This research aims to
develop a learning model 4A (phenomenon analysis, information analysis, data
analysis, findings analysis) that is valid, practical, and effective to improve
the analytical thinking skills of secondary school students in natural science
subjects. Development of learning model 4A using Plomp which includes 3 phases,
namely introduction, development of prototype, and assessment. The development
phase consists of a literature study that is needs analysis and context and
field study of natural science in secondary school. The prototype development
phase includes the development of models and its teaching material. The
management phase includes the validation and trial model of the learning and
its teaching material. The limited trial is implemented in one (1) Grade B
accredited secondary school in Sidoarjo and extensive trials are applied in 3
schools which are accredited A, B, and C in Sidoarjo with each school there are
2 classes. The trial design uses Pre-Test Post-Test Group Design replication.
The data collection methods include validation, observation, tests,
documentation, and polls. The data analysis techniques include validity,
practicality, and effectiveness of learning model 4A. Based on the results of
the data analysis, obtained: 1) learning model 4A fulfills valid content and a
construct that is supported by a valid and reliable learning device; 2) The 4A
learning model meets practicality criteria supported by the implementation of
the model 4A syntax in both limited and broad trials, relevant student
activity, and resolved constraints; 3) The 4A Learning model meets effective
criteria due to the improvement of the analytical skills of the students from
various learning materials, classes, and schools with the category N-gain
moderate average and the student's positive response to the model Lesson 4A.
Thus, it can be concluded that the 4A learning model has fulfilled the valid,
practical and effective elements to improve the analytical thinking skills of
secondary school students in natural science subjects.
