This study examined the effect of structured exercises through discovery learning models on the critical thinking skills of 10th grade science students in Pangkep, Indonesia. The study used a quasi-experimental design comparing an experimental class that received discovery learning with structured exercises to a control class that received discovery learning without structured exercises. Both classes took a post-test to measure critical thinking skills. Analysis found the experimental class scored slightly higher on average, but statistical testing found no significant difference between the groups, indicating that structured exercises did not significantly impact critical thinking skills.

Achmad Zulkifli, 2017. Effect of Structured Exercise through Discovery
Learning Model Types againts Critical Thinking Skills Class X MIA Negeri SMA 4 Pangkep. Study on Basic Material of Chemical Bonding. Chemistry Department. Faculty of Math and Science. Universitas Negeri Makassar (guided by Sugiarti and Pince Salempa).
This research is experimental research with quasy experiment method
which aims to know the effect of structured exercise through discovery learning model types againts critical thinking skills class X MIA SMA Negeri 4 pangkep academic year 2016/2017 on subject matter of chemical bond. The research design was used posttest only control group design. The population of this study is the students of class X MIA SMA Negeri 4 Pangkep consisting of three classes. Sampling is done randomly. The classes chosen as the research sample are class X MIA 2 as experimental class which each of them is 25 students and X MIA 3 as the control class which each of them is 26 students. The independent variable in this study is structured exercise through discovery learning model and discovery learning model without structured exercise. The dependent variable is the critical thinking skills. Retrieval of critical thinking skils data is done by giving posttest. The learning result data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The results of the analysis showed the average percentage of achievement critical thinking skills experiment class is 73,25% which are included in high category and control class is 67,4% which are included in the medium category. The results of hypothesis testing using mann-whitney earned value Zcout = 1,30 at the level of trust 0.05 and Ztable = 1.64. Therefore Zcount < Ztable, it means H1 is rejected and H0 accepted. It shows that there is a no effect of giving structured exercise through discovery learning model againts the critical thinking skills.
