Pengembangan Modul Pembelajaran IPA Berbasis Real Picture Analysis (RPA) untuk Membangun Keterampilan Berpikir Kritis dan Hasil Belajar Siswa SMP

Abstract

Science learning is currently directed at preparing students to successfully fulfill 21st century skills with critical thinking skills being the most basic skills. Learning is a communication process between educators and students which requires a medium to bridge the communication process in learning activities. The aim of this research is to produce a development product in the form of a Real Picture Analysis (RPA) based science learning module that can build critical thinking skills and student learning outcomes. The RPA-based science learning module is a learning media in the form of a module that integrates real phenomena in the environment around students in the form of images which are then linked to the science concept being studied. In the context of developing teaching materials, the quality of the product being developed is determined by three quality aspects, including validity, practicality and effectiveness. The type of research used is 4-D model development research (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). The results of the research show that the RPA-based science learning module has a validity of 95% (very valid), practicality for students and observers of 81% (very good) and 95% (very good), as well as effectiveness in building critical thinking skills with a score of N-gain 0.66 (medium) and 0.72 (high) to build learning outcomes. So, it can be concluded that the RPA-based science learning module developed is valid, practical and effective for building critical thinking skills and student learning outcomes.
