Abstract

Students’ creative thinking skills in physics learning, particularly on alternative energy topics, remain relatively low due to teacher-centered instructional practices. This study aimed to examine the effect of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model assisted by Student Worksheets (LKPD) on students’ creative thinking skills. This research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group. The sample consisted of two classes of grade X Phase E students at SMAN 2 Sijunjung, with class X E8 as the experimental group and X E7 as the control group. Data were collected using a creative thinking skills test administered as pretest and posttest. The data were analyzed using normality tests, homogeneity tests, and independent sample t-tests. The results showed that the experimental class achieved a higher mean posttest score 76.1 compared to the control class 63.1. The t-test results indicated a significant difference at the 5% significance level. These findings indicate that the LKPD-assisted PjBL model has a significant positive effect on students’ creative thinking skills in learning alternative energy concepts.

Abstract

Students' critical thinking skills in physics at the high school level are still low, even tho teachers have used several innovative learning models such as problem-based learning and inquiry. The models used are not yet optimal for improving students' critical thinking skills. Students are not yet able to connect prior knowledge with new knowledge to build a complete new understanding. This is because the available learning media still doesn't visually present phenomena that can spark students' curiosity and encourage their critical thinking skills. The cognitive conflict-based generative model assisted by learning videos is one of the proposed alternatives to solve the above problems. This study aims to determine the effect of a cognitive conflict-based generative learning model assisted by instructional videos on students' critical thinking skills in static fluids material. The design of this quasi-experimental research is a posttest-only control group. The study population includes all eleventh-grade high school students, consisting of two classes: XI F1 and XI F2, with a total sampling technique used for data collection. The instrument used is a critical thinking ability test sheet in the form of essay questions. The data was analyzed using a two-sample t-test. The research results show that students' critical thinking skills in the experimental class are higher than in the control class. Based on the results of the two-mean equality test, the calculated "t" value is 3.59, which is greater than the table "t" value of 2.003 at a significance level of 5%. The same treatment was given to both the experimental and control classes, except that the experimental class used a cognitive conflict-based generative learning model assisted by video learning, while the control class used the models and media commonly used by teachers in schools. This means the difference is caused by the treatment given. Therefore, the use of a cognitive conflict-based generative learning model assisted by video learning significantly affects students' critical thinking skills.
