 Discussion Result
Based on the results of research conducted at SMP Negeri 4
Bongan Kutai Barat, the results of the questionnaire and TOOLS AND MATERIALS
interviews that have been disseminated to the research sample
and research results related to the tools used by the teacher at the Tool : books and other stationery
time teach in tables 1 and 2. The results of research that have Material : some information from the journal
been carried out with quantitative research types and descriptive
approaches in SMP Negeri 4 Bongan Kutai Barat, East
Kalimantan. Where the problems that often occur are related to
ability problems students' critical thinking when studying Natural
Sciences in Biology, specifically the material of the human
digestive system. As for some factors that affect students' ability
to think, namely the initial activities before the learning process
takes place, it is because teachers are not creative enough to
initiate learning so it does not attract students' interest to learn.
That matter causing students' thinking skills to decrease, learning
material, often becomes a confusion of students when learning
because of the lack of clarity and incomplete material available
to students supported by teacher explanations that are less clear
