Abstract

The aim of this study is to know The Influence of Application Science Technology Community (STM) learning model to critical thinking skill and students learning achievement in Sosial Science at SMP Negeri 1 Penebel. The population of this study is all of the year IX students of SMP Negeri 1 Penebel in 2017/2018 period. There are 249 students in eight of classes. By sampling randomly, the students in year IXB was selected as the experiment class and year IXA was selected as the class control which is consist of 32 samples and 30 samples of students. The data was collected by test. Then, the data was analysed by “Anava and Manova” one way with F test. The results of the study are : (1) there is difference of students achievement of the students that study with STM Learning Model from the students that study with conventional learning model by result Fhitung = 84,437 (p = 0,000 < 0,05), (2) there is difference of critical thinking skill of the students that study with STM Learning Model from the students that study with conventional learning model by result Fhitung = 50,209 (p = 0,000 < 0,05), (3) there is difference students achievement and critical thinking skill of the students that study with STM learning model from the students that study with conventional learning model by result F- Wilks' Lambda = 43,569 (p = 0,000 < 0,05). Based on the result of the study can be conclude that STM Learning Model and conventional learning model have influence significantly to the students achievement and critical thinking skill of the students year IX at SMP Negeri 1 Penebel in separately or simultaneously. Thus, STM Learning Model can be the one of alternative learning model for Social Science in SMP.
