Practicum activity is a scientific process to find out a phenomenon or validate a concept. HOT-LAB in laboratory activities is useful in improving 4C skills, including Critical Thinking Skills. The number of Modules or E-Modules that use a cookbook of guided laboratory inquiries was less to increase the 4C Skills in supporting the 21st Century skills. This study aimed to design, create and find out the effect of using HOT-LAB-based E-Modules to improve the students’ Critical Thinking Skills. The research method was the ADDIE RnD. Invalidation stage, E-Module that was validated by material and media validators, stated effective, so it was feasible to continue to data collection of students. Data of Critical Thinking Skills used 30 students as subjects whose raw data was analyzed using statistical tests. E-Module obtained a validity score of 83.33% on the material validation and 84.6% on the media validation. Moreover, the statistical test showed that there is a significant change in implementing E-Module, which means that the HOT-LAB-based E-Module improved the students' Critical Thinking Skills.
Learning media is very important in order to facilitate learning or the income of information. In this 21st century, learning is not only focused on how to get but also how to find. 21st-century learning is also emphasized on digital literacy and also information literacy which is considered a fast door to learning. High digital literacy and information literacy, will facilitate the learning process carried out by students. This study aims to determine whether using LabXChange can improve or facilitate subjects in digital literacy and information literacy. The pre-Experimental design was used as a method in this study with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research subjects were 15 subjects with a sampling technique purposive sampling. This study obtained the results with H0 = Ha ≠ Hb = Hc, which means, the 15 subjects can increase digital and information literacy with the use of LabXChange as a media for students.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
