Abstract

This research was conducted at SMP Negeri 4 Witaponda in the 2023/2024 academic year. The aim of the research is to produce differentiated teaching modules to improve students' critical thinking abilities. The development of differentiated teaching modules is a type of Research and Development (R&D) research that refers to the ADDIE model, which consists of five stages, namely: analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation. The research subjects were 27 students. The research instrument consists of: Product validation sheet for developing differentiated teaching modules, teacher response questionnaire, and critical thinking skills test. The research results show that the differentiated teaching module developed is in the category suitable for use. This is shown by the average expert validation results of the differentiated teaching module which obtained a score of 86.88% with very valid criteria, the results of the practicality questionnaire using the teacher response questionnaire obtained a score of 92.71% with very practical criteria, and the effectiveness of the teaching module obtained a score The effect size is d=0.82 with large effect criteria. It can be concluded that the differentiated teaching module is effective in improving the critical thinking skills of students at SMP Negeri 4 Witaponda.
