ABSTRACT

Critical thinking skills are one of the abilities that must be owned by a candidate of teacher, especially in relation to the demands of a teacher in the industrial era 4.0. To develop these skills, students must be trained by providing subject materials that are conceptual in nature, and have abstract, complex, and dynamic characteristics. The shear plane teaching materials is one of the teaching materials with these characteristics. The latest data is based on the results of an initial study of 30 students, showing that around 67% had difficulty understanding the teaching materials. The cause is thought to be due to their critical thinking skills which still need to be improved and the lack of learning media that can help them understand the materials. Therefore, the existence of learning media that is able to facilitate students in understanding the teaching materials is very necessary. The aims of the development of learning media using the DBR (Design By Research) method is to produce Android-based learning media that can facilitate students’ critical thinking skills. The results of experimental research using a one-shot case study research design show that the learning media that was developed responded positively by students and can facilitate students in understanding teaching materials.
