Penerapan Pembelajaran Fisika dengan Model Problem Based Learning (PBL) Berbantuan Mind Mapping Digital Proses Pembuatan Gerabah untuk Meningkatkan Keterampilan Berpikir Kritis Peserta Didik SMA

Implementation of Physics Learning with Problem Based Learning (PBL) Model Assisted by Digital Mind Mapping of Pottery Making Process to Improve High School Students’ Critical Thinking Skills

Berpikir kritis menjadi salah satu keterampilan utama dalam pendidikan abad ke-21 karena membantu peserta didik untuk menganalisis informasi, mengevaluasi argumen, dan memecahkan masalah secara logis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan keterlaksanaan, peningkatan keterampilan berpikir kritis, dan respons peserta didik terhadap model Problem Based Learning (PBL) berbantuan mind mapping digital proses pembuatan gerabah. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pre-test post-test control group design yang terdiri atas tiga kelas. Subjek penelitian ini ialah peserta didik X-1, X-5, dan X-6 SMA Negeri 7 Surabaya. Peserta didik diberikan tes awal sebelum pembelajaran dan tes akhir setelah pembelajaran dengan soal yang sama. Selanjutnya, data dianalisis menggunakan perhitungan N-gain, uji t-berpasangan, dan uji t-independen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keterlaksanaan pembelajaran dengan menggunakan model Problem Based Learning (PBL) berbantuan mind mapping digital proses pembuatan gerabah berhasil dilaksanakan dengan kategori sangat baik. Terdapat peningkatan skor keterampilan berpikir kritis dari hasil pre-test ke hasil post-test secara statistik signifikan pada , rata-rata N-gain berkategori tinggi dan tidak berbeda pada kelas eksperimen. Penerapan model Problem Based Learning (PBL) berbantuan mind mapping digital proses pembuatan gerabah untuk meningkatkan keterampilan berpikir kritis memiliki respons sangat baik dari peserta didik, sehingga dapat dijadikan suatu inovasi dalam pembelajaran. Saran untuk peneliti selanjutnya adalah penelitian dapat melakukan di sekolah lain ataupun jenjang yang lain, serta menggunakan metode lainnya yang dapat mendukung dan melakukan eksplorasi lebih luas terkait penggunaan model pembelajaran.

Critical thinking is one of the main skills in 21st-century education because it helps students to analyze information, evaluate arguments, and solve problems logically. This study aims to describe the implementation, improvement of critical thinking skills, and students' responses to the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by digital mind mapping of the pottery making process. The research method used is a pre-test post-test control group design consisting of three classes. The subjects of this study were students of X-1, X-5, and X-6 of SMA Negeri 7 Surabaya. Students were given a pre-test before learning and a post-test after learning with the same questions. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using N-gain calculations, paired t-tests, and independent t-tests. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of learning using the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by digital mind mapping of the pottery making process was successfully implemented with a very good category. There was an increase in critical thinking skill scores from the pre-test results to the post-test results which was statistically significant at α = 0.05, the average N-gain was in the high category and did not differ in the experimental class. The application of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by digital mind mapping of the pottery making process to improve critical thinking skills had a very good response from students, so it can be used as an innovation in learning. Suggestions for further researchers are that research can be conducted in other schools or other levels, and use other methods that can support and conduct broader exploration related to the use of learning models.
