Articulate Storyline chemistry learning with socio-scientific issues to enhance students' critical thinking
Downloads
Critical thinking is essential for students’ academic and life success, yet many students perform poorly because instructional approaches often fail to promote higher-order thinking. This study developed an interactive learning medium that integrates Socio-Scientific Issues (SSI) using Articulate Storyline and evaluated its validity, practicality, and effectiveness in improving students’ critical thinking about chemical bonding. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) design based on the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). Participants were 67 eleventh-grade students (34 from XI-1 and 33 from XI-4), aged 15–16 years. Data were collected using validation sheets, questionnaires, observation sheets, and pretest–posttest critical thinking tests. Results showed the media was valid (content validity index = 0.97), highly practical (mean practicality score = 4.33), and effective (mean N-gain = 0.77), indicating substantial improvement in students’ critical thinking. The study concludes that SSI-based interactive materials developed with Articulate Storyline are feasible and effective for teaching chemical bonding; theoretically, the findings support the role of SSI and digital interactive media in fostering higher-order thinking, and practically, teachers are recommended to adopt these materials to enhance critical-thinking instruction.
