Abstract

Critical thinking of Indonesian students showed low categories. Critical thinking can be train, one of them, by developing learning material. This research tested validity and effectiveness of science learning material under material, such as vibration, signal and sound with local wisdom content to train students’ critical thinking. This 4-D model (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate) showed: (1) the developed learning material averagely scores 80.94 and 92.68 (valid and extremely valid) by expert validators and practitioner; (2) the effectiveness of learning material in training critical thinking average scores was 0.73 through N-gain test and hypothesis test by using paired sample t-test with sig score 0.000 < α=0.05. Therefore, there was difference of the students’ critical thinking before and after the intervention. It is concluded that the learning material met the requirement of validity and effectiveness criteria in training critical thinking.
