Abstract

The availability of modules that are able to develop critical students' thinking skills has not been fulfilled. This study aimed to develop and determine the characteristics, feasibility, and effectiveness of guided inquiry-based ecosystem modules to improve students' critical thinking skills. This R&D research referred to Borg and Gall model with nine stages. The research instrument used was a test question sheet adapted from Facione. The data gained were analyzed using ANCOVA. The results of the study showed that: 1) the developed module was characterized with guided inquiry-based syntax and critical thinking skills aspect; 2) the module was declared feasible based on the gained validity scores i.e. 92.19 (very decent) from material expert, 81.90 (very decent) from learning expert, 78.57 (worthy) from linguist, 92.86 (very decent) from learning media expert, 92.36 (very decent) from practitioners, and 91.80 (very decent) from limited field test; 3) the student critical thinking skills achievement which treated by using the module was significantly higher compared to another class (F = 120.52; p-value < 0.05). It can be concluded that the developed module was feasible to be used in learning and effectively improved students' critical thinking skills.

Abstract

Scientific thinking is a crucial skill for students in facing 21st-century challenges. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of Creative Problem Solving (CPS) with scaffolding learning implementation on students' thinking skills. The study employed pre-experimental design in which the sample was 96 of population was 270 students. The sampling technique used was cluster random sampling. The data obtained from the test instrument constructed from four aspects observed. The data was analyzed using dependent t-test. The results showed that there was an influence of the CPS with scaffolding on students' scientific thinking skills. Thus, CPS with scaffolding learning effectively empowered the students’ scientific thinking skills.
