Abstract

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is an effective model for developing students' critical thinking skills in addressing geosphere-related problems. The application of the PBL model provide interactive educational content that supports analysis and problem solving on seismic materials.  This study examines the impact of integrating Google Sites into PBL on students' critical thinking, with a focus on seismic phenomena, a critical topic in geography education. The research was carried out in Madrasah Aliyah Negeri (MAN) 1 Malang using the post-test control group design design with experimental class X.C and control class X.E. Critical thinking tests have been tested for validity and reliability using critical thinking indicators adapted from Irmawati. Independent sample t-test results with Sig. (2- tailed) are 0,000 or < 0.05 and the ratio of critical thought skills in experimental classes is higher than in control class. The findings indicate a statistically significant improvement in critical thinking skills for students in the experimental group (PBL with Google Sites) compared to the control group (conventional methods). The integration of the PBL model with Google Sites promotes ongoing student collaboration and enhances critical thinking skills in analyzing real-world seismic issues.

Abstract

Spatial thinking skills are essential for interpreting geographic relationships, critical for understanding spatial regions and for applications in emergency response and disaster preparedness. Given that Indonesia experiences frequent natural disasters, especially earthquakes, it is crucial to understand self-rescue strategies and disaster education. The Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model is one approach used to enhance spatial thinking abilities. The aim of this research is to examine the impact and effectiveness of the Problem-Based Learning model supported by emergency response simulations. This study is a quasi-experimental research using a quantitative approach. Data collection was conducted through a standardized final assessment specifically designed to measure spatial thinking abilities. Class selection was based on students' summative scores from prior geography lessons, ensuring baseline comparability in academic performance related to spatial skills. Classes with similar scores were chosen for the study, and the experimental and control groups were determined by a random draw. The research findings show that the use of the PBL model based on emergency response simulations has a significant impact on students' spatial thinking skills, with a significance value of 0.047. The findings also indicate that the effectiveness level of the simulation-based PBL is 69%, which is considered moderately effective. Among the spatial thinking parameters assessed, location emerged as the most significantly impacted, highlighting its critical role in disaster-oriented spatial understanding.
