Materi Karakteristik dan klasifikasi makhluk hidup merupakan materi IPA yang memerlukan pemahaman konseptual sekaligus kegiatan pengamatan dan identifikasi terhadap objek makhluk hidup. Kegiatan pembelajaran pada materi ini dapat dilakukan melalui berbagai lingkungan belajar, baik di dalam kelas maupun di laboratorium IPA. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh penggunaan laboratorium IPA terhadap hasil belajar siswa kelas VII SMP Negeri 5 Tarakan pada materi karakteristik dan klasifikasi makhluk hidup. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain quasi experiment tipe nonequivalent control group design. Sampel penelitian terdiri atas kelas VII A sebagai kelas eksperimen berjumlah 25 siswa dan kelas VII B sebagai kelas kontrol berjumlah 25 siswa di SMP Negeri 5 Tarakan. Kelas eksperimen melaksanakan kegiatan praktikum di laboratorium IPA, sedangkan kelas kontrol melaksanakan kegiatan praktikum di dalam kelas. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui tes hasil belajar berupa pretest dan posttest, serta lembar observasi keterampilan psikomotorik. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji normalitas, uji homogenitas, uji linearitas kovariat, dan uji ANCOVA dengan bantuan SPSS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara deskriptif rata-rata hasil belajar kelas eksperimen sebesar 77,40, lebih tinggi dibandingkan kelas kontrol sebesar 66,84. Selain itu, rata-rata keterampilan psikomotorik kelas eksperimen sebesar 75,40, dan nilai rata-rata kelas kontrol sebesar 70,40 dengan kategori baik. Namun, hasil uji ANCOVA pada variabel kelas memperoleh nilai signifikansi sebesar 0,380 > 0,05, sehingga H₀ diterima dan H₁ ditolak. Dengan demikian, penggunaan laboratorium IPA tidak memberikan pengaruh yang signifikaan terhadap hasil belajar siswa secara statistik pada materi karakteristik dan klasifikasi makhluk hidup. Meskipun demikian, penggunaan laboratorium IPA tetap dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai sarana pendukung pembelajaran dalam memberikan pengalaman belajar langsung dan mengembangkan keterampilan psikomotorik siswa.

ANALYSIS OF STUDENTS' CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS ON THE TOPIC OF LIVING ORGANISMS CLASSIFICATION THROUGH THE ACTIVE LEARNING METHOD Abstract This study aims to analyze the critical thinking skills of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 12 Tarakan on living organisms classification topics by implementing the active learning method. Critical thinking is one of the essential 21st-century skills that should be nurtured in the learning process, particularly in science education. The Active Leaming method was chosen because it allows students to be directly involved in experiencing, analyzing, and drawing conclusions about the concepts they study through hands-on learning This research employed a descriptive design with a quantitative approach. The study subjects were students of classes VII.1 and VII.2 at SMP Negeri 12 Tarakan in the 2024/2025 academic year. Data collection techniques were through observations, interviews, and open-ended test questions designed to assess various indicators of critical thinking skills, including interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference, explanation, and self-regulation The findings revealed that students' critical thinking skills fall into the good to very good category, with an average indicator achievement rate of 82.3%. The use of active learning methods has proven effective in increasing students' active participation and supporting the development of critical thinking skills, especially in understanding the material on the classification of living things. This study recommends the application of active learning methods consistently in order to create a fun and meaningful learning atmosphere.
