Study analyzes how a blended learning model (BLM) assisted by GeoGebra affects junior high students’ mathematical critical thinking skills compared with BLM without GeoGebra. Quasi-experimental research with a nonequivalent control-group design involves 125 Grade VIII students in Ternate, Indonesia. A critical thinking ability test instrument is used to measure improvement. Results indicate GeoGebra-assisted BLM improves critical thinking in a broad category for the higher-level group, while no difference appears for the middle school level.

FAQs

What research method and design are used to test the learning model’s impact?

The study uses quasi-experimental research with a nonequivalent control-group design.

How many participants and from which grade level are included in the study?

A total of 125 Grade VIII students participate in the study.

What is the main finding about using GeoGebra-assisted BLM for mathematical critical thinking?

GeoGebra-assisted BLM influences students’ mathematical critical thinking skills, showing better improvement for the higher school-level group, while the middle school level shows no difference compared with BLM without GeoGebra.
