The Influence of Differentiation Strategy, Learning Motivation on Students' Critical Thinking Skills on the Ecosystem Theme
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the influence of differentiation strategies and learning motivation on critical thinking skills of fifth-grade students of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah on the theme of Ecosystems, as well as the interaction between the two. This study used a quantitative approach with an ex post facto method. The sample consisted of 41 students from grades VA and VB. The instrument was a critical thinking skills test, and the data were analyzed using a two-way ANOVA test. The results showed that differentiation strategies had a significant influence on students' critical thinking skills (p = 0.030), which indicates the importance of implementing learning tailored to students' needs, interests, and abilities. In contrast, learning motivation did not show a significant effect (p = 0.812), as did the interaction between differentiation strategies and learning motivation (p = 0.859). These results indicate that an appropriate and differentiated learning approach has a greater influence on the development of critical thinking skills than internal learning motivation. Therefore, teachers are advised to implement adaptive and responsive strategies to optimally support students' critical thinking skills.
