Education in the 21st century presents a complex challenge. The younger generation is expected to possess the 4Cs: critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity. One of the main pillars of the 21st century is Critical Thinking Skills (CTS). Critical thinking skills can be developed through physics education, particularly through the use of experimental methods. The experimental method enables students to learn to observe, take measurements, collect data, analyze data, and draw conclusions. Not all schools can conduct learning activities effectively, resulting in a low implementation rate of experimental activities. This is due to limited learning resources, the unavailability of teaching materials, and time constraints in the classroom. Therefore, the development of an integrated learning module that incorporates experimental tools to simultaneously cultivate students’ critical thinking skills represents an effort to support solutions to these emerging challenges.
The objective of this study is to develop a learning module on rotational dynamics that integrates microcontroller-based experimental tools and to test its validity and practicality. This research can be used by students as teaching material so that they can be trained to learn independently without always needing assistance from teachers, with the goal of saving time. Additionally, this teaching material is used to create a new, interactive, and participatory learning environment through experimental activities on rotational dynamics. This research is expected to address issues related to time efficiency, increase student enthusiasm in learning, and develop students’ critical thinking skills.
Research on the development of a learning module on rotational dynamics integrated with a microcontroller-based experimental apparatus to train high school students’ critical thinking skills was conducted at the Physics Education Laboratory of the Department of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, University of Riau, and at SMA N 15 Pekanbaru. The research design employed was research and development (R&D) using the ADDIE model. The research object was the learning module on rotational dynamics
integrated with a microcontroller-based experimental apparatus. The research data comprised validation and practicality assessments. Validation was performed by three validators who are experts in the field of teaching materials. Practicality testing was conducted at SMA N 15 Pekanbaru by three teachers and ten students. The data analysis technique used in this study was descriptive analysis, specifically by calculating Aiken’s V and drawing conclusions.
The development of this learning module began with an analysis phase, during which the researcher conducted a needs analysis through a literature review and the distribution of questionnaires to physics teachers. The results of the questionnaire revealed that 75% of students still lack adequate critical thinking skills, and 90% of students also struggle with learning rotational dynamics due to the large number of formulas involved. This was also due to the fact that 80% of teachers taught using the discussion method, 10% used the project method, and 10% used the experimental method. 75% of teachers agreed that critical thinking skills could be developed through experimental activities. Therefore, 75% of teachers agreed to the development of a rotational dynamics learning module integrated with a microcontroller-based experimental tool to develop students’ critical thinking skills. This was followed by the development phase, accompanied by a validation process by validators and an assessment of practicality based on feedback from teachers and students. The validation results for the learning module on rotational dynamics integrated with microcontroller-based experimental tools yielded an overall average score of 0.89, with all scores falling within the “valid” category. Meanwhile, regarding the practicality of the microcontroller-based experimental apparatus integrated rotational dynamics learning module as assessed by teachers and students, the response for each item was also ≥3. Therefore, the microcontroller-based experimental apparatus integrated rotational dynamics learning module designed to develop high school students’ critical thinking skills is deemed valid and practical.
Overall, the learning module on rotational dynamics, which integrates a microcontroller-based experimental tool to develop high school students’ critical thinking skills, has been found to be valid and practical, making it suitable for use as teaching material in high schools. This study has only reached the stage of limited
testing; it is recommended that the developed learning module be implemented on a large scale to determine its effectiveness and further refined to address any issues that arise during instruction.
