Abstract

Purpose of the study: Developing an e-module based on Culturally Responsive Teaching integrated with Javanese gamelan on the material of wave vibrations for grade eight junior high school, to train students’ critical thinking skills and increase the relevance of learning to local culture. Based on the low level of students’ critical thinking skills, it can be seen in the 2022 PISA results with an average score of 383. Methodology: Research and Development with a 4-D development model (define, design, develop, disseminate). The study involved expert validation, limited trials, and field trials on students of Junior high school 6 Ngawi. Data were collected through critical thinking ability tests, student and teacher response questionnaires, and statistical tests using SPSS and Microsoft Excel. Main Findings: The e-module is feasible and effective for training students' critical thinking skills. Independent sample t-test revealed significant differences between the experimental and control groups, with the percentage of the practicality questionnaire reaching 90%, indicating a positive response from students and teachers to the e-module. Novelty/Originality of this study: The uniqueness of this research lies in the integration of physics concepts with local wisdom of Javanese gamelan in an interactive e-module. The Culturally Responsive Teaching model allows learning to be more contextual, interesting, and relevant for students, while contributing to cultural preservation through science education.

Abstract

Objective: Problem-solving skills are essential for students because they help develop logical, critical, and systematic thinking necessary for addressing challenges in both academic and real-life situations. These abilities involve several cognitive processes, including identifying problems, analyzing situations, exploring possible solutions, making informed decisions, and evaluating outcomes. Enhancing these skills is essential to prepare students to face complex situations independently and confidently. This study aims to describe the effectiveness of the CFL (Collaborative Flipped Learning) learning model in improving students' problem-solving skills. Method: This research employed a quantitative experimental approach using a one-group pretest-posttest design. Students were assessed before and after the implementation of the CFL model to measure the improvement in their problem-solving skills. Result: The findings from the experiments indicated that the CFL learning model significantly enhanced students’ problem-solving skills. The results show that students marked an improvement in recognizing and resolving problems more efficiently after participating in learning activities based on the CFL model. Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in the application of the CFL learning model specifically to the topic of temperature and heat at the junior high school level to enhance problem-solving skills. This focus has not been widely explored and offers new insights into effective science education strategies to enhance students’ problem-solving skills.

Abstract

Purpose – The purpose of this research is to find out how well students' critical thinking skills are in learning science, especially in mixed materials, by using the QODE (Questioning, Organizing, Doing, and Evaluating) and Discovery Learning models.Method – This research method applies quantitative methods. This study involved 49 students from class VIII A and VIII B as subjects with details of 25 students of class VIII A and 24 students of VIII B from SMP Negeri 2 Paron. The data analysis technique used prerequisite test analysis. The data analysis technique uses prerequisite analysis in the form of validity, reliability, normality, and homogeneity tests, while the hypothesis test uses an independent sample t-test.Findings – The QODE learning model is more effective in improving critical thinking skills compared to the Discovery Learning learning model on mixed materials at SMP Negeri 2 Paron with an average posttest value of 81.96> 78.00. The results of the hypothesis test of the posttest value proved that the tcount> ttable (1.677) while the tcount (QODE) was 2.138 and the tcount (Discovery Learning) was 2.128. This indicates a significant difference in the post-test results, which leads to the rejection of H0 and acceptance of H1 which indicates the effectiveness of the model. The result of the t-test value of QODE > Discovery Learning is 2.138 > 2.128 so it can be concluded that the QODE learning model is more effective than Discovery Learning in improving critical thinking in science lessons, especially mixed material for students of SMP Negeri 2 Paron. Research Implications – Students' critical thinking skills can be improved with QODE and Discovery Learning when learning science, especially mixed materials at SMP Negeri 2 Paron where the QODE model is more effective than Discovery Learning.
