Abstract
The 21st Century learning focuses on 4Cs, so students’s target can have basic abilities. Current learning methods are less suitable with 4Cs skills in geography subjects. In addition, students are required to have global awareness. Learning methods that are suitable for improving students' critical thinking and communication skills are using Model united nations (MUN). This research is Analysis-Design-Development-Implementation-Evaluation (ADDIE) development model with data collection that is student need analysis, product validation, implementation validation, and audience validation. Data collection from 59 high school students found 60% of students needed the development of a fun learning method and 92% wanted MUN to be applied to learning. The results of the product validation gained a score of 97.58% and the results of the validation of the implementation got 95% and the results of the validation of the audience based on the critical thinking skills assessment got an average score of 82.58 and communication skills assessment got an average score of 84.45 with 31 students. Based on the results of the validation of the product development is considered very appropriate without revision. Thus, Model United Nations as a learning method is able to train and measure students' critical thinking skills and communication skills.
Highlights
Today, the 21st-century curriculum paradigm shift requires educators and students to be able to keep abreast of the times in terms of competencies, skills, attitudes, and learning tools
The object of this research was the learning and teaching process especially the learning method with the research subjects namely, teachers and students in the learning process. it focuses on making products in the form of learning methods that are used to measure and improve communication skills and the ability to think critically through geography in high school according to 21st-century learning
Curriculum analysis obtained at SMAN 1 Batu using the 2013 curriculum, that is, the need for the use of learning methods that can support 21st Century learning that is more specific in measuring critical thinking skills and communication skills in students because of the difficulty of growing these abilities, especially in geography subjects
Summary
The 21st-century curriculum paradigm shift requires educators and students to be able to keep abreast of the times in terms of competencies, skills, attitudes, and learning tools. Learning methods that are appropriate for the 21st-century curriculum in the context of communication and critical thinking such as role-play and debate, but based on their characteristics do not meet the interdisciplinary themes of global awareness, civic literacy, health literacy, and environmental literacy. There needs to be innovations in experiential learning-based learning methods as well as fulfilling students' critical communication and thinking skills with the themes of global awareness, civic literacy, health literacy, and environmental literacy. Main focus in MUN is case study about states’ problem and it can enhance students’ critical thinking capabilities [11] This method trains students to be ready to become Indonesian delegates to the UN Assembly in the future and to show the existence of youth on a global scale. The purpose of developing this MUN method is to produce MUN learning methods to improve students' critical thinking skills and communication skills and test the accuracy, efficiency, and effectiveness of MUN learning methods in improving critical thinking skills and student communication skills with experiential learning
