Abstract

This study aims to describe the application of a scientific approach using guided inquiry and see the level of critical thinking skills of students in Social Statistics courses. This type of research is descriptive with a qualitative approach. Data collection methods in. This study uses observations and tests. Data obtained from 60 students. The results showed that the application of the scientific approach using guided inquiry in Social Statistics courses can be carried out following the learning steps that have been prepared with an average student activity of 80%. Student learning activities during learning are categorized as good, with details of activities observing, reasoning, trying and communicating the same category which is good, while the questioning activity is quite good. Students' critical thinking skills as a whole are classified as very good, with details that are classified as high in the aspects of identifying the assumptions given, and in good categories on the indicator of revealing data/definitions/ theorems to solve problems and evaluating aspects in solving problems.
