The Effectiveness of Moodle-Based E-Learning Media to Improve Students’ Inductive Thinking Skill in an Integrated Science Project Course

Improvements in teaching are required as technology advances, The Science and Technology Project distinguishes itself by including explanations of scientific phenomena, data collecting and evaluation. This requires structured thinking, ranging from simple to complicated. Moodle-based e learning with the MERDEKA flow is a tool that can assist students improve their inductive thinking skills. The MERDEKA flow is divided into stages that starting with oneself, concept exploration, collaborative space, contextual demonstration, development of understanding, and the connection between materials and practical action. The objective of this research is to determine the effectiveness of the product to improve students’ inductive thinking skills. This research uses R&D Method and students of vocational school that consisted of 72 students served as the research subjects. Data collecting methods include questionnaires and tests, with data analysis techniques such as feasibility test analysis, effectiveness tests, and student feedback on e-learning. The e-learning validation results indicated 92.45% feasibility. The media's effectiveness was evaluated using N-Gain, and the result was 0.83, which is considered very high. After using e-learning, 98% of students rated it as very good. Moodle-based e-learning using the MERDEKA pathway can increase inductive thinking skills and is suited for science education.
