Abstract


Abstract: The Effectiveness of STEM-Based Electrochemistry E-Modules in Enhancing Critical Thinking Skills. Graduates of schools in the period of Industrial Revolution 4.0 must be proficient in 21st-century abilities such as critical thinking, creativity, invention, communication, and teamwork. Chemistry is one subject that encourages the growth of critical thinking abilities. By incorporating STEM into electrochemistry e-modules, teaching chemistry through the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) approach has the potential to improve critical thinking, especially in the Capita Selected Chemistry course. This study evaluates the effectiveness of STEM-Based Electrochemistry E-Modules in enhancing critical thinking skills and examines student responses to their implementation. This research was conducted as part of the Capita Selecta Chemistry course in the PSPK 22C class. The study employed a one-group pretest-posttest design. Instruments included written essay tests to measure students' critical thinking skills and a questionnaire to assess their responses to the e-module. The N-Gain test results revealed an average score of 0.792 for critical thinking skills, indicating a high category. Additionally, the student response of the STEM-based electrochemistry e-module recorded an average score of 82.8, reflecting a very good classification.
