Abstract

This study explores the impact of the Dilemmas approach, rooted in transformative learning, on enhancing critical thinking skills in buffer chemistry subjects among high school students. Employing a mixed-methods design and purposive sampling, the research involved 34 eleventh-grade students from SMAN 1 Surakarta. The implementation of dilemma stories integrated with a 5E learning cycle was scrutinized using various data collection methods, including observations, student reflective journals, pretest-posttest assessments, the Constructivist Chemistry Values Learning Environment Survey (CCVLES), and interviews. Observations assessed the application of the dilemma stories and the 5E learning cycle. Pretest-posttest evaluations measured changes in students' critical thinking abilities, while reflective journals and CCVLES questionnaires captured students' perceptions of their critical thinking skills and their learning experiences. Interviews were conducted to validate the findings from the tests, journals, and questionnaires. Data analysis involved reduction, display, and conclusion-drawing techniques. The findings suggest that the Dilemmas approach significantly fosters students' ability to think critically and apply chemical concepts practically. This was evidenced by students' analyses of dilemma stories and responses in interviews, CCVLES questionnaires, and reflective journals, indicating a deeper engagement with and understanding of the subject matter through this innovative learning strategy.

Abstract

The development of learning in the 21st century emphasizes the improvement of Science Process Skills (SPS). However, the implementation of SPS has not been able to be realized by teachers due to the limitations of the teaching materials used. The data obtained shows that the average value of SPS for students is still categorized as low, which is 43.3%. This study aims to test the effectiveness of the implementation of E-module based on Problem Research Based Learning (PRBL) on students' Science Process Skills (SPS). The research method used is Quasi Experimental research with research samples of class VIII A and VIII D in one of the Surakarta State Junior High Schools. The experimental class was given an e-module based on PRBL containing material on elements, compounds and mixtures while the control class used the BSE book with an interactive lecture method. The data collection technique used a written test instrument in the form of a SPS test with a reasoned multiple choice type. The effectiveness test used was the t-test, effect size and n-gain score. The results of the t-test showed a significance value of 0.00 which means there is a significant difference between the experimental class and the control class. These results prove that there is a difference in the results of students' SPS between the experimental class and the control class. Furthermore, the results of the effect size test with a moderate effect category of 0.63 and the n-gain score test with a high category of 0.702 for the experimental class. Based on the results of the three tests, it can be concluded that the implementation of PRBL-based e-modules is effective in increasing students' SPS.
