The Students’ Critical Thinking Skills with The Implementation of Sustainability Learning to Energy Conservation and Transformation Material Based on The POE (Predict-Observe-Explain) Model

Objective:The challenges of the 21st century with massive technological developments and the energy crisis that is currently plaguing various countries around the world, including Indonesia, are a big task for the world of education to make all elements including students aware and care about the energy crisis that has hit so it is necessary to integrate in the learning process the application of sustainable learning with the POE (Predict-Observe-Explain) learning model to train students' critical thinking skills. Methode: The study employs descriptive quantitative methods. The data were processed quantitatively and then interpreted qualitatively. Result: The analysis of the data obtained a significant value on students' critical thinking skills with a fairly good category with a percentage of 52.46%, the average value of students' critical thinking skills was in the poor category with a percentage of 32%. Novelty: This study is expected to be taken into consideration in further developing the application of sustainable learning with the POE model, because this learning has novelty in developing other innovative learning. Another novelty can be found in the material taken in this study is very appropriate with the application of continuous learning POE model to train students' critical thinking skills.
