Ali Usman, Kukuh Munandar, Agus Prasetyo Utomo — Tue, 28 May 2024 00:00:00 +0700

: The Merdeka Curriculum requires teachers to apply various learning models, including PBL, to achieve learning objectives, including critical thinking skills. However, in the context of biology learning, the application of the PBL model is rarely considered to improve students' critical thinking skills, and research on this is still limited. Therefore, this research is essential because there is no complete analysis of the impact of the PBL learning model on critical thinking skills in biology indexed by Scopus. This study uses the SLR method to investigate the effect of the PBL learning model on students' critical thinking skills in biology material. This research method follows the PRISMA model for selecting articles based on specific criteria in the SCOPUS database. The research results show that presentation and discussion methods dominate biology learning, while there is a lack of attention to students' critical thinking and a lack of electronic teaching materials. On the other hand, problem-based learning helps students understand and apply biological material and develop critical thinking skills by emphasizing the application of knowledge, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation and involving students in group discussions to motivate critical thinking. Research shows that PBL effectively improves students' critical thinking, supported by various learning models and media that strengthen students' critical thinking skills. In conclusion, applying the PBL model allows students to focus on specific topics, understand scientific concepts, and overcome challenges through data analysis, hypothesis generation, and deductive reasoning. This model encourages critical thinking and active participation of students. Teachers are expected to be able to use various learning models to improve students' thinking abilities.

In this paper, we explain one side rarely discussed: the process of designing media pre-implementation. This research uses the designer’s log as core data that notes the essential things during the discussion between media designers and practitioners. This study depicts two case studies when researchers (as media designers) and teachers (as practitiones) were developing comics with socioscientific issues (SSI) content. This research employed a case studies approach, using the designer’s log in three meetings with teachers. The data analysis of the designer’s log focused on three criteria: analysis, comics-building, and teaching activities development. The main themes identified as results in this study were the student experience in comics, previous content related to SSI, comics form, SSI content in comics, and classroom activities. This study also presented designer log examples highlighting our discussion with teachers to explain teachers’ consideration in designing comics with SSI content. From this study, we offer recommendations, especially regarding DBR. Firstly, future researchers need to be aware not only of the final DBR product but also of the product design process; secondly, in preparing media (in this paper, comics), determining content needs to be considered together between designers and teachers from student conditions, culture, and school background.

The low student learning outcomes on the history of the formulation of Pancasila and the learning media used by teachers are less creative and innovative, causing students to feel bored and less active in learning, this is the background of researchers in conducting research. The purpose of this study was to develop, test the feasibility, and test the effectiveness of Articulate Storyline interactive multimedia in improving the learning outcomes of Pancasila formulation history material for fourth-grade students of SDN Gondoriyo Semarang City. Researchers use development research or Research and Development (R&D) with the Borg and Gall development model. Researchers used observation, interviews, documentation, questionnaires, and tests as data collection techniques. Researchers used data analysis techniques of normality test, t-test, and N-Gain test. The results of the material expert feasibility assessment obtained a score of 85.8%, and the media expert assessment obtained a score of 86.25%. The validation results of material experts and media experts show that the interactive multimedia articulate storyline is "very feasible" to be used in the learning process. Teachers and students stated that Articulate Storyline interactive multimedia is "very practical" to use in the learning process. The effectiveness of interactive multimedia articulate storyline on the material of the history of the formulation of Pancasila is proven by the t-test, with the results of small-scale product trials obtained sig. (2-tailed) 0.000 <0.05, while in the large-scale product trial obtained sig. (2-tailed) 0.000 < 0.05, it can be stated that there is a comparison of the average student learning outcomes before and after the product trial, so it can be concluded that Articulate Storyline interactive multimedia can improve learning outcomes in the material of the history of the formulation of Pancasila for grade IV elementary school students. The results of this discovery can be used as a basis for expanding the distribution of media on a wider scale.
