Education and Critical Thinking Development

The Indonesian 2013 curriculum demands that a learning process emphasize three domains, namely attitude, knowledge, and skills. One learning environment that supports the curriculum is the Investigative Science Learning Environment (ISLE), which is based on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). The ISLE-based STEM approach is a learning approach that encourages students to be active, creative and innovative in conducting observations and experiments on a project. The ISLE-based STEM method can help students solve actual scientific problems through collaborative group activities. The development of worksheets lays an important role in ISLE-based STEM approach. The purpose of this study was to develop worksheets of the ISLE-based STEM by gathering feedback and learning outcomes from grade 10 high-school students in Banda Aceh. This research employed the ADDIE (Analysis-Design-Develop-Implement-Evaluate) development model. The result of the analysis of worksheet validation by experts reached 3.91, indicating a valid criterion for a worksheet to be used in a learning process. The percentage of students' responses to learning was 85%, indicating positive students' responses to learning using worksheets developed, while the test of learning outcomes after the implementation of ISLE-based STEM approach reached 86%. These results indicate that ISLE-based STEM worksheets can be used for grade 10 high-school students.
