Development of the PDEODE-WEB Model in Blended Learning to Improve the Students Critical Thinking Skills

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to determine (1) the quality of the predict-discuss-explain-observe-discuss-explain-website (PDEODE-WEB) development in the blended learning of digestive system covered in valid aspects, (2) the impact of the PDEODE-WEB in blended learning on digestive system toward the critical thinking skill of high school students. Type of this research is a 4D that include Define, Design, Development, and Disseminate. Data analysis techniques that used are descriptive and inferential statistics using ANAVA tests. Research shows that (1) the results obtained from the PDEODE-WEB model in Blended Learning with tools, are empirically valid and reliable in learning, (2) the PDEODE-WEB model in Blended Learning has a significant influence on improving the thinking skills of SMA XI students at SMAN 4 Pekanbaru. This result is proven by the ANAVA test results with a Sig < 0.05. Then it can be concluded that there are improved thinking skills of students who learn to use PDEODE-WEB in Blended Learning. Therefore, the PDEODE-WEB model in Blended Learning can effectively improve the students' critical thinking skills on the digestive system material and found an average value of N-Gain of 0.6 with a moderate category.
