Development of E-Modules Based On Mobile Learning Applications to Improve Students' Critical Thinking Skills in Science Subject

Abstract

Developing an E-module based on a mobile learning application is used to improve the critical thinking skills of junior high school science students. Objective: This research aims to develop products in e-modules based on mobile learning applications that are valid, practical, and effective. Methods: The research method used is the ADDIE development model, which includes five stages: analyzing, designing, developing, implementing, and evaluating. The data analysis techniques used are validation sheets for validity tests and observation sheets for learning implementation for practicality. And the N-gain test and student questionnaire to test effectiveness. Results: Based on the results of the data analysis conducted, e-modules based on mobile learning applications have obtained valid results with average validation scores from the three validators, namely 83%, e-modules based on mobile learning in learning are considered very practical as teaching materials in science learning in junior high school because they get an average score of 94%, e-modules based on mobile learning applications are also considered to have been effective and feasible to use as teaching materials during science learning in junior high school because they have used e-modules based on mobile learning applications, students' thinking skills increase with grades N-gain with a high score of 0.77 and student response with a score of 74% with a good category. Novelty: Previous researchers have never done this research, which develops e-modules based on mobile learning applications to improve students' critical thinking skills.

Cooperative model, digital game, and augmented reality-based learning to enhance students critical thinking skills and learning motivation

“…This positive response corroborates the effectiveness findings because it is based on students' perspectives as active learners who are primarily involved in the learning process. Sastradika et al (2021), andUma'iyah et al (2023) developed digital learning materials that received a positive response from students, indicating improved critical thinking skills in science subjects. Therefore, CAP-based learning has met the criteria of being valid, practical, and effective in enhancing students' critical thinking skills and learning motivation, while also receiving a positive response from them.…”

Development of Interactive Mobile Learning (IMOLE) Learning Media Assisted by iSpring Suite to Improve IPAS Learning Outcomes in Elementary Schools

“…In another study conducted by (Widiastika et al, 2021) the validation results of the Android-based mobile learning development carried out obtained an average score of 84% from material experts and media experts which were included in the "Very Valid" category. Other research was conducted by (Uma'iyah et al, 2023) that the validation results of Android-based mobile learning development obtained an average result from three validators of 91%, so it was declared suitable for use to increase students' digital literacy.…”

Development of E-Modules Based on Problem-Based Learning to Improve Problem-Solving Skills and Student Self-Efficacy

“…The development of an e-module should employ an approach, method, or model that provides a focused and structured learning process (Uma'iyah et al, 2023). When developing e-module teaching materials to enhance students' problem-solving skills and self-efficacy, the problem-based learning model is more effective.…”
