Abstract

This study aims to develop an inquiry-based Student Worksheet (LKPD) and to determine its feasibility and effectiveness in improving students' critical thinking skills in Social Studies learning at SMP Negeri 55 Surabaya. This research used the Research and Develop (R&D) method with the ADDIE model, which consists of Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate stages. The research subjects were seventh-grade students. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, pretest and posttest, and documentation. The results showed that the developed inquiry-based LKPD was valid and reliable based on expert validation. The N-Gain analyze result of 0.5754 (57.54%) indicates that the improvement in students' critical thinking skills falls into the moderately effective category. This suggests that the inquiry-based LKPD is able to provide a fairly significant improvement in students' critical thinking skills, although it has not yet reached a high level of effectiveness. Therefore, the inquiry-based LKPD can be used as a moderately effective alternative learning medium, but it still requires further develop to optimize its effectiveness in improving students' critical thinking skills.
