PROBLEM-BASED MATHEMATICS TEACHING KITS INTEGRATED WITH ICT TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ CRITICAL THINKING ABILITY IN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOLS IN MEDAN
Abstract: This study was aimed
to develop a set of integrated problem-based mathematics teaching kits
implemented with ICT to improve the critical thinking ability of junior high
school students. The study used 4-D learning device development model (define,
design, develop, disseminate). The data were collected through the observation
of the learning process and students' activity, students' questionnaire
responses, and a critical thinking ability test. The findings showed that
mathematics teaching materials consisting of teaching kits as a teachers’
handbook based on ICT integrated problem-based materials completed with lesson
plans, worksheets, and the use of media learning were appropriate to use.Based
on the test results conducted in the field, the teaching kits can enhance the
students' critical thinking ability. The findings showed that the average gain
in two schools was in the range of g> 0.7, which means that the students'
critical thinking ability belonged to the high category, while that of the
third school was in the range of 0.3 g 0.7 at 0.62
which means the students’ critical thinking ability belonged to the fair
category.
