Effectiveness of clarity learning model: The new model learning to improve critical thinking skills advanced clarification in physics courses

Abstract

Clarity Learning Model (CLM) is an innovative model developed based on the excellence of IBL that is tailored to the needs of advanced clarification critical thinking ability through the implementation of distance learning due to the Covid 19 pandemic. This study aims to test the effectiveness of CLM that has qualified valid. The type of research used is a pre -test and post-test group design. The sample in the study consisted of two classes. Class 1 consisted of 24 students, while class 2 consisted of 18 students. Effectiveness is obtained through pre-test and post-test results whose N-gain calculations and N-Gain Average Test difference are then analyzed using Mann Whitney Test. The results in the study showed that CLM is effective in impr oving the critical ability of advanced clarification in physics courses. These research suggestions are to conduct trials on a broader scale and optimize LMS as a provision for students' initial skills.

Online Critical Thinking Cycle Model to Improve Pre-service Science Teacher’s Critical Thinking Dispositions and Skills

“…The present study's findings also proved that critical thinking skills could be trained through a constructivist approach. Previous researchers suggested improving teaching practice by adapting a constructivist approach to foster critical thinking skills (Ali & Awan, 2021;Saputro et al, 2022). In the first phase, pre-service teachers started by interpreting the phenomenon of acid-base and colligative properties of solutions related to daily life, for example, the process of making traditional ice cream that utilized the concept of freezing point depression of solutions.…”

“…It is one of the high-level thinking that should be the center of learning development as it makes humans have life skills, creativity, and innovation to confront complex real-life problems (Prayogi et al, 2018). Someone who perceives critical thinking skills will have a careful consideration to collect various evidence/information before making a decision or setting a position (Saputro et al, 2022). Nonetheless, critical thinking requires not only the skills to properly assess reasons, but also the willingness, desire, and disposition to base one's actions and beliefs on the reasons (Ennis, 2011;Facione, 2015).…”
