Abstract

This research developed an environment-based critical thinking skills test instrument for science learning in class VII middle school to answer the problem of students' low critical thinking skills in Indonesia. The aim of the research is to produce a valid and reliable instrument to measure students' critical thinking skills in an environmental context. The research method uses the ADDIE development model with a pre-experimental design (one group pretest-posttest). Research findings show that the instrument developed has high validity and reliability and is able to significantly improve students' critical thinking skills. The conclusion of this research is that environment-based test instruments are effective in measuring and improving students' critical thinking skills. The implications of this research show the importance of integrating environmental issues in learning modules to improve the quality of science education in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the need for developing a Project-Based Learning (PjBL)-based e-module on the human respiratory system to strengthen senior high school students’ critical thinking skills. The needs analysis was carried out through questionnaires distributed to students and biology teachers. Findings reveal that students frequently encounter difficulties in understanding respiratory system concepts when learning is limited to verbal explanations or textbook-based materials. Students also expressed a preference for digital learning resources equipped with visual representations, videos, practical tasks, and clearly structured learning stages. Biology teachers emphasized the urgency of providing digital media aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum that support collaborative activities and the development of higher-order thinking skills. They also agreed that a PjBL-based e-module has the potential to enhance students’ motivation, engagement, and conceptual understanding of the respiratory system. Therefore, the development of a PjBL-based e-module is considered necessary as an interactive and effective learning medium that accommodates both student and teacher needs while promoting meaningful learning and critical thinking.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop and evaluate a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) science module supplemented with Mind Maps on the topic of elements, compounds, and mixtures to enhance the critical thinking skills of eighth-grade students. The research objectives were to: 1) describe the module's characteristics, 2) examine its feasibility, and 3) test its effectiveness. The development followed the Borg and Gall procedure, comprising ten systematic steps. The module's feasibility was assessed using the Aiken’s V validity test, while its impact on critical thinking skills was analyzed using ANCOVA. The results demonstrated that: 1) The developed module possesses distinctive characteristics, integrating PBL with Mind Maps, which promotes active student engagement and provides direct learning experiences to foster critical thinking. 2) The module is highly feasible for classroom use, supported by a strong Aiken’s V validity value of 0.85. 3) The module is statistically effective in improving students' critical thinking skills. This conclusion is substantiated by the ANCOVA test results, which showed a highly significant value of p <0.001, confirming a notable enhancement in critical thinking abilities after the implementation of the module. The study successfully validates the module as a viable and effective learning tool.

Abstract

This research was to improve the prospective mathematics teachers’ writing skills in one of the universities in Indonesia. This was classroom-action research to improve students’ skills in writing research proposals. The quantitative and qualitative methods were used. Final year students were selected as the subjects. Observation sheets, questionnaires, interviews, anecdotal notes, and student final manuscripts were used as the instruments. The data were analyzed quantitatively to see improvements between cycles and learning completion. Data was also analyzed qualitatively to describe the improvements due to the TTW model after the data reduction and triangulation. The results showed that there were improvements to students’ writing skills by using the TTW model. Cycle #1 completion was 45.45%, Cycle #2 was 69.7%, and Cycle #3 was 81.82%. Students’ skills were improved because TTW provided exercises for thinking skills. TTW also improving speech skills by training students to speak in front of class forums, and improving writing skills by training the students to compile research proposals and providing opportunities to consult with teachers.
