Development of a Liveworksheet Application to Create Online Interactive Materials and LKS in Arabic Lessons at Senior High School

Abstract

Thinking critically is one of the abilities students must have in learning Arabic. Live worksheet acts as a learning tool that can be used to practice making materials and worksheets in elementary schools that have never used live worksheets. So far, teachers have only used case study questions to measure critical thinking skills with no optimal results. This study aims to: (1) produce materials and online Interactive LKS in Arabic lessons at Senior High Schools based on Liveworksheets following the PIE model; (2) know the validity, practicality, and effectiveness; (3) find out the results of the identification of students' critical thinking skills in Arabic subject matter. This type of research is Research & Development (R&D), which uses the PIE development model. The research instruments used were interview sheets, validation sheets, critical thinking ability test instruments, observation sheets, and student response questionnaires. The results of the study show that: (1) The developed application fits the PIE development model because it has systematic and practical stages in developing interactive material and worksheets; (2) The application meets very valid criteria with an average percentage of 97.45% (media aspect) and 97.64% (material aspect), practical with an average percentage of 78.33%, and is quite effective with an average percentage the average percentage is 53.85% which is caused by the achievement of the competence of students who have not been maximized; and (3) students' critical thinking skills are classified as low on the topic of live worksheet application development with an average percentage of 21%. The developed application can be used to support learning Arabic.
