Abstract
Critical thinking is one of the competencies needed in the development of the 21st century, especially for students at the high school level. Therefore, teaching materials are needed to support students in practicing critical thinking integrated with increasingly advanced technological developments. One of these teaching materials is an E-worksheet based on guided inquiry assisted by Google Sites. In addition, students need to know more deeply about handling the global issue of SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) through the learning process at school.
This study employs the ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model to develop the e-worksheet. This research was conducted at a senior high school in Kota Tangerang Selatan, Banten, Indonesia, selected for its adequate facilities, such as Wi-Fi, to support the use of digital learning material. The E worksheet development process involves validation tests by media, material, and language experts, as well as readability tests by students. Additionally, students', critical thinking was assessed using a pretest and posttest.
The results of the E-worksheet development research assisted by Google Sites based on expert validation obtained a percentage of 92%, a very feasible category based on the average of each expert validation assessment indicator. The readability test of the E-worksheet product assisted by Google Sites by students obtained an average percentage of the graphic, presentation, and linguistic components of 94% with a very readable category. The test was used to measure the indicators of students' critical thinking training using statistical tests in the form of validity and reliability tests with the results obtained. Namely, the test used is valid and reliable. In addition, the training of students' critical thinking skills is reviewed through the N-Gain Score pretest and posttest with a result of 0.74, which is included in the high N-Gain score category. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the E- Worksheet assisted by Google sites that have been developed is declared feasible to be used as a support for the biology learning process and can train students' critical thinking skills on environmental change materials related to SDGs issues.
