RANDAI Learning Model to Enhance Pre-Service Biology Teachers' Critical Thinking Skills

“…The stories in Kaba used to be popular in the past. Educational messages from Kaba are conveyed in the form of figurative sentences or cryptic words (Arsih, Zubaidah, Suwono, & Gofur, 2019). Pedagogically, Randai can serve as a learning medium for Minangkabau people.…”

“…Pedagogically, Randai can serve as a learning medium for Minangkabau people. Some educational values of Randai that can be incorporated into a learning model include barundiang (willing to discuss), bulek kato dek mufakaik, bakarajosamo (cooperative), barani bapandapek (assertive), kaba (story telling), garak malingka (moving in circle) and the dramatic actions kato nan ampek that reflect politeness in speaking (Arsih, Zubaidah, Suwono, & Gofur, 2019).…”

“…The integration of Randai cultural values into PBL thus generates a learning model called RANDAI (Reciting, Analyzing the problem, Narrating the solution, Doing the solution, Assessing the solution and Implementing the solution). RANDAI learning model is constructed on the elements of drama and of Kaba/story (Arsih et al, 2019). Stories can improve learning memory capacity (Dahlstrom, 2014) and critical thinking (Csikar & Stefaniak, 2018).…”

“…They can also function as an effective communication tool in learning process (Giorgetti et al, 2017). Pedagogically, RANDAI learning model teaches democracy and collaboration principles through creating a circle in the show (Arsih et al, 2019).…”

The effect of integrated flipped classroom with local cultural values on character building in higher education

“…UNESCO emphasizes that incorporating cultural values into teaching is important and cultural values should not be separated from learning in schools or universities. A culture that contains educational values can significantly contribute to both students and educators (Arsih, Zubaidah, Suwono, & Gofur, 2019). Integrating cultural values into the classroom can optimally encourage the development of ethics, social, motivation, and competence in students (Christen, 2018).…”
