Abstract

This study aims to develop a valid and practical e-learning model for critical thinking skills using the moodle platform in the lesson of electromagnetic induction. Dick and Carey instructional design model is applied for the product development—which consists of nine stages, (1) instructional goals identification, (2) instructional analysis, (3) learners and contexts analysis, (4) objective performance arrangement, (5) assessment instruments development, (6) instructional strategy’s plan, (7) instructional material selection, (8) preparation for conducting a formative evaluation of the instruction, and (9) revise instruction. The results reveal the moodle design is valid and practical regarding expert and user perspectives, respectively. Besides, there is an improvement of student’s critical thinking skills according to the obtained n-gain score, which stands for 0.38.

Highlights

  • In this day and age, the development of craftsmanship and technology in higher education has shifted the learning paradigm from conventional to technology-based (Newman 2012)

  • This paper presents our developed moodle-based course, which includes an array of activities that combine critical thinking skills with content in physics subject

  • The completed instructional goals can subsequently be used to conduct instructional analysis before analyzing the product’s learners and contexts. This analysis stands as a matrix for objective performance arrangements following critical thinking skill indicators

Summary

Introduction

In this day and age, the development of craftsmanship and technology in higher education has shifted the learning paradigm from conventional to technology-based (Newman 2012). Both terms— science and technology, are simultaneously interconnected in producing numerous learning product innovations such as e-learning (Archambault 2010; Huang 2010; Cronje 2010). The self-regulated learners are personally motivated, their own master, and metacognitively oriented (Gaeta 2012) This metacognitive turns out to be a contributing factor in fostering critical thinking skills (Sadeghi 2014; Peña-ayala 2015)
