Abstract

The learning applied to the revised 2013 edition of the curriculum requires students to master critical thinking skills. One of the efforts to improve critical thinking skills is by applying Blended Learning. The purpose of this study was to determine the improvement of critical thinking skills using Moodle-based Blended Learning. This type of research is a Quasi Experiment with a non-equivalent research design. Sampling using purposive sampling technique, in order to obtain class X MIPA 4 as the experimental class and X MIPA 5 as the control class at SMAN 1 Cisolok. This research instrument uses essay questions to test critical thinking skills in straight motion material as many as ten questions. The results showed an increase in critical thinking skills of experimental class students obtained an N-gain of 0.60 while an increase in critical thinking skills of control class students obtained an N-gain of 0.56. The results of the analysis of hypothesis testing using t-test using Blended Learning obtained t count pretest of 1.07 and posttest of 1.53 while t table of -2.048 so that t count > t table and H0 is rejected while Ha is accepted. Thus, it can be concluded that there is an increase in students^ critical thinking skills by applying Moodle-based Blended Learning on straight motion
