Abstract


Abstract: This study aimed to examine an increase in students' critical thinking in biology following the implementation of the Reading Concept Mapping-Team Quiz (Remap-TQ). The study employed a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design. The research population contained all eleventh graders from seven science classes at SMAN 2 Tanggul Jember, East Java, and the total number of respondents was 105 students. This study's critical thinking indicators include applying, evaluating, using data to develop critical insight, analysing, and synthesising. The analysis showed that the Remap-TQ students achieved better than the TQ and conventional students in terms of critical thinking, indicated by their posttest mean score of 84.29. The findings from this study suggest that Remap-TQ can be used as an alternative learning strategy to improve students' critical thinking in biology.
