The effect of problem-based video animation instructions to improve students’ critical thinking skills

Abstract

In the 21st century, people must have soft skills so that they can enter the workplace. One of the skills which must be acquired by students is critical thinking skills. Students’ low level of critical thinking skills is caused by the use of learning style that does not promote their thinking skills so that the students are not able to identify a problem, observe, and consider an observation result. Besides, the students are not able to make consideration, draw a conclusion, identify and consider a term. The purpose of this study is to analyse the effect of problem-based video animation instructions to improve students’ critical thinking skills. A quasi-experimental with one group pretest-posttest design was used in this study. The data were analysed using N-gain and analysed using the Wilcoxon test at a significant level of 0.05. The result of the study is p < α, which is 0.001 < 0.05. The conclusion of this study is about students’ critical thinking skills in terms of basic clarification, giving reasons for a decision, concluding and further clarification. This criterion indicates that the problem-based video animation instruction model is effective to improve students’ critical thinking skills.

Enhancing Students’ Critical Thinking Skills through Problem Based Learning Integrated with Mindmapping

“…PBL can improve students' critical thinking skills, because it involves students in learning processes such as clarifying problems, assessing information needs, identifying relationships between concepts, cooperation between new forms of knowledge, producing possible hypotheses, debating problems related to situations, considering alternative solutions (Yuan, et al, 2014). Problem based video animation instruction is effective in improving critical thinking skills (Ritonga, et al, 2020).…”

“…Every individual must have qualified soft skills to enable them to get into the world of work and be ready to compete. One of the skills that students must possess is critical thinking skills, which can be obtained through education (Ritonga et al, 2020).…”

Pgmi Students' Ability to Develop Science Learning Videos Based on Problem Based Learning Models

“…Pendidikan merupakan jalan utama dalam mempersiapkan peserta didik untuk mampu bersaing di abad 21. Setiap individu harus memiliki soft skill yang mumpuni agar siap bersaing dan dapat terjun ke dunia kerja (Ritonga et al, 2020). Keterampilan berpikir kritis merupakan bagian dari keterampilan abad 21 yang harus diasah dan dikembangkan bagi siswa melalui proses pembelajaran, termasuk pembelajaran di sekolah dasar (Sri, 2020).…”

The Implementation of Problem Based Learning Integrated with STEM-Based Worksheets to Improve Learning Motivation

“…This 21st century information can be accessed by everyone so quickly. Each individual must have qualified soft skills in order to enter the world of work and be ready to compete (Ritonga, et al, 2020). Schools provide valuable opportunities through the educational process to prepare students to enter the world of work.…”
