The Effectiveness of Using the Islamic Integration Module on the Critical Thinking Ability of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Students

Abstract

The objective of this study was to describe the effectiveness of the use of integrated thematic modules of Islamic values on students' critical thinking abilities. The pre-experimental research with One Group Pretest Posttest Design was conducted in this study. The sample in this study was 21 students of Class 3 Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) taken with the saturated sampling technique. Theme 7, sub-theme two about energy changes are used as the material in the thematic modules used in this study. Five critical questions in the form of critical thinking ability test instruments are used to collect students' critical thinking abilities data. The five indicators of critical thinking abilities are (1) formulating the problem, (2) planning a problem-solving strategy, (3) making a decision, (4) analyzing the problem, and (5) evaluating the decision. The students 'critical thinking ability data were analyzed descriptively and statistically using paired samples test to determine the extent and differences of students' critical thinking abilities before and after learning using an integrated thematic module of Islamic values. The results showed that the critical thinking ability of students was very critical in the category of 48%, critical 24%, quite critical 19%, and less critical 10%. Students' critical thinking abilities have improved after learning using Islamic thematic integration modules (N-gain = 0.5) with the medium category. Statistical test results show that the integrated thematic module of Islamic values has a significant impact (p> 0.05) on students' critical thinking abilities. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the use of integrated thematic modules integrated integration of Islamic values is effective and has a significant impact on students' critical thinking abilities.

Development of E-module Space Geometry Based on Vee's Heuristic Strategy to Train Students' Mathematical Representation Skills

“…The app makes it easy for students to access flexible learning resources anywhere and anytime. And also, following opinions (Khairiyah & Faizah, 2019), the use of integrated thematic modules is effective and can be further implemented and improve students' critical thinking skills.…”

“…Thus, e-modules that combine mathematics with learning strategies or theories, such as heuristic vee, problem-based Learning, and others, respond positively. Research from (Khairiyah & Faizah, 2019) shows that learning mathematics using Islamic integration modules can improve students' critical thinking skills and positively respond.…”

The critical thinking skills on animal tissue learning: Inquiry based student activity sheets development

“…To achieve 21st-century skills, thinking skills are recognized as essential skills, one of which is critical thinking skills (S. Prayogi et al, 2018). The ability to think is a cognitive process or a mental action to acquire knowledge that can be developed and can be taught (Khairiyah & Faizah, 2019). So that critical thinking skills are important to be trained in the learning process, because critical thinking is an important intellectual capital for everyone and is a fundamental part of human maturity, so it is important to be taught at all levels of education (Fitriani et al, 2018).…”
