The Effectiveness of Flipbook and Video to Improve Students' Critical Thinking Skills in Science Learning during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Critical thinking is one of the skills that must be possessed in studying science. During the Covid-19 pandemic, flipbooks and videos can be used as alternative media to improve students' critical thinking skills. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using flipbooks and videos in improving the critical thinking skills of junior high school students during the pandemic. The method used in this research is descriptive quantitative. The data collected were in the form of students' pretest and posttest scores. The data were analyzed using the N-gain test and Independent Sample T-Test. The results showed: (1) learning videos were effective for improving students' critical thinking skills with an average score of 0.44 (medium) and (2) flipbooks were effective for improving students' critical thinking skills with an average score of 0.42 (medium). There is no significant difference between students' critical thinking skills, both after using flipbooks and videos.

Pengembangan E-Modul IPA Berbasis Flipbook Digital Untuk Meningkatkan Literasi Sains Siswa SMP

“…E-modul dapat terintegrasikan dengan media teknologi yang mampu memberikan daya tarik yaitu dalam bentuk flipbook digital. Penggunaan flipbook digital dapat menjadikan e-modul pembelajaran lebih interaktif, efektif, dan menarik digunakan (Nuha et al, 2021).…”

“…Flipbook merupakan bentuk bahan ajar dengan tampilan yang lebih terbarukan dan interaktif. Materi pembelajaran yang tertuang dalam bentuk flipbook dapat dilengkapi dengan gambar, video, pemilihan warna yang lebih menarik sehingga menjadikan pembelajaran lebih interaktif (Nuha et al, 2021).

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

“…Based on the analysis results, the average percentage of the three assessment indicators consisting of interest, motivation, and responses reached 74% with good categories. This means that on the indicators of interest according to students, the appearance of e-modules based on mobile learning applications can make students more excited and not bored in learning, the presentation of material in e-modules can encourage students to conclude material, discuss with other friends, and can affect critical thinking skills (Nuha at al., 2021;Andayani, 2019), while on the motivation indicators according to students, the material on e-modules based on mobile learning applications is related to daily life, easy to understand, there are pictures, and practice questions that can test the understanding of the material given (Laili, Ganefri, dan Usmeldi, 2019). The response indicators, according to students, the sentences used in e-modules are clearly easy to understand, the language used in e-modules is easy to understand, and the letters used are easy to read.…”

SIRI Learning Model in Empowering Biology Students' Critical Thinking

“…Critical thinking skills are important to train and empower because they describe other skills, such as communication and information skills, the ability to examine, analyze, interpret and evaluate evidence (Azizi & Herman, 2020;Mahanal et al, 2016). Prospective biology teachers with good critical thinking skills will be able to guide their students to develop critical thinking, deeper analytical abilities, and other skills, so that they are trained to solve problems and achieve learning success (Fatmawati et al, 2019;Setyoningsih, 2018).…”
