The effectiveness of mobile learning role play game (rpg) maker mv in improving students’ critical thinking ability

Abstract

The aim of this research were to improve students’ critical thinking and to know students’ responses in applying mobile learning RPG-based maker MV in Ecosystem learning. This research is experimental research by using quasi-experimental design with Randomized control-Group Pretest Posttest. The data was taken qualitatively by using observation results during students’ learning, students’ response questionnaire in experiencing mobile learning RPG based maker MV, and quantitative data of students’ critical thinking ability. The research findings showed (1) applying mobile learning RPG based maker MV had medium level, (2) Mobile learning RPG maker MV had improved students’ critical thinking, and (3) Students’ result after using this aplication of Ecosystem learning system in a good level or in the highest score.

Penerapan Model Pembelajaran Predict Observe Explain (Poe) Terhadap Keterampilan Berpikir Kritis Siswa Sma Pada Konsep Sistem Pencernaan Manusia

“…Dalam dunia pendidikan, siswa perlu mengembangkan kemampuan berpikir kritisnya agar dapat menggunakan pemikirannya secara kritis untuk memecahkan masalah tertentu (Kane et al, 2016).

Interactive learning environment as a source of critical thinking skills for college students

“…This approach is mainly based on a combination of hand-on classes, classroom discussions, online discussions, interactive simulators, and various assessment forms that involve and instruct students, as well as ensure a productive asynchronous interaction with the teacher [ 9 ]. It is shown that critical thinking, as well as academic performance, can be improved by using educational games such as Role Play Games [ 10 ]. Currently, mobile software is considered progressive in terms of developing critical thinking skills.…”

“…Furthermore, the synthesis of the results underscores the transformative role of innovative teaching methods like gamification and blended learning in fostering critical thinking. Borglum [ 9 ] and Rasyid et al [ 10 ] illustrate how educational games and blended learning approaches, respectively, significantly facilitate the development of critical thinking skills. These methods, which combine traditional and digital pedagogical techniques, engage students more effectively, as well as provide diverse platforms for them to apply critical thinking.…”

Charta media influence on integrated science learning difficulties of coastal students

“…We use this media to improve motivation and learning outcomes of coastal students. Charta Media has many advantages such as easy to make, inexpensive, simple, practical, and can be used for all levels of teaching and fields of study (Rasyid et al, 2020). The selection of environmental waste such as mineral water bottles and pipette rods is our effort to stimulate coastal students' thinking about the use of environmental waste as an alternative solution to the low availability of learning media.…”
