Teacher’s domination in teaching science subject is still found in many schools, including junior high schools. Since then, students experience a lack of direct observation leading to not only their low conceptual understanding, but also their higher order thinking ability. Therefore, the implementation of a proper learning model becomes a crucial breakthrough. In this present paper, we focus on the influence of learning model with inquiry level of interactive demonstration (as the experimental class) and discovery-based learning model (as the control class) on the VIII grade students’ higher order thinking ability. We used posttest only control group design by means of using 20 validated multiple choice questions with reliability of 0.872. The data analyses were completed comprehensively, from normality test to t-test on students’ ability. As the conclusion, according to those data analyses, students’ higher thinking skill is better when students are thought by interactive demonstration rather than by discovery learning.
This research was a research and development (R&D) that produced products in the form of learning modules. The purpose of this research are to find out: (1) The characteristics of the material classification and its changes instructional module; (2) The feasibility of the material classification and its changes instructional module; (3) The instructional module effectiveness in increasing critical thinking skills. The procedure of this research are: (1) preliminary research & information gathering; (2) planning (3) initial product development; (4) initial field trial; (5) major product revisions; (6) main field test; (7) operational product revisions; (8) operational field test;(9) final product revision. The results of research and development show: (1) the characteristics of the instructional module as learning objects in accordance with the inquiry-interactive demonstration learning on the classification material and its changes; (2) instructional module eligibility based on experts assessment, education practitioners, and students produces 81.74% achievement with very good qualifications; (3) module as learning objects resulting from the development are effective in improving students' critical thinking skills with an N-Gain score of 0.561.
Berdasarkan pengamatan pembelajaran IPA SMP di Malang masih melibatkan peran guru yang dominan. Siswa tidak memiliki pemahaman yang mendalam mengenai suatu materi karena tidak memiliki pengalaman secara langsung dalam proses mencari tahu. Hal ini menyebabkan kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi cenderung rendah. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan model pembelajaran yang mampu mengembangkan kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi siswa. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh Levels of Inquiry-Interactive Demonstration dibandingkan dengan Levels of Inquiry-Discovery Learning terhadap kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi siswa kelas VIII SMP. Jenis penelitian ini adalah quasi experiment dengan teknik posttest only control group design. Kelas eksperimen menggunakan Levels of Inquiry-Interactive Demonstration dan kelas kontrol menggunakan Levels of Inquiry-Discovery Learning. Instrumen penelitian terdiri atas 20 soal pilihan ganda kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi yang valid dengan tingkat reliabilitas 0,872. Analisis data menggunakan uji-t. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi siswa yang belajar dengan Levels of Inquiry-Interactive Demonstration lebih tinggi dibandingkan Levels of Inquiry-Discovery Learning.
