Problem-Based E-Module for Enhancing Fifth-Grade Critical Thinking in Integrated Science and Social Studies
Abstract: This research project originated from an examination of the requirements of both teachers and students in their learning experiences. Its primary goal was to develop a sound, usable, and impactful problem-based e-module to improve critical thinking abilities in fifth-grade Integrated Science and Social Studies (IPAS). The study followed a Research and Development (R&D) framework, specifically the ADDIE model's five stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Participants were carefully chosen using purposive sampling to align with the research aims. Data was gathered through validated and reliable assessments and subsequently analyzed with an independent t-test, which showed a significant result (p < 0.001). The findings clearly demonstrate that the developed problem-based e-module is an effective tool for cultivating critical thinking skills in fifth-grade integrated science and social studies education.
