Analisis kemampuan berpikir kritis pada praktikum fisika medan magnet dengan model PODE berbasis Vlab

Abstract

Practicum activities conducted online cause many obstacles such as difficult access to the use of laboratory tools, limited practicum objects in real terms that result in a lack of deepening of the material. So that a new learning model is needed that is suitable to support online practicum activities through the Virtual Laboratory. This research aims to find out how the effect of the PODE (Predict-Observe-Discuss-Explain) learning model based on Virtual Laboratory or VLab on critical thinking skills on magnetic field physics practicum activities. The method used in this study was descriptively quantitative with one group pretestposttest in control classes and experimental classes. Based on the results of data processing, the average N-Gain value in the control class is 45.37 and the experimental class is 64.82 with a significance result above 0.05. Based on the results of the analysis of the research data, it can be concluded that there is a positive influence in the application of a virtual laboratory-based PODE learning model to critical thinking skills in magnetic field physics practicum activities by physics education students.
