Abstract

The ability to think analytically and critically is one of the keys to carrying out education, which can make students understand comprehensive information and associate between components. However, to train the students’ analytical and critical thinking skills, their interest and excitement towards the learning process must be approached. This research was conducted to attract and increase students' interest in learning Biology and Chemistry (Integrative Science), providing an alternative or inspiration for inquiry science learning media to train students’ analytical thinking skills and creating a Learner-Centred class. The method used in this study is Research and Development (4D Model); the module design includes the Define, Design, and Development stages. Furthermore, the Two Group Randomised Experiment Method was used to test and measure the feasibility of the Kiwari Module. In this research, the parameters used to test the effectiveness of the module include the parameters to measure in terms of students' interest or excitement in learning, the use in terms of honing students' analytical thinking skills, and the use in studying Biology and Chemistry material, as well as student participation or contribution actively on learning. This study found that the module was said to be effective in increasing students' interest in learning Biology and Chemistry by up to 92%. The analytical uses of the module were scored 4.5 out of 5 by the material experts and suitable for use as a science inquiry learning media option up to 71%. The module was 70.6%, involving students participating actively in the class (Learner-Centred Class).

Abstract

Many students struggle to understand abstract physics concepts such as magnetism due to limited practical engagement and conventional teaching methods. This study aims to explore the impact of a mini lab and hands-on learning approach to magnetism on students cognitive and critical thinking abilities (CTA). The study employed a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design and was conducted in a junior high school in South Tangerang City, with 25 ninth-grade students serving as research subjects. Learning took place through six mini lab stations presenting different topics, as well as hands-on activities involving the design of a simple compass. Data were collected through cognitive and CTA tests, as well as documentation from the students' worksheets and KWL (know-want-learned) charts. The analysis revealed a significant increase in cognitive abilities, with moderate gain scores. Conversely, the increase in CTA was not statistically significant, with low gain scores. Limited time and inadequate conceptual reflection space were the main factors. These findings suggest that mini labs and hands-on approaches effectively build conceptual understanding, but strategies are needed to optimize the development of students' CTA
