Abstract

Critical thinking skills are essential competencies in 21st century education, but they are often underdeveloped in geography learning due to the lack of contextualized learning approach. In addition, the lack of integration of local wisdom values in the learning model contributes to the low involvement and meaning of students to the material. This study aims to develop a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) learning model based on Sasak local wisdom to improve students' critical thinking skills in Tourism Geography subjects. The research used a Research and Development (R&D) approach modified from the Borg & Gall model. Data collection techniques include expert validation, limited trials, and critical thinking tests. The results of expert validation showed that the model had a very good level of feasibility with an average percentage of feasibility above 90%. Meanwhile, the critical thinking test results showed a significant increase from the pre-test average score of 62.40 to 84.20 in the post-test. These findings indicate that the application of the Sasak local wisdom-based PjBL model is able to improve students' critical thinking skills through a contextual, collaborative, and culture-based approach. The results of this study have implications for enriching the types of geography learning methods that are oriented toward strengthening local values and developing 21st-century skills.

Abstract

The development of students’ higher-order thinking skills, particularly critical and creative thinking, remains a significant challenge in tourism geography learning, which is often dominated by conventional and less contextual instructional approaches. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of project-based learning integrated with Sasak local wisdom in enhancing students’ critical and creative thinking skills. This research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group design. The participants consisted of 80 students divided into an experimental group and a control group. Data were collected through critical and creative thinking tests, observation sheets, and student response questionnaires. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, prerequisite tests, independent sample t-tests, N-Gain analysis, and effect size calculations. The results revealed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups (p < 0.001), with the experimental group demonstrating higher improvement, as indicated by N-Gain scores of 0.68 (critical thinking) and 0.70 (creative thinking), categorized as moderate to high. The effect sizes (d = 1.45 and 1.52) indicated a strong effect. In conclusion, project-based learning integrated with Sasak local wisdom is effective in improving students’ higher-order thinking skills. These findings imply that culturally contextualized and innovative learning models can enhance the quality of tourism geography education, particularly in fostering students’ critical and creative thinking.
