Effectiveness of Laps-Heuristic Learning With An Open-Ended Approach on Critical Thinking Ability Baiduri, Baiduri Putri, Oktavia Kurniawati Rosyadi, Alfiani Athma Putri The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of LAPS-Heuristic learning, coupled with an Open-Ended instructional approach, in enhancing the critical thinking skills of seventh-grade students in a middle school setting. The research employs an experimental methodology with a quantitative framework, specifically utilizing a posttest-only control group design. The study participants consist of seventh-grade students from classes VII A and VII C at SMP MTs Muhammadiyah 1 Malang during the 2022/2023 academic year. Data collection is achieved through a written critical thinking skills assessment. Analysis of the critical thinking ability test results is conducted using the Independent Sample T-test. The findings reveal significant disparities in the critical thinking abilities of seventh-grade students between the experimental group utilizing LAPS-Heuristic learning with an Open-Ended approach and the control group employing conventional teaching methods. Thus, it can be concluded that LAPS-Heuristic learning, when combined with an Open-Ended approach, proves to be an effective strategy for enhancing students' critical thinking skills. Keywords: critical thinking, open-ended, laps-heuristic.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.23960/jpp.v13.i3.202319  FKIP Universitas Lampung 2025-04-24 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Peer-reviewed Article application/pdf https://jpp.fkip.unila.ac.id/index.php/jpp/article/view/311 Jurnal Pendidikan Progresif; Vol 13, No 3 (2023): Jurnal Pendidikan Progresif; 1150-1161 2550-1313 2087-9849 eng https://jpp.fkip.unila.ac.id/index.php/jpp/article/view/311/183 Copyright (c) 2025 Baiduri Baiduri, Oktavia Kurniawati Putri, Alfiani Athma Putri Rosyadi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0
