Student’s critical thinking ability from gender and learning style using Edmodo E-learning

Abstract

The Industrial Revolution 4.0 is synonymous by the Internet development; its presence is so fast. Many things that were not thought of before suddenly appear and become innovations, including in education. This study uses the online learning environment Edmodo to analyse student CTA in terms of gender and learning style. Descriptive quantitative research is the term for this kind of study. This study has a group post-test only design and is a quasi-experimental investigation. 75 kids from Mataram's junior high schools participated in this study. Data were collected on student’s CTA using a description of five numbers. Identification was made by giving the sampled students a questionnaire to find their learning styles. Data analysis used descriptive statistics assisted by the Rash model. The findings indicated that there were few variations between male and female students' CTA. Furthermore, kinesthetic learners were better at CTA than auditory and visual learners.
