Validity and Practicality of Guided Inquiry-Based E-Modules accompanied by Virtual Laboratory to Empower Critical Thinking Skills

Abstract

This study aims to determine the validity and practicality of guided inquiry-based e-modules accompanied by virtual laboratories on digestive system materials to empower critical thinking skills. The type of research used is research and development (R&D), by applying the Borg and Gall development model consisting of 10 steps and grouped in four stages including: preliminary study stage, development, testing, and deployment. This study is limited to e-modules validity and practicality testing. The instruments used are the validity and practicality questionnaires. The assessment of the results of the validity and practicality questionnaire is interpreted with the likert scale. Based on the analysis of the data obtained the following results: 1) Test validity by material experts, learning device experts, media experts, and education practitioners obtained a value in a row that is, 85.30%, 95.40%, 88.30%, and 93.20% with very good category, 2) Practicality tests by small-scale student groups, large-scale student groups, and biology teachers from 3 schools obtained consecutive grades, i.e., 87.60%, 89.50%, and 90.00% with very good category. Based on the validity and practicality tests, it can be concluded that the e-modules developed are valid and practical to use

Validitas LKPD Digital Gerak Harmonik Sederhana Berbasis PhET Simulation

“…Dosen juga jarang mengoptimalkan ketersediaan aplikasi virtual laboratory untuk mengoptimalkan pembelajaran eksperimen atau penyelidikan sehingga pembelajaran menjadi serba terbatas. Hal ini sejalan dengan penelitian Ravista, et al (Ravista, 2021) yaitu ada hal terkait proses pembelajaran: 1) Pendidik memiliki beberapa metode pembelajaran seperti ceramah dan diskusi tapi belum menggunakan model pembelajaran inovatif; 2) Pendidik jarang menjalankan kegiatan eksperimen; 3) Materi pembelajaran masih konvensional atau menggunakan bahn cetak (print), yaitu materi yang ditampilkan beum memfasilitasi siswa untuk melakukan aktivitas discovery dan melatih melakukan kegiatan saintifik.…”

“…Kelayakan pada aspek penyajian memperoleh skor 87%. Ini membuktikan bahwa LKPD digital terdiri dari komponen lengkap untuk memfasilitasi keterlibatan siswa dalam proses belajar (Ravista, 2021).…”

Development of CIRCSA-Based E-module on Virus Materials to Train Students' Critical Thinking and Scientific Literacy

“…Innovative, contextual, and interesting teaching materials will enable students to learn more effectively and develop higher levels of thinking (Suryawati & Osman, 2018). Providing effective teaching materials is an essential component of the learning process (Ravista et al, 2021). One type of teaching material that contains a set of planned, whole, and systematic learning experiences to help students master specific learning competencies is a module (Harahap & Fauzi, 2017;Resita & Ertikanto, 2018).…”

The inquiry investigation group learning model: Improving students’ critical thinking skills, cognitive learning outcomes, and scientific attitudes

“…Brown (2010) reported that the POGIL (Processoriented guided-inquiry learning) learning model was able to empower students' critical thinking in studying biology through a series of questions. Ravista et al (2021) also reported that the use of an electronic module based on an inquiry strategy accompanied by a virtual laboratory could improve students' critical thinking in learning biology. Inquiry strategies could also improve biology learning outcomes through a series of combinations of techniques or methods and modifications.…”
