Abstract

Critical thinking studies were mostly aimed at improving critical thinking skills and placed a critical thinking disposition as a nurturing effect. Thus, critical thinking disposition is rare to practice including in learning Biology. Meanwhile, critical thinking disposition is required so that students are willing to consistent think critically. The studies also showed that the critical thinking disposition truth-seeking subscale scores the lowest among the six other subscales. This study tries to formulate a model of learning that fosters critical thinking disposition truth-seeking subscale. The method applied is literature study and study of previous research. Truth-seeking Learning Model is a model designed to be able to answer the above problems. The model is based on two existing learning models and various psychological theories. The psychological theories used are constructivism, social learning theory, Gestalt psychology, and motivational theory. The model consists of six phases, i.e., exposing issues and encouraging curiosity, guiding problem identification, guiding the collecting information process, reformulating issue and presenting results, evaluation and reflection, and integration.
