The Influence of Active Learning Strategy which is integrated with Computer Simulation on the Students' Critical Thinking Skill
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Research & Method in Education (IOSRJRME) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
This research was a quasi-experimental design that aims to obtain a description of students' critical thinking skills between the students taught by active learning strategy which is integrated with computer simulation and the students taught using conventional learning at physics department in academic year 2017/2018. Based on the result of expert validation analysis on instructional device, it is found that all learning tools namely computer simulation, semester learning plan, student worksheet, and critical thinking instruments are valid and reliable with above 90% average value which is in a very high category. The result of the statistical analysis shows that the average score of critical thinking ability of experimental class is 19.53 in a high category while control class is 0.82 with a low category. In addition, the variance and standard deviation of the experimental class were 3.264 and 1.81 while for the control class it was 14.33 and 3.79. It indicates that the data deviation in control class is smaller than in the experimental class. Based on the non-parametric inferential analysis, it is found that the application of active learning strategy which is integrated with computer simulation significantly influences student's critical thinking ability. This study found that there is a tendency that the critical thinking skills of students increased after giving treatment. Based on hypothesis test through two free sample test namely Mann-Whitney test, it can be concluded that there is a significant difference in critical thinking ability between students who taught using active learning strategy which is integrated with computer simulation and the students who taught using conventional learning.
