Critical thinking skills that are claimed to be in the medium and low categories require special attention. Efforts that can be made to overcome these problems are to use an explicit learning model to develop students' critical thinking skills by considering the integration of technology in the learning process. This study aimed to describe the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of blended learning model in promoting critical thinking skill. This study garnered the data regarding the validity from three validators. The practicality of the learning model was based on the applicability of the learning model, students’ responses and challenges faced throughout the teaching and learning process; while the effectiveness of the learning model was based on the increase of the critical thinking skill. The empirical evidence showed that the average score given by the three validators was 3.7 with the percentage of 90% reliability, which falls into a very valid category. The blended learning model enabled the students to develop their critical thinking skill with the average achievement 0.83 for each indicator of critical thinking. This study concluded that the blended learning model was valid, practical, and effective to promote students’ critical thinking skill. The results of this study can be used as an alternative solution to improving students' critical thinking skills that are relevant to technological developments.

The Indonesian National Qualification Framework in higher education requires universities to develop a curriculum that makes students have superior competence with a variety of skills that are in line with the demands of the 21st century, including Critical thinking skills. The main objective of this research is to analyze the practicality of the OR-IPA learning model, which has been developed by design to improve the critical thinking skill of prospective physics teachers on the fundamentals of physics courses. The subject of practical observations was a physics lecturer who used the OR-IPA learning model. The observation sheet of the OR-IPA learning model practicality has been declared valid and reliable by the validators. The data analysis technique uses descriptive qualitative. The results showed that the OR-IPA learning model to improve the critical thinking skill of prospective physics teachers was considered practical (3.69). Lecturers and students can use the OR-IPA learning model without significant obstacles. This research implies that the OR-IPA learning model can be an alternative to improve the critical thinking skill of prospective physics teachers in the fundamentals of physics courses.

Critical thinking skill plays an important role in achieving maximum learning outcomes. The lack of involvement in critical thinking skills activities impacts students’ learning outcomes. This study aims to analyze whether the ICARE learning model application combined with constructivism-based learning modules can improve students' critical thinking skills and learning outcomes. The research method is an experiment with a pretest-posttest control group design. This study was conducted in MAN 4 Aceh Selatan and MAS Ashhabul Yamin Aceh Selatan during the even semester (2020/2021 Academic Year) with the population of 196 students of science class XI. The research sample was 119 students, namely the experimental group 58 and the control group 60. The parameters measured are critical thinking skills and learning outcomes. Data on critical thinking skills and learning outcomes were analyzed by parametric statistics using an independent sample t test, while to observe the correlation of critical thinking skills with learning outcomes was conducted through correlation and regression analysis. The results showed that there was an increase in critical thinking skills and student learning outcomes after being taught using the application of the ICARE learning model combined with constructivism-based learning modules on the respiratory system material. The correlation coefficient obtained is 0.832 which indicates there is a positive relationship between critical thinking skills and learning outcomes with strong interpretations. The conclusion of this study is that the application of the ICARE learning model combined with constructivism-based learning modules can improve students’ critical thinking skills and learning outcomes on respiratory system material. Keywords: ICARE, Constructivism, Critical Thinking Skill, Learning Outcomes.
