Application of Google Classroom Assisted Blended Learning in Improving Mathematical Critical Thinking Skills

Abstract

This blended learning model, assisted by Google Classroom, is believed to be able to improve students' mathematical critical thinking skills when the distance or online learning system is implemented. This study aims to prove how the Google Classroom-assisted blended learning model can improve students' mathematical critical thinking skills, especially in trigonometry. This study uses quantitative research with the research design used is a quasi-experimental design. This research did not start with a pretest and involved 60 SMK students. The data were obtained by taking samples using cluster random sampling. The research instrument used was in the form of description test questions. Data were analyzed using normality test, homogeneity test and hypothesis testing. Based on this study, the results of hypothesis testing were obtained with tcount of 2.610 and ttable of 2.001 (tcount = 2.610 > ttable = 2.01). So H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. With the acceptance of H1 from the results of hypothesis testing, it can be concluded that the blended learning model assisted by google classroom can improve students' mathematical critical thinking skills, especially in trigonometry material. Teachers can use this google classroom-assisted blended learning model as an alternative learning model to improve mathematical critical thinking skills in online learning. With the acceptance of H1 from the results of hypothesis testing, it can be concluded that the blended learning model assisted by google classroom can improve students' mathematical critical thinking skills, especially in trigonometry material. Teachers can use this google classroom-assisted blended learning model as an alternative learning model to improve mathematical critical thinking skills in online learning.
