Abstract

Critical thinking skills are essential 21st-century competencies that should be developed from elementary education. However, students often struggle with higher-order thinking, worsened by the lack of engaging and contextual learning media. This study addresses the issue by developing interactive educational comics based on local culture through a fun learning approach to enhance students’ critical thinking. The study aims to produce learning media that are valid, practical, and effective in supporting arts and culture education while improving critical thinking skills. Using a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model (analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation), the research involved 71 fourth-grade students from SDN Bajo and SDN Wadukopa. Instruments included validation sheets, critical thinking tests, and questionnaires for teachers and students. The final analysis used a t-test and n-gain test. Results indicate the comics are valid based on expert evaluation, highly practical according to teacher and student responses, and effective in improving critical thinking. The t-test (sig. 0.000<0.05) confirmed significant differences in students’ skills before and after implementation, while the n-gain test showed a 96% increase. Thus, the interactive educational comic proves to be a feasible and impactful medium for developing critical thinking in elementary students.

Abstract

Students’ critical thinking skills in expository-text learning require further development because classroom instruction tends to remain teacher-centered and relies on single-mode verbal texts. This study aimed to analyze the improvement of students’ critical thinking skills through the implementation of interactive learning based on multimodal texts. The study employed a Classroom Action Research design based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model and was conducted in two cycles involving 20 students. Each cycle comprised planning, action, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through tests, observations, and documentation and were analyzed using descriptive quantitative and interactive qualitative techniques. The results showed gradual improvements in both mean scores and classical learning mastery. The mean score and mastery percentage increased from 56.15 and 25% in the pre-cycle stage to 70.40 and 50% in Cycle 1 and to 80.85 and 90% in Cycle 2. These improvements were associated with the use of written texts, images, infographics, audio, and video as interconnected sources of information analyzed through discussions, stimulating questions, feedback, and instructional scaffolding. Therefore, interactive learning based on multimodal texts can improve expository-text instruction and descriptively enhance students’ critical thinking skills, although the findings remain contextual to a single classroom.
