Developing a GeoGebra-Based Teaching Module on Quadrilateral Area and Perimeter to Enhance Seventh-Grade Students' Critical Thinking Skills
Get PDFObjective: Seventh-grade students often need help to grasp the concepts of area and perimeter, particularly when applied to real-world problems requiring critical thinking. This difficulty highlights a need for engaging and effective teaching resources beyond traditional methods. Method: This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model to design, develop, and evaluate a GeoGebra-based teaching module explicitly targeting the area and perimeter of quadrilaterals. The module, designed to foster critical thinking, underwent rigorous validation by media and material experts before being tested for practicality and effectiveness with seventh-grade students. Result: The GeoGebra-based teaching module was valid and practical, receiving high scores from expert evaluations and user feedback. More importantly, the module's implementation positively impacted students' critical thinking skills related to area and perimeter, as evidenced by significant improvement between their pre-intervention and post-intervention assessments. Novelty: This study provides valuable evidence for the efficacy of GeoGebra-based teaching modules in significantly improving critical thinking skills within a specific mathematical context. It addresses a critical gap in existing educational resources by offering a validated, practical, and effective tool that can be adapted to elevate mathematical understanding and cognitive skills in middle school educatio
Profile of Critical Thinking Results Analyzed from Facione Indicators and Gender of Learners
No full textObjective: This research aims to describe the results of students' critical thinking in three different junior high schools. This research was conducted using a quantitative descriptive method in which the data obtained were the results of the critical thinking of male and female Grade VIII students from three different junior high schools in Pamekasan, namely in the Tlanakan, Galis, and Larangan areas using thinking indicators. Fionce's Critical Thinking on Narcotics, Psychotropics, and Other Addictive Substances, Fionce's critical thinking indicators are as follows Interpretation, Analysis, Evaluation, Conclusion, Explanation, and Self-Regulation Methods: The method used in this study was to have students work on five critical thinking essay questions by taking random samples. Results: From the three junior high schools, a sample of 50 students was obtained, namely 25 male and 25 female students. After the students worked on the questions, the average male student scored 62.56, and the female student scored 65.28. Novelty: From the results obtained, it was found that the average score of female students was higher than that of male students from three different schools based on an analysis of the Fionce indicators where female students tended to give more detailed and thorough answers than male students. The second reason female students have higher critical thinking skills than male students is that the answers given by male students tend to be different from the topics in the questions given by the researcher

The Role of Scientific Literacy Instruments For Measuring Science Problem Solving Ability
No full textA critical aspect of measuring judgment in the 21st century is scientific literacy. In addition to the scientific literacy aspect as part of the grade 21 skills assessment, there are other essential aspects, namely student problem-solving skills. Based on the articles collected, it can be concluded that to meet the necessities of life in various situations in the global era, Literacy ability is a fundamental thing that all students must own. The role of scientific literacy instruments is needed to measure students' science problem-solving abilities. Because scientific literacy is an individual's ability to identify, explain and conclude scientific evidence by using the ability to solve problems based on how to understand, plan, solve, and reassess. This can be seen from the many theories and teaching methods that support the results obtained from the forty-four journals reviewed. The criteria for the articles used are those published in 2017-2022. The purpose of this article review is to determine the role of scientific literacy instruments in measuring students' problem-solving abilities by using a literature review that gathers sources from several previous articles
