Abstract

The purposes of this research were 1) to develop and evaluate the efficiency of a package of science learning activities that focused on learning management using activities as a base with microlearning, 2) to compare analytical thinking skill before and after learning with the 70 percent criterion, 3) to compare students’ analytical thinking skills after learning through science with 70 percent criteria, and 4) to evaluate the students’ satisfaction toward learning through science learning activity packages. For the sample consisted of 26 Grade 9 students who were selected by cluster random sampling. The instruments used consisted of 1) the science learning activity packages that focused on learning management using activities as a base with microlearning, 2) learning management plans, 3) an analytical thinking skills test, and
4) a satisfaction assessment form. The statistics used consisted of 1) the efficiency of learning activity packages according to the E1/E2 criteria, 2) the inferential statistics, and 3) the descriptive statistics. The results of the research found that 1) the efficiency of the learning activity set was 72.08/74.77, 2) the analytical thinking skills of the students after learning were significantly higher than before learning at the 0.05 level, 3) the analytical thinking skills of the students after learning higher than the 70 percent criterion with statistical significance at the 0.05 level and 4) satisfaction after learning with the developed science learning activity package was at a high level ( equation= 4.36, S.D. = 0.26). This shows that, this set of science learning activities using activities package as a base with microlearning can be used to develop learners to learn from abstract to more concrete and develop analytical thinking skills very well.
