Designing Framework of Designing Tablet Application Learning Environment for Enhancing Analytical Thinking on Science

Abstract

Analytical thinking involves the process of gathering relevant information and identifying key issues related to this information. This type of thinking also requires you to compare sets of data from different sources; identify possible cause and effect patterns, and draw appropriate conclusions from these datasets in order to arrive at appropriate solutions. Also, the purpose of this research was to synthesize designing framework of the tablet application learning environment for enhancing analytical thinking on science. The research was documentary analysis research and survey research was employed in this study. The procedures were as following: 1) to examine and analyze the principles and theories 2) to review relevant literature 3) to explore the context concerning tablet application learning environment and analytical thinking, and 4) to synthesize designing framework of the tablet application learning environment and analytical thinking. Using the framework of analytical thinking as following: 1) Identifies 2) Specifies a reason and 3) Classifies. The result revealed that: The tablet application learning environment for enhance analytical thinking on science comprise of 6 elements as following: 1) Problem base 2) Knowledge bank 3) Analytical thinking center 4) Collaboration 5) Scaffolding and 6) Coaching.
