Development of electronic module based on ASICC strategy on virus materials for class X to empower critical thinking

Abstract

Critical thinking is a living thing that currently needs to be empowered in the learning process. The results of a preliminary study at SMAN 1 Kediri showed that learning biology in class X MIPA during the pandemic was only limited to listening to teacher explanations and doing assignments at the Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) level. Based on these problems, the solution that can be done is to develop an e-module based on the ASICC strategy to empower students’ critical thinking skills. This study aims to obtain a valid, practical, and effective ASICC-based e-module media to empower the critical thinking skills of class X MIPA A students of SMAN 1 Kediri. This research is development research with the Plomp model. The research data was obtained from a questionnaire on the needs of learning materials from teachers and students, according to the e-module based on the questionnaire results from expert validation, are material and language experts, design and media experts, teacher validation and student responses, implementation of e-module data from the results of students’ critical thinking scores. Data analysis with descriptive statistics and descriptions of research results. The results showed that the ASICC strategy-based electronic module was very valid 92% based on material and language validation, valid 78% based on design and media validation, very valid 93% based on practitioner validation. The results of student responses are quite valid 88%. The results of the implementation of the e-module based on students’ critical thinking with N gain category are high. The ASICC strategy- based e-module that has been developed is valid, practical, and effective for use in learning
