Abstract

The Merdeka curriculum requires teachers and educational units to provide project activities in student learning. The project activities aim to improve students' skills, one of which is critical thinking. This study aims to see the feasibility of the citizen science project, Weather-it, as part of project activities in the Merdeka curriculum to improve students' critical thinking skills. This study uses the Pre-experimental method with the One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. A total of 42 grade 7 students at a junior high school in Bandung took part in the citizen science project, Weather-it. The validated pre-test and post-test questions were made and used to analyze the improvement of students' critical thinking skills. This increase can be seen from changes in the average pre-test and post-test scores and by calculating the N-Gain score. The results showed an increase in the average value of students' critical thinking, from 48.75 (pre-test) to 70.41 (post-test). The N-Gain score states the effectiveness of the citizen science project, Weather-it, where 57.1% of students are in the medium category, 28.6% in the high category and 14.3% in the low category. Likewise, the results reflect how the citizen science project, Weather-it, can be implemented as part of implementing the Merdeka curriculum

Abstract

Formal education increasingly includes citizen science projects. There is clear evidence of the benefits of citizen science projects for science learning, where one of the goals of science education is to foster a logical mindset and add information to students. This study aimed to measure changes in scientific attitude and the addition of knowledge acquired by students. This project is named Weather-it, which consists of activities to investigate the weather and identify clouds. Thirty junior high school students were involved in this study. Research data were obtained from semi-structured interviews and questionnaires. The experts have verified the 23 statement items on the questionnaire sheet. The results showed that 77% of students were in the good category for the indicator of curiosity, 67% in the sufficient category for the indicator of respect for data, 93% for the sufficient category for the indicator of critical thinking, and 77% for the sufficient category for the indicator of open-mindedness and cooperation. Furthermore, students explained the knowledge they gained through the citizen science project, Weather-it, including knowledge about clouds, technology, the use of Microsoft Excel in processing data, the use of weather in aviation, and the duties of a meteorologist.
