Abstract

The ability to think critically is a basic ability that students of this century must have. This ability is also emphasized in the Independent Curriculum which is being implemented in Indonesia. However, there is a problem, namely that the school does not have a laboratory to carry out biology practical activities. Based on these problems, the aim of this research is to develop virtual laboratory learning media with ethnoscience content in biology subjects to improve students' critical thinking abilities. This research is a type of development research (R&D) that applies the ADDIE development model. The development process involves collaboration with media experts, material experts and students. The data collection method used was test instruments and questionnaires. The analytical method used is quantitative and qualitative. The results of research by media experts show that the media is suitable for use with an assessment of 92%. The results of the material expert assessment show that the content is suitable for use with an assessment of 88%. The results of the effectiveness test show a sig value of 0.000, where there is a real difference in students' critical thinking abilities before and after treatment. The results of the N gain test show that the effectiveness of learning media in improving critical thinking skills is 47%, which is included in the medium category. It is hoped that the laboratory media developed can contribute to variations in learning media that are in accordance with the Independent Curriculum, namely including elements of critical reasoning and global diversity.

Abstract

Technological developments have changed the way students learn, many students prefer to use smartphones to study compared to using books. Learn-ing biology itself is learning that requires students to do a lot of activities so the right method used is a problem-based and experimental learning method. However, schools cannot provide all learning facilities such as practicum equipment. Therefore, teachers can use existing technology such as digital learning media to support learning. This type of research is qualitative de-scriptive research. The focus of the research is 32 student’s science majors of grade 2 high school students. Methods of data collection using interviews and using a questionnaire. The analysis was carried out in four stages: data collection, data reduction, data preconcludinging conclusions. The results of the study show that there is a great opportunity for conducting experiment-based learning with the help of a smartphone, such as using a virtual labora-tory. As many as 81% of students said that practicum would help them un-derstand biology concepts. Additionally, 94% of students use technology to help them learn. Thus using of virtual laboratories is an opportunity to over-come the lack of learning facilities and can encourage students to be more active in learning activities.
