Abstract


This study aims to develop Adobe Flash-based learning media that is feasible with materials of optical instrument to train students' science process skills and critical thinking skills. This research is a developmental research with 4D model and tested on grade X students in SMA Kartika Wijaya Surabaya academic year 2016/2017 with developmental testing using one group pretest-posttest design. The data obtained were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The results of the test show several findings i.e. learning media with supporting tools in the form of syllabus, lesson plan, worksheet, and critical thinking skills assesment that have been feasible to be used. Learning media along with supporting tools that have been developed for jigsaw-type cooperative learning model can train students’ critical thinking skills. There is a strong correlation between critical thinking skills and process skills. The students' critical thinking skills improve with the average N-gain score of 0.87, it is categorized as a high category. The conclusion of this research is that Adobe Flash-based physics learning media with materials of optical instrument can be used in the learning process and can be used to train students’ critical thinking skill.
