Abstract

The student worksheets of Natural and Social Sciences developed by teachers are not yet based on learning models that can encourage students to solve problems, resulting in weak and underdeveloped critical thinking skills of students, student activities tend to be more note-taking, and learning activities tend to be dominated by memorization to master knowledge. This study aims to develop a Student Worksheet of Natural and Social Sciences based on inquiry learning to foster critical thinking skills in elementary school students. This research method uses the 4-D model development research method. Data collection techniques use validation sheets, student and teacher response questionnaires, and test questions. Validation sheets are used to obtain data on the validity of Student Worksheets, questionnaires are used to record teacher and student responses to the practicality of Student Worksheets, and Tests are used to measure students' critical thinking skills. The data analysis technique used is descriptive data analysis techniques. The results of the validation of Student Worksheets show that the average percentage of material and media expert validators is in the very valid category. At the same time, the responses of teachers and students are in the convenient category. The worksheets for students of natural and social sciences based on inquiry learning that was developed have also proven to be effective in developing critical thinking skills in elementary school students, as evidenced by the significant difference in the average value of students' critical thinking skills between the experimental class and the control class.

Abstract

Elementary school students' knowledge of this animal remains low, as reflected in the limited integration of local materials into the curriculum. This study aims to create an educational coloring book with an endemic animal theme for elementary school students as a valid, practical, and effective learning medium. The research method uses a Research and Development (R&D) approach, employing the ADDIE model across the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The methods used include observation, interviews, questionnaires, and tests. The instruments used include expert validation sheets. The trial subjects involved 37 third-grade students of SD Negeri 40 and 41. Product validity was assessed by material and media experts, practicality through teacher and student questionnaires, and effectiveness through pre-test and post-test comparisons. The results showed a very high level of validity (92.88%), very good practicality among teachers (95.0%) and students (93.0%), and significant effectiveness in increased learning outcomes (p < 0.05; N-gain = 0.58 in the medium category). Thus, this coloring book is feasible, practical, and effective, with the potential to be replicated on biodiversity themes in other regions. This research implies that teachers can utilize this medium to create an interactive and enjoyable learning environment. Furthermore, integrating themes of endemic animals can serve as a means of environmental education and local biodiversity conservation.
