Abstract

Critical thinking is a vital skill for success in higher education and the workforce. However, it is often inadequately emphasized in high school curricula, resulting in students lacking proficiency. Guided discovery-based modules provide a promising approach to enhancing critical thinking by fostering independent exploration and concept discovery. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a developed module in improving thermodynamics-related critical thinking skills among 10th-grade students in Boyolali Regency, Indonesia. Five schools were randomly selected, with two classes from each forming control and experimental groups. The experimental group utilized the developed module, while the control group used traditional textbooks. Validated by experts, a test was administered to evaluate students' critical thinking skills, and statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups. The developed module demonstrated superior efficacy in enhancing critical thinking skills compared to traditional textbooks. Variations in mean scores among the schools suggest the need for further investigation across diverse educational contexts. The study's outcomes have implications for teaching and learning in Indonesia and other countries where critical thinking is insufficiently emphasized in high school curricula. Ethical considerations were upheld, ensuring participant rights and confidentiality. Future research can explore the module's effectiveness in improving critical thinking across different subjects and educational settings

Abstract

The foodstuff course is one of the subjects that is closely related to the context of daily life. The learning model that has been applied by lecturers has not been able to encourage students to use science process skills optimally and produce real work. The teaching materials used also have not trained students' skills and independence in solving problems of daily life. Borax is a prohibited additive in foodstuffs. This study aims to develop borax indicators from natural substances and develop project-based student worksheets to improve science process skills. The development of natural indicators of borax was carried out using the true experimental design method. Extracts of natural indicators were tested for color change in a solution of pH 5, 7, 12 and on positive and negative borax food samples. The development of student worksheets is carried out using a 4D (defining, designing, developing, and disseminating), model and is only limited to the stage through expert review. LKM that has been developed are validated by experts. The data obtained were then analyzed descriptively. The results showed that (a) extracts from secang wood and turmeric could be used as natural indicators of borax and (b) expert assessment of aspects of student worksheets obtained results in the high and very high validity ranges. The results of the development of natural indicators of borax can be used in the development of teaching materials. The developed student worksheets are suitable for limited testing

Abstract

Critical thinking skills (CTS) are essential preparations for addressing challenges in the 21st century era. The use of traditional lecture learning models and less innovative media leads to student passivity and negatively impacts critical thinking levels. This study aims to develop a valid, practical, and effective educational Kit based on problem based learning (PBL) on conservation to enhance CTS. The research model employed is analyze, design, develop, implement, and evaluate. Data collection techniques included literature surveys, interviews, questionnaires, and tests. Qualitative data were acquired from interviews, comments form validators, as well as practical comments and suggestions from teachers and students. These were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis techniques. Additionally, quantitative data from content and media expert testing results, practicality assessments by teachers and students, as well as pretest and posttest scores, were analyzed using SPSS and percentage analysis techniques. The media validation yielded a result of 93.54%, and material validation achieved 94.78%, both falling within the very valid category. In the practical aspect involving teachers and students, the results reached 93.76%, demonstrating a high level of practicality in the applied learning criteria. The pretest and posttest results of the students revealed a discernible difference. The N-gain test, gauging the difference between the two, indicated a moderate improvement. The highest increase was observed in the inference indicator with a score of 0.67, while the self-regulation indicator showed the lowest improvement at 0.34. In conclusion, the educational Kit based on PBL was found to be valid, practical, and effective in enhancing CTS

Abstract

Pre-service physics teachers (PSPTs) should have an established argumentation skill, a recognized skill in 21st-century education, to support learning. In line with this, the study explored the argumentation skills of PSPTs using an argumentation framework, Toulmins argument pattern (TAP), to provide a clear view of the argumentation skills of the 39 PSPTs who were involved in a four-meeting science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) project. The study employed a mixed method research design in which the quantitative portion investigated the categories of TAP aspects, and the qualitative portion focused on exploring the argumentation patterns of the PSPTs. The data for this study was derived from the STEM project worksheets answered by the pre-service teachers. Quantitative analysis revealed PSPTs' argumentation aspect to be high regarding the claim aspect (97.44%) and data aspect (94.87%). Meanwhile, the warrant aspect (53.85%) is moderate, backing (20.51%) is low, and the rebuttal aspect (2.56%) is deficient. On the other hand, the qualitative analysis showed that PSPTs make four argumentation patterns: claim data (C-D); claim, data warrant (C-D-W); claim, data, warrant, backing (C-D-W-B); and claim, data, rebuttal (C-D-R). Considering TAP, quantitative and qualitative findings imply that PSPTs' argumentation skills still need to be developed, particularly on low-level aspects and in constructing a solid argument following the claim, data, warrant, backing, and rebuttal pattern
