Effectiveness of clarity learning model: The new model learning to improve critical thinking skills advanced clarification in physics courses

Abstract

Clarity Learning Model (CLM) is an innovative model developed based on the excellence of IBL that is tailored to the needs of advanced clarification critical thinking skills through the implementation of distance learning due to the Covid 19 pandemic. This study aims to test the effectiveness of CLM that has qualified valid. The research design used pre-test post-test group design. The sample in the study consisted of two classes, class 1 consisted of 24 students while class 2 consisted of 18 students. Validity is obtained through a validation sheet analyzed based on expert answers. Effectiveness is obtained through the results of pre-test and post-test whose N gain calculations and difference of N-Gain Average Test are then analyzed by using independent T test. The results of the CLM validity test and the test instrument can be categorized as a valid and feasible learning design to be used in research. CLM is effective in improving the critical ability of advanced clarification in physics courses. These research suggestions are to conduct trials on a wider scale and optimize LMS as a provision for students' initial skills.
