The Influence of PBL Model with SDGs Approach on Students' Critical Thinking in Environmental Changes
Abstract
The 21st century education demands 4C skills (communication, collaboration, creativity and critical thinking) to support students' understanding and knowledge. Critical thinking skills that are classified low can be influenced by learning models. The Problem Based Learning-Sustainable Development Goals model can be applied to train critical thinking skills. This research aims to determine the influence of the PBL-SDGs on critical thinking skills in environmental change issues. The research method uses Pretest Posttest Control Group Design. The sample consisted of 66 students at 44 Jakarta Senior High School with 33 students in each class selected using Simple Random Sampling. The essay instrument is used to measure critical thinking skills based on the Ennis indicators. The research results show that the PBL-SDGs model is able to improve critical thinking skills as seen from the N-gain in the experimental class of 0.607 and the control class of 0.505 in the medium category. The highest aspects of critical thinking skills at experimental class and control class is The Basic Support with scores of 60,00 and 56,94. Based on the independent t-test, a significance of 0.005 < 0.05 is obtained, it means PBL-SDGs model has an influence on critical thinking skills.
