Abstract

The goal of this study was to determine: 1) whether there is a correlation between science process skills with critical thinking skills, 2) whether there is a correlation between the comprehension of physics concept with critical thinking skills, 3) whether there is a correlation between science process skills and the comprehension of physics concept together with the critical thinking skills on Newtons Law. This research is a correlation study between three variables using correlation product moment and multiple correlations. The population was all students of Mathematics Education Study Programme of STKIP Singkawang taking Fundamental Physics 1 in Academic Years 2017/2018. Due to consists of only one class, then the sampling technique used was saturation sampling. The instruments in this study werw multiple-choice test with reasoned respectively of 10 questions to measure science process skills, the comprehension of physics concept , and critical thinking skills. All datas were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis techniques. Research hypothesis testing conducted at significance level α = 0.05, show that 1) There is a correlation between science process skills with critical thinking skills, demonstrated by correlation coefficient rX1Y = 0.812 and partial correlation coefficient 0.704. This suggests there is a positive correlation between science process skills with critical thinking skills by 70.4%. 2) There is a correlation between the comprehension of physics concept with critical thinking skills, demonstrated by correlation coefficient rX2Y = 0.628 and partial correlation coefficient 0.321. This suggests there is a positive correlation between the comprehension of physics concept with critical thinking skills by 32.1%. 3) There is a correlation between science process skills and the comprehension of physics concept with science process skills, demonstrated by the multiple correlation coefficients R2 = 0.833. This suggests there is a positive correlation between science process skills and the comprehension of concept physics with critical thinking skills by 83.3%.
