Abstract
The purpose of this study was describing effectiveness rate of learning material by ICT-based Guided Inquiry Model in training critical thinking skill and science literacy junior high school student. Before being tested to junior high school students, the developed learning material was assessed by expert for the validity rate. It was known that the developed learning material was very valid. Then, the learning material was tested on 30 seventh-grade students of SMPN SATAP Kenduruan, Tuban, East Java, batch of 2017/2018. This data was obtained by critical thinking and science literacy test method. The result of this study showed that the average of pretest was 39.9 point (very less critical) and the average of posttest was 75.5 point (critical) by N-gain score was 0.7, categorized as high score. That result could explain us that critical thinking skill of students in SMPN Satap Kenduruan was increased, from very less critical to critical. So, it can be concluded that learning material by ICT-based guided inquiry model was effective for training critical thinking skill and junior high school students’ science literacy.
