DEVELOPMENT OF A LEARNING MODULE BASED ON A CONTEXTUAL APPROACH TO IMPROVE CRITICAL THINKING ABILITY OF GRADE V STUDENTS OF STATE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 1 PAGERSARI KALIDAWIR DISTRICT TULUNGAGUNG REGENCY
Keywords:
Learning Module, Contextual Approach, Critical Thinking SkillsAbstract
In order to enhance the critical thinking abilities
of fifth grade students at SD Negeri 1 Pagersari, Kalidawir
District, Tulungagung Regency, this study intends to create
a contextual approach-based learning module. In order to
promote active participation in the learning process, this
module is made to offer learning experiences that are
applicable to students' everyday life. A 4D development
paradigm (Define, creation, Develop, Disseminate) is used
in this study, which entails methodical processes in product
creation and testing.
Thirty fifth-grade pupils served as the study's subjects.
Documentation, assessments of critical thinking skills,
questionnaires, and observation sheets were among the tools
utilized. With an average score of 88%, the results
demonstrated that experts regarded the contextual approachbased learning module as highly valid. With an average
improvement in test scores from 65.3 on the pretest to 83.7
on the posttest, the limited trials demonstrated the
effectiveness of this module in enhancing students' critical
thinking abilities. The program received very favorable
feedback from the students, with 92% of them saying that it
made the content easier and more engaging for them to learn.
This contextual approach-based learning module can be
utilized as an effective alternative learning medium to
enhance students' critical thinking abilities, according to the
research findings. This study suggests testing in a broader
setting and more material development
