Abstract

This study discusses how pre-service teachers can develop critical thinking skills in making multimedia-based learning media. This is caused by the paradigm of higher education competence which currently requires the integration of critical thinking skills, from various perspectives and cultures in the learning process. Students as pre-service teachers are expected to be able to communicate the learning that will be delivered through critical analysis and problem solving from various perspectives. This research is an ethnographic case study that focuses on the process of making multimedia learning in the field of art by utilizing Microsoft PowerPoint. The instruments used are observation sheets and interviews through focus group discussions. This study involved 20 students as pre-service teachers of cultural arts in multimedia learning courses. The results of the study show that art education students class of 2020 who have attended multimedia learning courses are able to interpret, analyze, evaluate, conclude, explain what they think, make judgments, and generate ideas or innovations for problem solving. The students can use their critical thinking skills and dispositions in making interesting and communicative teaching media when their critical thinking skills are integrated into the teaching of multimedia learning courses. In future research, it is expected to cover a larger and more representative sample to avoid bias and evaluate critical thinking skills properly.
