Profile Of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Model Assisted By PhET to Improbe Critical Thinking Skills Of High School Student in Dynamoc Electrical Materials

Penelitian ini membahas tentang penerapan pembelajaran berbasis masalah (PBL) berbantuan teknologi pendidikan fisika (PhET) sebagai laboratorium virtual untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa SMA pada materi kelistrikan dinamis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui profil kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa dan penerapan PBL binaan PhET di SMA. Metode penelitian ini adalah studi pendahuluan dengan analisis deskriptif kualitatif melalui tes tertulis, angket respon siswa, dan wawancara guru. Temuan keterampilan berpikir kritis siswa dikategorikan menjadi tiga tingkatan (rendah, sedang, dan tinggi). Tujuh belas siswa dalam kategori rendah, lima puluh tiga siswa dalam kategori sedang, dan tiga puluh siswa dalam kategori tinggi. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa di SMA Negeri Surabaya berada pada kategori sedang, dan diperlukan latihan soal untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa.

This study discusses the implementation of problem-based learning (PBL) assisted by physics education technology (PhET) as a virtual laboratory to improve the critical thinking skills of high school students on dynamic electrical materials. The purposes of this research were to obtain the profile of students' critical thinking skills and the implementation of PBL assisted by PhET in senior high schools. This research method was a preliminary study with a qualitative descriptive analysis through written tests, student response questionnaires, and teacher interviews. The finding of students’ critical thinking skills was categorized into three levels (low, moderate, and high). Seventeen students in the low category, fifty-three students in the moderate cateogy, and thirty students in the high category. The conclusion of this study revealed that students' critical thinking skills at the senior public school Surabaya were in the moderate categoty, and training questions were needed to improve students’ critical thinking skills.
