The Effectiveness of Blended Learning Assisted by Collaboration of Edmodo Probing-Prompting in Improving Learning Outcomes and Critical Thinking Ability of Students at Universitas Madura

Technological developments have a positive impact on education. Students are required to have knowledge and skills as a result of learning. However, the results of teaching and learning conducted at the University of Madura have not achieved the expected learning objectives. The purpose of the study was to determine the effectiveness of blended learning assisted by probing-prompting Edmodo collaboration in improving learning outcomes and critical thinking skills. This research is quasi-experimental with a 2x2 factorial design. Determination of the sample using random sampling from 4 odd-even classes with a total of 65 students majoring in Accounting at the University of Madura. Data collection techniques used pretest-posttest with the help of the IBM Statistics-24 application. The normality test used one-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov and the homogeneity test used Levene with a significance of 5%. Hypothesis testing with two-way analysis of variance based on a 2x2 factorial design. The research data showed an increase in learning outcomes and critical thinking skills in the BLPP class from pretest to post-test was 0.39 and 0.80 with a total of 1.19 percent. While the PPF2F class increased from pretest to post-test by 0.42 and 0.63 with a total of 1.05 percent. Based on the results of the research data analysis, it was concluded that the blended learning model assisted by the probing-prompting collaboration Edmodo was effective in improving student learning outcomes and critical thinking skills in introductory accounting courses. The increase obtained in addition to internal factors is also due to the advantages that exist in the BLPP. Therefore, the selection of models and approaches used is one of the determinants of achieving learning objectives. So, the BLPP model is a learning model that can influence improving learning outcomes and critical thinking skills.

Enhancement of students' critical thinking ability in the algebraic function derivatives application based on student learning styles during online learning

Critical Thinking (CT) ability is an essential skill needed in the 21st century. However, this skill is still under-explored by paying attention to the tendency of Learning Styles (LS) students when online learning is carried out. Therefore, this study aims to determine the differences in the improvement of students' CT abilities based on LS tendencies (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic) when online learning is carried out on algebraic function derivative application materials. Consisting of 4 essay questions given twice, before the sample in this study was a collection of CT, and LS ability scores of class XI science students in Langsa City, totaling 26 students. The researchers collected the data using an LS questionnaire of 30 statements and a written test of CT ability after online learning. Both instruments have been validated. The research method is a pre-experimental design with the type of one-group pretest-posttest. The results showed that (1) students had more dominant kinesthetic LS tendencies compared to visual and auditory LS; (2) students with visual LS have criteria for increasing critical thinking skills in the high category, while auditory and kinesthetic LS is in the medium category; (3) there is a significant difference in the acquisition of CT abilities between visual, auditory, and kinesthetic LS, where students with Visual LS outperform students with Auditory and kinesthetic LS; (4) there are differences in the improvement of CT abilities between students with visual, auditory, and kinesthetic styles in online learning. The improvement in CT ability of students with visual LS is greater than that of Auditory and kinesthetic LS.

Students' mathematical critical thinking ability in problem-based learning viewed based on learning style

The development of mathematical critical thinking ability and individual uniqueness in the learning of prospective teacher students needs attention so that they have sufficient provisions in their future work. This study aims to analyze the differences in prospective teacher students' mathematical critical thinking ability in their achievement and improvement from two different learning models and their learning styles. Problem-based learning was used in the experimental group, while the control group used conventional learning. This study used a quasi-experimental quantitative method with the pretest-posttest non-equivalent group design. Data were collected using: mathematical critical thinking ability test and a learning style questionnaire. Data were taken from 56 students of the Mathematics Education Study Program, Universitas Negeri Semarang. Data analysis was performed using independent samples t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and normalized gain. The results showed that in the achievement and improvement of mathematical critical thinking ability, students who obtained Problem-based learning overall and viewed from a kinesthetic learning style were better than conventional learning. Meanwhile, in terms of auditory and kinesthetic learning styles, the mathematical critical thinking ability of students who obtained descriptive problem-based learning was better. However, in statistical testing, the two groups were not significantly different. Based on these results, Problem-based learning is considered adequate for developing mathematical critical thinking ability, especially for kinesthetic learning styles.
