Edmodo is an educational application with a facebook-like social media platform that can be used in learning. In general, teachers rarely use information-based learning, communication and technology, and only focus on learning by using Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) alone without utilizing the maximum technology applications for educational purposes. The purpose of this research is to analyze the difference of critical thinking ability between learners which applied E-Learning learning based on Edmodo without Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach with students who applied E-Learning learning based on Edmodo with Contextual Teaching and Learning approach CTL). This type of research is Quasi Experimental Design with Nonequivalent Control Group Design research conducted at SMA (SLUA) ​​Saraswati 1 Denpasar from February to April. The sample in this research is the students of class X MIA 5 as control class and class X MIA 1 as experiment class. Critical thinking ability is measured using essay test by using rubric of critical thinking ability of learners. The results obtained by using One Way ONOVA test show that there is a significant difference from the application of Edmodo based E-Learning learning with CTL approach to students' critical thinking ability (p = 0,05). The conclusion of this research is the application of Edmodo based E-learning learning with CTL approach better than Edmodo based E-learning learning without CTL approach to the critical thinking ability of learners.

Abstract: The ability to think critically is a form of thinking ability that needs to be developed in order to solve problems, formulate conclusions, collect possibilities, and make decisions when using all those skills effectively in the right context and type. The ability to think critically can encourage students to come up with new ideas or thoughts about a problem. Developing students' critical thinking skills can help students make conclusions by considering data and facts that occur in the field. This research is an experimental research with research design using experimental design Posttest Only Control Design. The population in this study is all students of class VIII SMPN 5 Kota Jambi consisting of eleven classes. While the sample is the students of class VIII C as the experimental class and class VIII J as the control class taken by random sampling. From the result of data analysis conducted on two samples obtained the average value of critical thinking ability of experimental class 71,36 with standard deviation 16,17 and mean value of critical thinking skill of class of 63,82 with standard deviation 15,58, and result hypothesis test obtained tcount 2.067 and ttable 1.67 at the level of real α is 0,05. From the calculation result it can be seen that tcount is more than ttable, so H0 is rejected and H1 accepted. Based on the final result, it can be concluded that there is a comparison of students' critical thinking ability taught by using Contextual Teaching and Learning model is higher than the critical thinking ability of students taught by using direct learning model.Keywords: Critical Thinking Skills, Contextual Teaching and Learning Model, and Direct Learning Model

This research aimed to examine the effect of the application of contextual teaching and learning (CTL) approach to the enhance of mathematical critical thinking ability (MCTA) of Primary School Teacher Students (PSTS). This research is an experimental study with the population of all students PSTS who took algebra subject matter of one  university in the city of Bogor. The results showed: (1) the increase of MCTA of student who receive CTL better than students who receive TTL; (2) There are differences in the increase MCTA between students in groups of high MPA, medium MPA, and low MPA, both the student who received the CTL and TTL; and (3) There is no interaction between learning factors (CTL and TTL) with MPA (high, medium and low) toward the enhance of MCTA.Keywords: Critical Thinking Ability in Mathematics, Contextual Teaching and Learning Approach, Prior Mathematical Ability DOI: dx.doi.org/10.22342/jme.61.53


The purpose of this paper is to examine how the Framework-based Teaching (FBT) approach improves the critical thinking skill among accounting students at tertiary education level. This qualitative study is conducted using the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SOTL) approach, where reflections from lecturers ‘experience in teaching and learning process are gathered. Data are collected from both accounting lecturers and students who implemented the FBT approach using the inquiry-based learning technique in the financial accounting course. Data are analysed using content analysis. The results from the study indicate that, based on lecturers’ reflection, students are pushed to think in depth in classes using the inquiry based learning of the FBT approach. This is supported by students’ feedback on their own critical thinking ability. Thus, the FBT approach improves the critical thinking skills among accounting students. The implication of this study is the practicability of the FBT approach in teaching financial accounting course at university level in encouraging critical thinking skills.
