Implementasi Bahan Ajar Fisika Berbasis Permainan Tradisional Egrang Materi Gaya Gesek untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis Siswa

Abstract

The learning material entitled "Physics Textbook: Theory and Application of Egrang Traditional Games" is a book that integrates force of friction topic with Egrang traditional games. That physics learning material was written by Rumiati (2021) then validated by experts. However, in century, the textbook has never been implemented for students yet. This study aims to analyze the increase of students' critical thinking skills in understanding the friction force through the implementation of physics textbook based on Egrang traditional games and its effectiveness. The research method used descriptive quantitative with the data being collected through pretest and posttest, interview and documentation. There were 36 respondents in SMA Negeri 4 Jember. The results showed that students' critical thinking skills increased with a medium category on average with an N - Gain (%) 64.91. The implementation of this textbook to improve students' critical thinking skills is effective with medium category. Expectation from this study is to improve students' critical thinking skills on friction force topic through the implementation of physics learning material based on Egrang traditional games.
