Abstract
In the digital era, critical thinking has become an essential skill for secondary
school students, particularly with the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
and the digitalization of science learning that emphasizes media based on
scientific articles. This research aims to explore the role of scientific articles
in enhancing students' critical thinking skills through the analysis of two
articles: slime transformation and the application of Archimedes' principle in
hydraulic pumps for car wash machines. Employing a qualitative method with
purposive sampling, data were collected through tests and analyzed using
Two-Way ANOVA. The results demonstrate that the use of articles about
Archimedes' principle in hydraulic pumps for car wash machines and changes
in slime helps students connect physics concepts with their application in real-
life problem analysis. Articles about slime proved easier to understand due to
their concrete nature, whilst hydraulic pump articles required a deep
understanding of pressure and buoyancy concepts. The difficulty level of texts
significantly influenced students' critical thinking abilities. Integration of
scientific literacy in science learning through critical reading activities and
discussion can develop students' analytical, evaluative, and inferential skills.
This research recommends the scientific article-based literacy approach as an
effective strategy for enhancing critical thinking abilities in science education
in the digital era.
