Effects of weather-related social distancing on city-scale transmission of respiratory viruses: a retrospective cohort study

Journal article

This research was conducted after the development of e-modules for Newton’s Laws. This was to analyze the students’ critical thinking skills consisting of indicators providing basic alignment, using logic thinking, providing arguments, conducting evaluations, and making decisions. The study was conducted on 62 students at two high schools in Surakarta. The study used descriptive analysis methods using differences in gain values, normality tests, homogeneity, and paired t sample tests and was conducted in 2021. The results showed that students’ critical thinking skills increased after using E-module. The increase was derived from an N-Gain value of 0.60 for overall critical thinking skills and for each aspect of the increase in the moderate category. This research is expected to capture the profile of students’ critical skills and the effectiveness of e-modules in online learning.Penelitian ini dilakukan setelah pengembangan e-modul tipe information search pada materi Hukum Newton. Hal ini untuk menganalisis kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa yang terdiri dari indikator memberikan keselarasan dasar, menggunakan logika berpikir, memberikan argumentasi, melakukan evaluasi, dan mengambil keputusan. Penelitian dilakukan terhadap 62 siswa di dua SMA di Surakarta. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif menggunakan perbedaan nilai gain, uji normalitas, homogenitas, dan uji t sampel berpasangan dan dilakukan pada tahun 2021. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa meningkat setelah menggunakan E-modul. Peningkatan tersebut berasal dari nilai N-Gain sebesar 0,60 untuk kemampuan berpikir kritis secara keseluruhan dan untuk setiap aspek peningkatannya berada pada kategori sedang. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menangkap profil keterampilan kritis siswa dan keefektifan e-modul dalam pembelajaran daring
