Enhancing critical thinking through the science learning on using interactive problem based module

Abstract

Facing the 21st century, higher order thinking skills are becoming a valuable thing to be learned. This is why learning science has to be designed on using innovative models, approaches, and Media. The R and D research on using ADDIE design was done to develop the interactive problem based module on population and environmental pollution topics. After validation process on the conceptual aspects as well as the learning and techno-pedagogic aspects, the module was then implemented in science learning at secondary school, to enhance critical thinking skills. The research shows that the module is very effective to use as a supporting material in order to enhance critical thinking skills. Based on the students' response, the media was very helpful to student to learn science as well as to enhance the skill in how to practice IT.
