisis menggunakan uji Wilcoxon digunakan karena data tidak normal dan
hasilnya menunjukkan peningkatan keterampilan berpikir kritis yang sedang.
Instrumen berpikir kritis menunjukkan peningkatan skor spesifikasi dasar dari 31,2
(pre-test) menjadi 65,1 (post-test), lebih tinggi dibandingkan skor inferensi sebesar
26,2 (pre-test) dan 59 (post-test). Hal ini terjawab dalam wawancara siswa yang
mengatakan bahwa komik mampu memudahkan pembelajaran mereka karena
ilustrasi, warna, dan alur cerita dalam komik memudahkan siswa untuk
memahaminya. Kesimpulannya, komik efektif sebagai media pembelajaran sistem
pernafasan manusia untuk meningkatkan berpikir kritis siswa, berkat komponen
ilustrasi, gambar, warna, dan alur cerita yang mendukung pemahaman.
