Learning Innovation in the 3T Area: The Effectiveness of Moodle-Based Blended Learning on Critical Thinking Skills

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of blended learning MOODLE-based in improving the critical thinking skills (CTS) of prospective teacher students in 3T (Frontier, Outermost, and Disadvantaged) areas. This research uses mixed research methods (mixed methods). The research design used one group pre-test and a post-test design repeated without control classes. The sample in this study was 34 prospective teacher students in semester 1 of the 2023/2024 academic year at universities in Sumba - NTT - Indonesia. Learning blended combines face-to-face meetings with the usage platform e-learning MOODLE as the primary media. Learning design focuses on active interaction, critical discussion, and problem-solving through online assignments and forums. The instruments used in this research consisted of the CTS test and the student response questionnaire. Data analysis techniques use quantitative and qualitative descriptive, paired t-test, N-Gain, and test-t independent. The research results show that learning blended learning MOODLE-based effectiveness in increasing CTS is shown by (a) there is a statistically significant increase in CTS test scores at an alpha (real level) of 5%; (b) the average CTS N-Gain is at least in the medium category (N-Gain≥.30); and (c) the average N-Gain is consistent (not different) in the three classes The research results concluded that learning blended MOODLE-based is effective in increasing the CTS of prospective teacher students in 3T areas. Hopefully, these findings can become a reference for educational institutions developing creative and responsive learning strategies, especially in areas with limited access to education.
