Abstract

This study aims to develop an Augmented Reality (AR)-based Microbiology practicum guide to enhance learning quality and student engagement. AR technology facilitates understanding by presenting interactive 3D images and videos, making complex concepts like viruses more accessible and engaging for students. The research follows a Research and Development (RD) methodology comprising three stages: define, design, and develop. The practicum guide was created using vuforia, Blender 3D, Unity, and Photoshop software. A marker was designed to connect the AR components with 3D models for Android devices and incorporated into a printable guide. Validation results classify the AR-based practicum guide as highly valid, with overall validity reaching 85.8%. Specific aspects scored as follows: content (87.5%), presentation (85.7%), practicality (83.3%), language (85%), and media (87.5%). Student and lecturer responses also rated the guide as good, emphasizing its effectiveness in facilitating concept visualization and independent learning. The AR-based practicum guide significantly improves learning quality by motivating students, enabling real-life object visualization, and simplifying abstract concepts. This approach demonstrates the potential of AR technology to transform microbiology education and beyond. The developed AR-based Microbiology practicum guide is valid, effective, and tested, offering a modern, interactive approach to education. Its applications extend beyond microbiology, with potential use in disciplines like agriculture, architecture, and health sciences.

Abstract

Thinking styles represent individuals’ preferred ways of processing and solving problems, which may influence the development of higher-order thinking such as critical thinking. In the digital era, learning environments supported by technology, such as research-based electronic worksheets (e-LKPD), can accommodate diverse thinking styles and foster critical thinking. This study aimed to examine the influence of thinking styles on students’ critical thinking skills in biology learning assisted by e-LKPD. A total of 112 high school students were selected through random sampling. Data were collected using the Yanpiaw Creative-Critical Thinking Styles (YCCTS) instrument and a standardized critical thinking skills test. Regression analysis was employed to measure the relationship between thinking styles and indicators of critical thinking, including interpreting, analyzing, applying, evaluating, and concluding. The regression results indicated a significant relationship between thinking styles and critical thinking skills (p 0.05). The R² values demonstrated strong predictive power across all indicators: interpreting (82.4%), analyzing (85.7%), applying (81.6%), evaluating (85.5%), and concluding (79.9%). Students with dominant critical thinking styles showed higher scores in critical thinking tests compared to those with balanced or creative styles. These findings suggest that thinking styles can serve as predictors of students’ critical thinking performance. Moreover, the use of research-based e-LKPD provides a supportive learning environment that enhances the expression of thinking styles, thereby strengthening critical thinking skills. Integrating digital, research-based learning resources is an effective strategy to align with students’ thinking styles and promote critical thinking in science education.
