Research analysis of critical thinking skills in physics learning in higher education Budi Jatmiko, Nizar Rizki Rahman, Binar Kurnia Prahani, Faiz Hasyim, Hanandita Veda Saphira, Muhammed Akif Kurtuluş Multidisciplinary Reviews, 2026 Critical thinking skills are essential competencies in 21st-century education, particularly in physics learning at the higher education level, where students must analyze, evaluate, and solve complex problems systematically. This study aims to map research trends, challenges, and innovative instructional solutions for developing critical thinking skills in physics education through a systematic literature review (SLR) method via the PRISMA protocol. A total of 18 studies published between 2014 and 2024 were systematically collected from the Scopus database and SINTA 1–2 journals. The majority of the research was conducted in Indonesia, with two additional studies from Ethiopia. Most studies have applied quantitative experimental methods, especially pretest‒posttest designs, to assess the impact of learning interventions. Several studies have also utilized research and development (R&D) and mixed-method approaches. The analysis revealed diverse instructional models, including project-based learning (e.g., e-STEM, PjBLRBL), blended learning, inquiry-based learning, augmented reality integration, virtual laboratories, and pocket mobile learning. These approaches consistently improved students’ critical thinking skills, with N-Gain values ranging from moderate to high. Additional improvements in collaboration, communication, and creativity were also reported. The students’ responses to the innovative models were overwhelmingly positive. This review confirms that active, collaborative, project-based, inquiry-oriented, and technology-enhanced learning environments are highly effective in enhancing critical thinking in physics learning.
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF H5P-ASISTED DIFFERENTIATED-INDEPENDENT LEARNING MODEL TO INCREASE LOW-ABILITY STUDENTS’ SCIENTIFIC LITERACY Indrawati Wilujeng, Trise Nurul Ain, Adhy Putri Rilianti, Faiz Hasyim, Maskanatul Fiqiyah Jurnal Pendidikan IPA Indonesia, 2025 Scientific literacy is a critical skill in the era of Smart Society 5.0. Recent studies show that 76.9% of students are in the lowest category, the nominal level, in terms of science literacy. This prompted the researchers to examine the effectiveness of the H5P-assisted Differentiated-Independent Learning model in enhancing the scientific literacy of low-ability students. The state of the art in this research is demonstrated through a review of previous studies that explored the implementation of innovative learning models to promote scientific literacy. However, these models either fail to integrate the use of technology with pedagogical approaches or do not specifically address students with low ability. Therefore, the novelty of this study lies in the integration of H5P learning media as a technological resource, alongside a targeted focus on lower ability students as the primary research subjects. This study employed an experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design, including a replication class. The study revealed that the H5P-assisted Differentiated-Independent model was effective, as indicated by an average n-gain score of 0.74, which falls within the high category. The paired t-test demonstrated a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores across all classes. Furthermore, the independent t-test indicated a consistent increase in scientific literacy skills in all classes, with 83% of students responding very positively based on the questionnaire. In summary, the H5P-assisted Differentiated-Independent model has a positive impact on enhancing the scientific literacy skills of low-ability students.
The effectiveness of critical thinking-independent learning (CTIL) model to improve students' critical thinking skills on heat temperature material assisted by Android-based PhET simulations Faiz Hasyim, Tjipto Prastowo, Budi Jatmiko Aip Conference Proceedings, 2024 Critical thinking skills (CTS) are essential abilities for students to thrive in the VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) era.Developing students' CTS requires an appropriate learning model.The CTIL model, specifically tailored to enhance students' critical thinking abilities, is under examination in this study to evaluate its effectiveness.This research aims to assess the impact of the CTIL model, meeting valid standards, in improving students' CTS with the assistance of Android-based PhET Simulations.Employing a one-group pre-test and post-test design, the study involved 28 seventh-grade students without a control class.The efficacy of the CTIL model was evaluated using a CTS test sheet, with the collected data subjected to both descriptive and quantitative analyses.The outcomes demonstrated a noteworthy enhancement in students' CTS, indicated by an average n-gain of 0.75, categorized as high.The consistent CTS improvement was observed similarly in both classes.This research suggests that the CTIL model effectively enhances students' critical thinking skills in the context of science learning.
Quality of critical thinking-independent learning (CTIL) model and learning materials to improve students' critical thinking skills in applied science education Faiz Hasyim, Tjipto Prastowo, Budi Jatmiko Aip Conference Proceedings, 2024 Students' critical thinking skills (CTS) training for students must use suitable learning models.The CTIL model is a learning strategy created to raise students' CTS.The objective of this study is to evaluate the CTIL model's quality, including its learning resources' validity and reliability, as a part of the model for research and development.The main syntax of the CTIL model is (1) motivation, (2) identification and analysis of phenomena, (3) self-investigation, (4) data interpretation and communicating results, and (5) reflection.The results of this study indicated that the value of the content validity of the CTIL model was 3.76, which is in the very valid category, the construct validity was 3.72, which is in the very proper category, while the reliability of the CTIL model was 0.76 which is in the high-reliability category.The results of the CTIL model set's content validity was 3.49 in the very valid category, the construct validity was 3.52, which is in the very proper category, while the reliability of the CTIL model set was 0.82, which is in the high-reliability category.The CTIL model may raise students' CTS for scientific learning based on validity and reliability characteristics.The CTIL model will be empirically tested in future studies to establish its practicality and effectiveness in scientific education.
