THE SYNTHESIS OF A COLLABORATIVE LEARNING MODEL USING PROBLEM - BASED LEARNING ON CLOUD TO ENHANCE CRITICAL THINKING OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to Synthesis and evaluate the design of Model of Collaborative Learning Using Problem - Based Learning on Cloud to Enhance Critical Thinking of Undergraduate Students. The sample group in this research was 9 experts are Key informants that specialize in Teaching to design, Problem-based learning, Critical thinking, and Cloud learning. The research procedure consisted of seven steps as follows: 1) studied journals, texts and related research, 2) drafted conceptual framework, 3) created assessment tool, 4) assigned experts on an In-depth Interview, 5) Data collection by In-depth Interview, 6) summarize and analyzed data, and 7) added improvement to the model. Tools of this research were Assessment forms of collaborative learning. The research results were as follows: Model of Collaborative Learning Using Problem - Based Learning on Cloud to Enhance Critical Thinking of Undergraduate Students. Consist of three elements: 1) input Factors is Learning objectives, Instructor, learner, and Cloud learning 2) The Learning process is Preparation before Learning, Collaborative Learning, Appraising stages and 3) Output is work, students learning achievements, and Critical thinking. The evaluation results in Model of Collaborative Learning Using Problem - Based Learning on Cloud to Enhance Critical Thinking of Undergraduate Students with an overall rating at a highest levels. ( = 4.61, S.D. = 0.52) Which is appropriate can be used in actual learning and teaching.
