Hermawan Agung Prasetya, 2016. Pengembangan Modul IPA Terpadu SMP/MTs Kelas VII Berbasis Problem Based Learning Dengan Tema Air Limbah Tetes Tebu Untuk Memberdayakan Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis Siswa. TESIS. Pembimbing I: Prof. Dr. Ashadi, Pembimbing II: Dr. Mohammad Masykuri, M.Si. Program Studi Magister Pendidikan Sains, Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan, Universitas Sebelas Maret Surakarta. ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui: 1) karakteristik modul IPA Terpadu SMP/MTs Kelas VII dengan model Problem Based Learning tema Air Limbah Tetes Tebu; 2) menguji kelayakan modul IPA Terpadu SMP/MTs Kelas VII dengan model Problem Based Learning tema Air Limbah Tetes Tebu; 3) menguji keefektifan modul IPA Terpadu SMP/MTs Kelas VII dengan model Problem Based Learning tema Air Limbah Tetes Tebu dalam meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kritis. Penelitian pengembangan modul IPA Terpadu ini menggunakan dilakukan mengikuti model R & D dari Thiagarajan yang terdiri dari 4 tahapan, yaitu pendefinisian (define), perancangan (design), pengembangan (develop), dan penyebaran (disseminate). Semua tahapan tersebut telah dilakukan sehingga data yang diperoleh dianalisis lebih lanjut. Pada desain penelitian ini terdapat pretest sebelum diberi perlakuan dan posttest setelah diberi perlakuan. Analisis data yang digunakan selama pengembangan adalah analisis deskriptif, analisis kelayakan modul berdasarkan skor kriteria, dan analisis tes kemampuan berpikir kritis, sikap dan psikomotor melalui N-gain score dari hasil pretest dan posttest. Hasil penelitian disimpulkan bahwa: 1) pengembangan modul berbasis problem based learning dengan tema air limbah tetes tebu mempunyai karakteristik modul dengan kegiatan pembelajaran berbasis problem based learning yang dapat meningkatkan 5 kemampuan berpikir kritis diantaranya memberi penjelasan sederhana, membuat inferensi, membangun ketrampilan dasar, mengatur taktik dan strategi, memberi penjelasan lanjut. Peningkatan kemampuan berpikir kritis yang paling menonjol adalah membangun ketrampilan dasar sedangkan keterampilan paling rendah peningkatannya adalah memberi penjelasan lanjut. Adapun produk dinilai dengan kelayakan isi, penyajian, Bahasa dan kegrafisan secara keseluruhan bernilai baik. 2) kelayakan modul berbasis problem based learning pada aspek kelayakan isi dengan jumlah 97% dengan kategori baik, aspek kelayakan penyajian dengan jumlah 97% dengan kategori baik, aspek kelayakan bahasa dengan jumlah 94% dengan kategori sangat baik dan kelayakan kegrafikan dengan jumlah 99% dengan kategori sangat baik. 3) hasil perhitungan N-gain memperoleh hasil 0,40 nilai tersebut menunjukkan bahwa kenaikan hasil kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa dalam kategori “Sedang“. Hal ini menunjukkan implementasi modul pembelajaran IPA SMP kelas VII berbasis problem based learning dengan tema air limbah tetes tebu yang dapat memberdayakan kemampuan berpikir kritis.

Development of the Problem Learning-Based Integrated Natural Science Module to Improve the Students Critical Thinking Skills with the Theme of Waste Water Molasse. Thesis: Advisor: Prof. Dr. Ashadi, Co-advisor: Dr. Mohammad Masykuri, M.Si. Science Education Study Program, the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Sebelas Maret University, Surakarta 2015. ABSTRACT The research aims to determinate: (1) the characteristics of the Problem Learning-Based Integrated Natural Science Module to improve the students’ critical thinking skills with the theme of molasse waste water, which can be used as the learning source of 7th Class the students at Junior Secondary School; (2) the feasibility of the Problem Learning-Based Integrated Natural Science Module to improve the students’ critical thinking skills with the theme of Molasse Waste Water; (3) the effectiveness of the Problem Learning-Based Integrated Natural Science Module to improve the students’ critical thinking skills with the theme of Molasse Waste Water. The research on the development of the Problem Learning-Based Integrated Natural Science Module used the procedure claimed R & D by Thiagarajan into 4 phases, namely: 1) define, 2) design, 3) develop, and 4) disseminate. Researh desaign used True-Eksperimental Design with type One Group Pretest-Postest Design. During the development the data of research were analyzed by using the descriptive model of analysis, the feasibility of the developed module was analyzed based on the scores of criteria, and the critical thinking skills test, pschicomotor was analyzed by using N-gain score from pretest and posttest. The results of research are concluded: 1) development of module-based problem based learning with the theme of waste water molasses has the characteristics of a module with activity-based learning problem-based learning that can improve five critical thinking skills of which gives a simple explanation, making inferences, building the skills base, set of tactics and strategy, to explain further. Improved critical thinking skills is the most prominent building skills in basic skills while the lowest increase was giving further explanation. The products assessed the feasibility of the content, presentation, language. 2) eligibility based modules problem based learning on the feasibility aspect fill with the amount of 97% in both categories, feasibility aspects of the presentation by the amount of 97% in both categories, feasibility aspects of the language with the amount of 94% with very good categories and eligibility grafis with the number of 99% to the category of very good. 3) N-gain calculation results obtained results of 0.40 value indicates that the increase in the results of students critical thinking skills in the category "Medium". This shows the module implementation class VII junior high science teaching problem based learning based on the theme of molasses wastewater to empower critical thinking skills.
