Critical Thinking Ability Analysis Beginning Teacher Candidates Of Biology in the Animal Physiology Material At Biology Education Program Fkip Sriwijaya University

Preliminary research on the analysis of critical thinking skills in student teachers biological material of animal physiology has been carried out in a country LPTKs South Sumatra Province. The study involved 39 prospective biology teachers force students 2011/2012 on biology education courses. To find out the critical thinking skills of students is done through a multiple choice written test. The data obtained were processed by descriptive. The results showed: the highest percentage of students on the topic of the respiratory system is in observing indicators and consider the results of observations (28.21 %) ; topics shown in the circulatory system focus indicator questions (46.15 %), while on the topic of system expenditur /osmoregulation indicators focusing on questions and make induction induction and consider the results (35.89 %). In this study it can be concluded that the critical thinking skills of student teachers of biology that focuses on three subjects, namely respiratory system, circulatory system and excretory systems/osmoregulation in general is low.
