Abstrak
This study explores whether the Problem-Based STAD learning model can enhance students rsquo critical thinking skills with greater improvement compared to conventional lecture-based instruction on the topic Human Impact on Ecosystems. A quasi-experimental method was employed using test items as the primary instrument. A total of 31 seventh-grade students from class VII I served as the control group while 30 students from class VII G formed the experimental group. Descriptive analysis was conducted to describe the post-test results for each indicator of critical thinking skills. Subsequently an independent t-test was performed to examine the differences in critical thinking abilities between students in the experimental and control groups. An N-gain test was also carried out to determine the magnitude of improvement in critical thinking skills among students in the experimental class compared to the control class. Based on the findings the Problem-Based STAD learning model was shown to improve the critical thinking skills of students in the experimental group to a moderate level with an N-gain score of 0.43 whereas conventional instruction resulted in a low level of improvement with an N-gain score of 0.24. This study focuses on the implementation of a Problem-Based STAD learning model derived from real-life student issues making the learning process more contextual. Therefore the topic Human Impact on Ecosystems was chosen due to its relevance to students everyday experiences.
