Abstract

Analytical thinking is a complex skill because it uses element of knowledge, understanding thinking. The skill is essential in learning excretory system which demands them to understand the concept, principle and application in life. This research was carried out to investigate the students’ analytical thinking in doing excretory system concept. Method used was quantitative descriptive with 120 students as the subject. The instrument used was test based on total score in every indicator. The result showed that students’ error percentage in doing the items in every indicator of analytical thinking was: 10.5 % Examining Ideas, 14% Identifying Argument, and 25.5% Analyzing Argument. Therefore, it can be concluded that students’ analytical thinking skill was relatively low. Therefore, teachers must train students to do analytical questions or use appropriate strategy.
