Abstract

This study aimed to develop the learning tool of inquiry-creative integrated with ethnosciences and assess its validity and effectiveness in training prospective physics teachers’ critical thinking (CT) skills. The learning tool developed and validated including lesson plan, learning materials, and CT assessment instruments. Validity was assessed in terms of content and construct validity. The validation of the learning tool involved three validators using a validation sheet instrument. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the learning tool was tested through an experiment using a one-group pre-post test design involving twenty-two prospective teachers at Mataram University, Indonesia. The validity data analysis results indicated that the developed learning tool is valid in terms of content and construct validity. The analysis of CT scores during the implementation of the learning tool in the classroom showed an increase in prospective teachers’ CT scores from the pre-test (M = -0.233, SD = 0.307) to the post-test (M = 2.170, SD = 0.277), indicating a shift from not-critical to critical, with an n-gain score of 0.53 (moderate). Statistical analysis of the data indicated a significant difference between the CT scores in the pre-test and post-test of the experimental group (F = 743.619, p < .001, η² = 0.947). This confirmed the descriptive analysis results that the prospective teachers’ CT scores increased from the pre-test to the post-test. Overall, the findings strongly indicate that the learning tool of inquiry-creative integrated with ethnosciences is effective in improving the CT skills of prospective physics teachers.
