Abstract

The learning process in the 2013 curriculum has accommodated learning models that demand and facilitate Critical Thinking skills, but the role of teaching materials namely the Student Worksheet (LKPD) used in the learning process is still lacking in facilitating Critical Thinking skills students. With the existence of quality LKPD, it is expected that learning will be able to achieve the 2013 curriculum objectives. This type of research is a research development with the stages of expert review, one to one evaluation, and small group evaluation. The subjects of the small group evaluation were six students of class XI MIA 2 in SMAN 9 Banjarmasin. The results of the study show the effectiveness of expectations based on the assessment of the critical thinking skills of the participants enjoyed in working on the LKPD which has very good categories (including interpretation, analysis, evaluation, and self-regulation) and good categories (including inference and explanation). Interpersonal (collaborating) and intrapersonal (meticulous) skills of students have excellent categories.
