Newton's Law Module and its Application to Improve Students' Critical-Thinking Skills

Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of a learning media, a PBL module in the Newton's law material and its application. The module validation was carried out for experts, users, and audience (students). The experts include the material expert, instructional design and media expert, and language expert. User validation includes 3 practitioners of education and the audience validation is performed on 10 students. The results showed the feasibility of the teacher module was 83.63% and the student module 83.69% so that the module is feasible for a larger-scale test. Then, the effectiveness test was undergone and based on the independent-sample test table, it is known that the Sig. (2 tailed) value is equal to 0.000 <0.05. Thus, we can conclude that the use of the PBL module is significantly different from the use of conventional methods (not using modules) to improve students' critical-thinking skills.
