Development of the Analytical Thinking Ability and Learning Achievement by Using the 5E Inquiry-Based Learning Activities and Kahoot Application in Geography Course for Grade 10 Students

Abstract

This research aimed to (1) develop the lesson plan by using the 5Es Inquiry-based learning model and Kahoot application in the Geography Course for Grade 10 to be effective according to the criteria of 80/80, (2) to compare students’ critical thinking ability before and after learning, (3) to compare students’ learning achievement before and after learning, and (4) explore students’ satisfaction with the 5Es Inquiry-based learning model and Kahoot application in the Geography Course for Grade 10. The samples included 36 students from Class 4/1 (Grade 10). Participants were selected based on the cluster sampling method. This study revealed four findings. First of all, the effectiveness of the lesson plans was 83.13/82.01, which is higher than the predetermined criteria. Secondly, the critical thinking ability after learning (   = 24.14) was higher than before learning (   = 11.81) at a statistically significant level of .05. Thirdly, learning achievement after learning (  = 29.86) was higher than before learning (  = 11.69) at a statistically significant level of .05. Lastly, student’s overall satisfaction was at the highest level (   = 4.51, S.D. = 0.60). The research instruments included (1) 12 lesson plans, (2) the critical thinking ability evaluation test with 30 items, (3) academic achievement evaluation test with 40 items, and (4) students’ satisfaction questionnaire with 12 items. Statistics used in this study included percentage, mean, and t-test dependent.
