Abstract

Abstract CT skills are one of the skills required by students in facing the real world problems in 21 st century era. They can be trained by using several approaches in science learning context. However, there is a little study focused to investigate the impact of IA toward CT skills. This present study investigated the implementation of IA to enhance students’ CT skills. The experimental study, which was one group pretest posttest design, has been conducted to garner data from participants. There were 36 students (grade XI) who contributed as participants and they came from one public senior high school in Indonesia. In order to obtain data, an instrument related to CT skills was developed dealing with physics concepts. This finding revealed that students’ CT skills enhanced in medium category based on normalized gain (N-gain). A consideration of the implication of this present study is a deep insight in students’ CT skills in Indonesian high schools.
