Effect of PDEODE-STEM Learning on Students’ Critical Thinking Ability on Work and energy Topics

Abstract

This study aims to see the effectiveness of the implementation of PDEODE-STEM in improving students' critical thinking ability. The study was conducted at SMAN 8 Malang, with a sample of 108 students divided into three classes with a total of 36 students in each class. To achieve this goal 10 essay questions were designed based on indicators of critical thinking. Data analysis was performed with one-way ANOVA test with post hoc test, effect size and N-gain. The results showed that in the three classes there were significant differences in pretest-posttest critical thinking ability. However, classes taught with PDEODE-STEM are better than PDEODE and conventional.
