Improving Students' Critical Thinking Skills: Is Interactive Video and Interactive Web Module Beneficial?

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the comparison of students' critical thinking skills by using learning media based on phenomenon-based learning in a general chemistry course. The media were an interactive web module and an interactive video about the colloidal system. This research is comparative research with a quantitative approach. The sample comprised 68 students from the State Islamic University of Sultan Syarif Kasim Riau and The University of Riau from the chemistry education department. The research data were obtained from students' critical thinking ability test, which consisted of 10 questions and was analyzed using SPSS version 26 for windows. The data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation to notice the difference in students' achievement, while analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test hypotheses and the effect size contribution. The results showed there is a significant difference in students' critical thinking skills between classes that use interactive web modules and classes that use interactive video. Both PhenoBL learning media can improve students' critical thinking skills where the effect size reaches one-third of the percentage. Therefore, educators can consider these learning media to facilitate students in improving critical thinking skills.

Collaborative Online Learning Design Through Lesson Study Activities for Mathematics Prospective Teacher

“…The confirmation method in question is that the researcher presented material in the form of a combination of learning and reinforcement videos by a model lecturer. The results of this research are also in line with the theory, which states that learning videos tend to be 327 Muhamad Galang Isnawan, Farah Heniati Santosa, Luthfiyati Nurafifah, Farid Gunadi, Diki Mulyana effective as a means of presenting material because they can be played repeatedly by students (Coles, 2014;Febliza et al, 2023). The results of this research are also in line with several previous studies (Naidoo & Hajaree, 2021;Santagata et al, 2021), which revealed that learning that combines learning videos and repetition of explanations by teachers tends to be able to optimize students' understanding of material.…”

The Level of Pre-service Teachers’ Digital Literacy during the COVID-19 Pandemic

“…In addition, Yu (2022) demonstrated that after the COVID-19 pandemic, students' digital literacy was significantly improved. This increase occurred because, during the COVID-19 pandemic, students were forced to participate in online learning (Chawłowska et al, 2021) and used various kinds of media such as interactive video and interactive web (Febliza et al, 2023), e-book, interactive e-book and virtual laboratory (Febliza et al, 2022). Furthermore, turning to indicators shows that the average student on technology indicators, mobile phones/smartphones, social media, and online safety obtains a level of digital literacy on established criteria.…”

Social, Strutturale e Specializzato: tre significati per comprendere, studiare e utilizzare in classe i meme matematici

“…Il presente studio ha delle ovvie limitazioni, considerando che gli esempi presentati si basano solo su due esperimenti che coinvolgono un numero relativamente piccolo di studenti, ma conferma risultati che la letteratura accademica sui meme in generale e i meme matematici in particolare sta raccogliendo nel mondo, dagli Stati Uniti (Robinson & Robinson, 2021) all'Indonesia (Febliza et al, 2023). I meme matematici coinvolgono autore e lettore in un processo di cooperazione interpretativa (Eco, 1979) e raccontano idee matematiche caricandole di elementi emotivi che possono favorire l'attribuzione di un significato personale alle azioni nel processo di apprendimento (Skovsmose, 2005), introducendo «una cornice che possa sostenere le ragioni dell'apprendimento» (p. 94, traduzione dell'autrice).…”
