EFFECTIVENESS OF TPS (THINKING, PAIRING AND SHARING) LEARNING MODEL ASSISTED BY QUIZIZZ TO TRAIN CRITICAL THINKING AND COLLABORATION SKILLS

<p>This research analyses the impact of writing to learn strategies on students' critical thinking and science communication skills, particularly on light and sound waves. The research employed a quasi-experimental approach, utilising a nonequivalent control group design. The study involved students from a high school in Palembang, with 32 participants in the experimental group and 32 in the control group. Before being tested on students, the critical thinking skills test items and science communication item sheets were evaluated by three experts. The research used pretest and posttest scores to assess the enhancement of students' cognitive abilities and critical thinking skills. The results showed that the experimental class showed significantly higher essential thinking abilities than the control class. The calculation of Cohen's d effect size is 1.5, which is included in the large category. The results of the analysis show that the test items can be used to test students. The results showed that students in the experimental class wrote conclusions well, but some wrote them less clearly due to repetition. The study concluded that the writing to learn approach effectively improved students' critical thinking skills, indicating that the writing to learn strategy can be an effective learning method. These findings suggest that integrating writing-based approaches in physics instruction can support the development of 21st-century skills. For future education practice, the test items can be combined with education technology, like flipbooks, to assess the development of students' critical thinking and communication skills</p>

For prospective elementary education teachers, critical thinking and collaboration skills in project-based science learning can impact environmental awareness. Critical thinking and collaboration skills can affect prospective teachers' environmental awareness differently, especially in science learning with environmental material. This research aims to determine the effect of critical thinking and collaboration skills on environmental awareness. Correlational research was used to determine the relationship between the two variables. Research data was obtained from 114 prospective Elementary Education teachers at UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang through project-based learning. Assessment of critical thinking skills was based on reports or essays from projects undertaken. The collaboration instrument was based on rubrics and peer questionnaires. The environmental awareness instrument used a 27-item questionnaire. The questionnaire was measured using a Likert scale of 1 (strongly disagree) – 4 (strongly agree). The data obtained was tested using SEM to determine the effect of critical thinking and collaboration skills on environmental awareness. The research results show that critical thinking and collaboration skills positively affect environmental awareness. This is indicated by a P-value for critical thinking skills is 0.047 0.05 and a P-value for collaboration skills is 0 0.05. Collaboration skills have a stronger effect on environmental awareness than critical thinking skills (path coefficients = 0.766). Indicators of collaboration skills tend to emphasize the aspect of caring more about others and the surrounding environment. The suggestion for further research is needed to see the effects of other variables on environmental awareness in project-based science learning, such as creative thinking and communication skills.

This paper examines the correlation of mathematical critical thinking and creative thinking skills towards students' mathematical achievements. A total of 115 eighth grade students from three schools in Sleman Regency were involved as the subject of this research. Data were obtained from the results of critical thinking skills test, the results of creative thinking skills test, and the results of mathematical achievement test on the learning material that students had studied in the previous semester. The instrument for testing critical thinking skills was the essay questions which measure the aspects of critical thinking skills, namely inference, analysis, evaluation, and interpretation, while the instrument for creative thinking skills test was also the essay questions which measure the aspects of creative thinking skills, namely originality, flexibility, and fluency. Besides, the data for the students' mathematical achievements were obtained from the report of mathematics achievement test prepared by the Mathematics Teachers' Working Group. The correlation of these variables was analyzed through multiple regression test. The analysis resulted a positive relationship between the mathematical critical thinking and creative thinking skills towards the mathematical achievement indicated by the regression coefficient R = 0.721 and R2 = 0.52. These values showed that the influence of mathematical critical thinking and creative thinking skills on the students' mathematical achievements was 52%, whereas 48% was influenced by other factors. Then, the coefficient value of creative thinking variable was β1 = 0.363 and the coefficient value of critical thinking variable was β2 = 0.477. These values indicated that if the creative thinking skill increases by one unit, the mathematical achievement increases by 0.363, on the other hand, if the critical thinking skill increases by one unit, the mathematical achievement increases by 0.477.

This research is motivated by the ability of students who are still lacking to identify, understand, state, find solutions, and draw conclusions to the problems. In addition, students also tend to be passive in learning. This study aims to analyze the effect of the problem-based learning model with the aid of the mentometer on elementary school teacher education students' critical thinking and collaboration skills. The method used in this study is a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group. Critical thinking skills were collected with critical thinking skills tests in the form of essay tests and observation sheets to determine collaboration skills. The results show significant differences in critical thinking and collaboration skills between students who study using problem-based learning with the aid of a mentimeter and students who learn without using problem-based learning with the aid of a mentimeter. So, it can be concluded that the problem-based learning model assisted by a mentimeter influences elementary school teacher education students' critical thinking and collaboration skills.

Project-based learning is a learning approach that emphasizes students as learning actors who facilitate students to construct their knowledge. However, the application of project-based learning to learning at the tertiary level is a learning syntax that has not been designed by adjusting the characteristics of learning for the tertiary level. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of case study-based learning conducted using a hybrid project-based learning model in improving students' critical thinking and creative thinking skills. This study used a non-equivalent control group research design with 70 samples divided into the experimental and control groups. The instruments used are standard critical thinking skills tests, namely Cornell Critical Thinking Test (CCTT) level X, creative thinking skills test instruments, and observation sheets. The results showed that hybrid project-based learning effectively improved students' critical and creative thinking skills. The increase in students' critical thinking skills is higher than students' creative thinking skills.

The study aims to describe the effect of the inquiry learning model on student critical thinking skills and collaborative skills. The one-group pretest-posttest design was used in the study. The samples were 31 students in grade eight of junior high school in Surabaya, Indonesia. Learning performance data is obtained through observation methods, students' critical thinking skills data through writing test methods, and collaborative skills with observation methods. Learning implementation data is then analyzed with mode formulas. Critical thinking skill data is analyzed using the paired-sample t-test. Collaboration skill data is analyzed with the mode formula. Critical thinking skills indicators are providing simple explanations, building basic skills, concluding, providing advanced explanations, and organizing strategies and tactics. Collaborative skill indicators are working productively with a group of friends, being jointly responsible for getting work done, participating respectfully in discussions, debates, and disagreements, committing to putting group goals first, showing flexibility, and compromising. The study showed that tcount=12.961 and ttable=30. It means that a structured inquiry learning model can improve students' critical and collaborative thinking skills.

Critical thinking skills are one of four skills that students must have in the 21st century. However, several research results show that students' critical thinking skills in Indonesia are still very low. This research aims to test the effectiveness of the Problem-Based Flipped Classroom (PBFC) model assisted by e-Modules in improving the critical thinking skills of prospective physics teachers. This type of research is quasi-experimental with a non-equivalent control group design. The research was conducted at the Physics Education Study Program at the University of Mataram. The research subjects consisted of 52 prospective physics teachers who were studying Basic Physics I. Data was collected using a critical thinking skills test given before and after treatment. The results of data analysis show that the average score of critical thinking skills of prospective physics teachers in the experimental class and control class both increased to the moderate category with N-Gain scores of 0.63 and 0.48 respectively. Based on the results of the t-test at the 95% confidence level with the degree of freedom dk= 52 it shows that there is a significant difference in the increase in Critical Thinking Skills between the experimental class and the control class with a value of tcount= 2.21 with a value of ttable = 2.01 . Apart from that, based on the results of the effect size calculation, it shows that the effectiveness of the E-Module assisted PBFC model in improving students' critical thinking skills relative to the conventional model is different in the large category. In other words, the PBFC model assisted by e-modules can be used as an alternative learning in the classroom to improve the critical thinking skills of prospective physics teachers or students in general.

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using case method-based teaching materials with QR code videos on undergraduate students' critical thinking skills in mechanics.
