Abstract

Problems in chemistry learning related to the three levels, namely the macroscopic, sub-microscopic, andsymbolic (representational) (Barke, 2009: 27). During chemistry learning, student’s abilities to understandthe roles of each representation level and transfer to another level is an important aspect for produce anexplanation that can be understood. The curriculum of 2013 mandates that the essence of a scientificapproach to learns through the Science Process Skills. Two-tier used as an instrument for measuringknowledge aspect because its abilities to analyze the cognitive skills of the students. Through two-tier,students just not pick the answer on items but also provide a reason for the answers are chosen so thecognitive processes can be observed and measured. As an instrument to measure the Science Process Skills, the fulfillment validity of the content becomes important. This two-tier instrument has good content validity between 0.78 to 1.0. Therefore, the scoring system that used in the examination students’ answer sheets is important part of this instrument to analyze science process skills student.

Various attempts were made by the teachers in an effort to improve the students’ critical thinking ability. One model of learning is guided inquiry. This paper talks about definition and implementation of guided inquiry as an effort to improve students’ thinking ability through research literature. The nature of the research is descriptive analysis. This paper uses philosophical and pedagogical approach. Meanwhile, the data collection uses documentation. Analisis data used in this research is content analysis (content analysis). From the analysis we may conclude that adoption of guided inquiry can be used by educators to enhance the students’ critical thinking ability.Â
