Online Learning PBL Model with the STS Approach to Improve High School Students’ Critical Thinking Ability

Abstract

The research aims to describe the effectiveness of online learning PBL ( Problem Based Learning)model with STS (Science Technology Society) approach to improve students’ critical thinking ability. Research is Pre experimental with pre-test and post-test design conducted at Labschool UNESA High School in the academic year 2020/2021. The research sample consisted of 56 students of eleventh grade Natural Science. Collecting data is done through pre-test, applying the model PBL with the STS approach through the Google meet, and the last is post-test. Analysis data using paired t-test, analysis of n-gain, and independent t-test. According to analysis data, students' critical thinking ability scores are suffering an increase that is significant at ? = 5% with an average n-gain in the medium category and consistent in both classes. The conclusion is that the online learning PBL model with the STS approach effectively improves the critical thinking ability of high school students.

Analyzing Students’ Acceptance Toward the Use of Tutorial Webinar Using Technology Acceptance Model Approach

“…This study aims to provide an overview of the data originating from the results of a questionnaire regarding student and lecturer acceptance of the use of webinar tutorials during the COVID-19 pandemic. The data from the research results were analyzed in a quantitative descriptive manner in which the results of the questionnaire were presented in a table accompanied by percentage and average calculations as well as a description of the criteria achieved, namely data originating from a questionnaire that was carried out by analyzing the total score items based on the Likert scale (Arzak & Prahani, 2023;Lorencia & Jatmiko, 2021;Prahani et al, 2020;Rizki et al, 2023;. The research procedure is explained in Figure 1.…”

Description of Students' Critical Thinking Skills After Implementing the Problem Posing Model Assisted by PheT in Distance Learning

“…One learning model that can integrate critical thinking skills is problem-posing. The problem-posing learning model is a form of learning design that emphasizes the formulation of problems or posing questions by students along with the answers to the problems or questions (Arzak & Prahani, 2023;Lorencia & Jatmiko, 2021;Pristianti & Prahani, 2022;Tong et al, 2023). This learning design can train critical thinking skills because students are trained to create questions and answer problems from these questions.…”
