Kata-kata kunci:    Perangkat pembelajaran, media Electronic Book (E-book), Keterampilan Berpikir Kritis, Peserta Didik SMP.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan perangkat pembelajaran IPA dengan media Electronic Book (E-Book) pada materi Sistem Gerak Manusia yang layak untuk melatih Keterampilan Berpikir Kritis peserta didik SMP. Perangkat pembelajaran yang dikembangkan meliputi Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran, Media Electronic Book (E-Book), Tes Keterampilan Berpikir Kritis. Pengembangan perangkat merupakan modifikasi dari model 4-D yang dilakukan pada peserta didik kelas VIII SMP semester genap tahun 2020/2021, dan dilakukan pengulangan sebanyak 2 kali. Rancangan penelitian perangkat menggunakan Quasi Eksperimental Pretest-Posttest Design. Pengumpulan data menggunakan metode validasi, observasi, tes dan angket. Data penelitian yang dihasilkan adalah validitas, kepraktisan dan efektivitas perangkat pembelajaran yang dianalisis secara deskriptif kuantitatif dan kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa (a) perangkat pembelajaran yang dikembangkan berkategori sangat valid, (b) kegiatan pembelajaran terlaksana sangat baik dengan rata-rata skor 3.91, (c) aktivitas peserta didik dalam pembelajaran terlaksana sangat baik dengan rata-rata skor 3.89, (d) respon peserta didik terhadap media Electronic Book (E-Book) sangat baik dengan persentase 96.44 %, dan (e) hasil tes kemampuan berpikir kritis peserta didik ada peningkatan yang tinggi, kemampuan berpikir kritis meningkat dari 40.8 (sangat kurang kritis) menjadi 85.93 (sangat kritis). Simpulan perangkat pembelajaran IPA dengan media Electronic Book (E-Book) yang dikembangkan layak digunakan untuk melatih keterampilan berpikir kritis peserta didik SMP.

Key words : learning tools, electronic book media (E-book), critical learning skills, junior high school students

The aim of this research is to produce a Science learning tool using the Electronic Book (E Book) on the topic of Human Movement System which is appropriate to train the junior high school students’ Critical Thinking Skills. The learning tools which are developed include Learning Implementation Plan, Electronic Book Media (E-Book} and Critical Thinking Test. The development of tools is a modification of model 4-D which was put on trial on the 8^th grade junior high schools students  in the second semester of the academic year 2020-2021, and was repeated twice. The research design trial used One-Group  Pretest-Posttest Design.

The data collection used validation method, observation, test and questionnaire. The result of the research data are validation, practicality and effectiveness of the learning tools analyzed  quantitative and qualitative descriptive. The result of the research showed that (a) the learning tools developed are in the very valid category, (b) the learning activity was done really well with the average score 3.9, (c) the students’ activity in learning was done very well with the average score of 3.89, (d) the students’ response towards the Electronic Book media (E-book) was very good at the percentage of 96.44%, and (e) the result of the student’s critical thinking ability test showed a high improvement, the critical thinking ability was highly improved from 40.8 (very not critical) to 85.93 (very critical). It is concluded that the developed science learning tool using the electronic book media is feasible to use in order to train the junior high school student’s critical thinking skills.
