Abstract

This research was to know the level of students' critical thinking and science process skill after applyingthe problems solving method. Themethod used in thisresearch was pre-test and post-testnon-equivalent control group design. Sample of this research is the students of Junior High School in Medan.Class VII 1 was as the experimental group and class VII 2 was as the control group. Test instruments and statistical analysis collected the data. The tests of this research areanalysis of variance test, normality test and homogeneity test.The result of the research showed that (1) there are difference of critical thinking and science process skills among learners who learn to use problem solving method with learners who learn by using conventional learning method in experiment class (62%) and in control class (38%) (2) There is an increase of approximately 24% in the experimental class.
