Problem-Based Learning Approach with Supported Interactive Multimedia in Physics Learning: Its Effects on Critical Thinking Abilty

Abstract

In this research, interactive multimedia on dynamic electricity concepts was developed and tested. The purpose of this research was to analyze the feasibility and the effectiveness of interactive multimedia through a problem-based learning approach to students’ critical thinking ability. The research and development (R & D) had three stages: preliminary study, development, and field testing. The field testing was a quasi-experiment with a pretest and posttest control group design. The research subjects consisted of four lecturers as expert validators, two teachers and two groups of 72 students in a senior high school in Batang Regency, Central Java. Data were gathered by using questionnaires, observation, interviews, and written test. The results of the Normalized-gain test were 61.79 for the experiment group and 49.91 for the control group. This shows that there were differences in the increase of students' critical thinking ability between the control group and the experiment group.Therefore, it can be concluded that the application of interactive multimedia could improve students' critical thinking ability.

Implementation of PjBL-STEM to Improve Students' Creative Thinking Skills On Static Fluid Topic

“…Education today should be able to produce human resources (HR) that have 21st-century skills [1] [2]. The 21st-century skills consist of four components, namely: (1) Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving ability, (2) Communication ability, (3) Collaboration (cooperation with others), and (4) Creativity and Innovation [3].…”

Critical thinking skills student profile and PBL needs assisted by android physics module

“…Students' critical thinking skills are greatly influenced by e-module (Aufa et al, 2021). The application of android digital module combined with the PBL model could help students in developing several critical thinking skills (Liana & Nursuhud, 2020). The integration of the digital android module is one of the effective learning innovations that adds positive enthusiasm and energy to students about physics lessons over traditional learning.…”

“…Students' post-test scores are significantly improved. (Liana & Nursuhud, 2020) Analyze the effectiveness of interactive multimedia through PBL's approach to students' skills to think critically.…”

“…The adoption of android-based e-modules is a study that reflects the changes brought about by 21 st century, particularly in the field of education (Yamada, 2021). Android digital module is an interactive media that contain the learning materials (Liana & Nursuhud, 2020). Android-based learning media can facilitate teaching learning process for students and teachers as well as save student costs with android (Eriyanti & Rosiningtias, 2023;Asmianto et al, 2022).…”

Analysis of the pre-service physics teacher’s ability to develop SDGs-oriented multimedia

“…Research related to physics learning multimedia has been carried out by previous researchers, including the use of multimedia in physics learning [11,12], development of physics learning multimedia [13][14][15], review of literature related to learning multimedia [16][17][18], analysis of the effect of multimedia on physics learning outcomes to improving specific skills [19][20][21]. From a number of these studies, there has been no research related to the analysis of the ability of teachers or pre-service physics teachers to develop multimedia physics learning.…”
