The use of android-assisted comics to enhance students' critical thinking skill

Abstract

This study aims to determine improvements in students' critical thinking skills through android-based physics comics. This type of research is quantitative research using a one-group pretest-posttest design with a pre-experimental approach. The research sample was determined by purposive sampling as many as 44 students. This research was conducted in two classes experiments: experiment A and experiment B. The media used is an android-based comic about impulse-momentum material. Critical thinking skills of students analyzed by the results of the pretest and posttest. The results of the two classes tested showed an increase in posttest scores. N-gain for the experiment A and the experiment B shows the increase in the value of the pretest and posttest is in the medium category. Thus it was concluded that the Android-based physics comic that was developed could improve students' critical thinking skills.
