ABSTRACT This study aims to develop anecopbl learning model to improve critical thinking and collaboration skills of elementary school This type of research is development research. The development model used in this study is the ADDIE model through 5 stages, namely, . analysis stage . design stage. development stage . implementation stage,. evaluation The data obtained in the validation of model assessment instruments by experts are in the form of underlying theories, objectives, syntax, and social systems. The results of the conversion of validation assessments on the underlying theoretical aspects have an average value of 10 with very good categories. While the conversion results of the validation assessment on the objective aspect have an average of 8. 5, with a very good category. The results of the conversion validation assessment on syntax and social systems by experts have an average value of 18. 5 so that it has a very good category. The effectiveness of the anecopbl model was shown by an average test result of n-gain of 0. 77 in the effective category. These results suggest that the use of models can improve students' critical thinking skills. Based on the effect size test between the control group and anecopbl showed a result of 2. 90 showing that learning using the model that has been done is very effective and has a major effect in improving critical thinking skills. The results of the collaboration assessment showed that more than half of all respondents agreed that they had the same goals, shared duties and responsibilities, and that there was cooperation between groups. So that the anecopbl model is feasible, effective, and practical to be used to improve critical thinking and collaboration skills of elementary students. Keywords: anecopbl, critical thinking, collaboration INTRODUCTION A 21st century education is one that is able to integrate a variety of environments to support real-world and relevant learning for children and deal with global issues in their lives (Palmer, 21st century education must be able to connect not only with technological devices, in relationships with society, the world of work but also be able to provide broad access to its environment so as to foster awareness and concern for the environment in an effort to realise The development of the world in the 21st century, characterised by the use of information and communication technology, raises concerns for educators about what skills they already have to deal with these developments (Kudari, 2016. OECD, 2. This is a question of what knowledge and skills our children need to survive in the face of challenging development. Therefore, children must gain more knowledge about different fields of study to live a successful life in this fast-paced world. At the same time, they must achieve some important skills, which Journal of Natural Science and Integration. Vol. No. October 2024, pp 170-189 | 170 Development of Anecopbl Model to Improve Critical Thinking and Collaboration Skills of Elementary School Students will help them survive in a rapidly changing world (Rahman, 2. This is the duty of a teacher to teach the knowledge and skills needed (Kuloglu. Karabekmez, 2. Many empirical investigations show that in this century every job requires fast information so that computers can replace manual and cognitive tasks. Therefore, a new paradigm is needed to encourage learners with innovative and critical thinking. Indonesia in 2018 ranked 71st out of 79 participating countries for science skills. The assessment conducted by PISA basically emphasises the skills needed in the 21st century, especially in planning for the future, namely critical thinking, creative, research-based, initiative, informative, systematic thinking, communicative, and reflection (OECD, 2. Critical thinking is defined as logical reflective thinking that is focussed on assisting in making judgements or making decisions when faced with a problem and is one of the higherlevel thinking that should be central to learning development because it makes humans have life skills, creativity, and innovation to face complex real-life problems (Paul. , & Elder, 2008. Prayogi. Yuanita, 2. Critical thinking helps students develop and strengthen their thinking skills (Moust. Bouhuijs. , & Schmidt, 2. To think critically, one needs a rational mind with good reasoning, as well as the ability to follow logical rules, and scientific reasoning as the best foundation for making decisions (Razak. Ramdan. Mahjom. Zabit, 2. person who senses critical thinking skills will have careful consideration to gather various evidence/information before making decisions or establishing positions (Saputro S. Tukiran. Critical thinking can be used to distinguish points of view from positive and negative aspects so that it can filter incoming influences and adapt to the conditions and culture of its Critical thinking ability is a way of thinking for humans to respond to others by analysing facts to form judgements so that this ability needs to be trained and developed. (Gynay. Doloc-Mihu. Gluick. , and Moore, 2. and can be learnt (Holmes Natasha G. Wieman Carl E. , 2. Currently, humans are required to have the ability to think critically to be able to answer various global challenges. (Rijal. Mastuti. Safitri. Bachtiar. , and Samputri. Sutiani. Situmorang. , and Silalahi, 2. Therefore, students are not only required to be able to complete assignments or get good grades but students are also required to have critical thinking skills in the learning process. Students with critical thinking skills can decide what is right and wrong and stay away from negative influences due to globalisation. (Warsah. Morganna, . Uyun. Hamengkubuwono. , and Afandi, 2. A student-centered learning approach is necessary to improve critical thinking skills such as the ability to analyze, understand, evaluate, summarize, and generate new information. Critical thinking skills can be developed but require a process to develop them (Gynay. Doloc-Mihu, . Gluick. , and Moore, 2. Although it requires a process, if trained, individuals with high critical thinking skills will tend to be able to manage their behavior to do good and avoid embarrassing behavior, have a strong character and good self-management. (Eggen. , & Kauchak, 2. They can also filter the information received and take measurable action to respond (Paul. Binker, 2. (Paul. Binker. Martin. Vetrano. , & Kreklau. This skill is also a demand for future competencies that need to be immediately empowered to students through learning and problem-solving efforts. (Croucher. Kelly. Rahmani. Burkey. Subanaliev. Galy-Badenas. Lando. Chibita & Nyiransabimana. Turdubaeva. Eskiyorapy. , & Jackson, 2. The study to determine the level of critical thinking ability was conducted on 72 students from 4 different schools can be shown in Figure 1 below. Journal of Natural Science and Integration. Vol. No. October 2024, pp 170-189 | 171 Irma Yulianti Budi Safitri. Zuhdan Kun Prasetyo. Putri Anjarsari Focusing Questions Analyzing Arguments Asking and answering clarification and clarification questions Figure 1. Graph of critical thinking skills of primary school students The data shows that students' critical thinking skills are still low in the indicators of focusing questions . %), analysing arguments . %), asking and answering clarifying questions and challenging questions . %). Students' critical thinking is still low in analyzing arguments and focusing on questions that may occur due to a lack of observation, experience, reasoning or communication (Ulger, 2. Students who are accustomed to learning to observe, share experiences, reason and communicate will be able to easily interpret, analyze, synthesize, infer, evaluate information, explain, and organize themselves (Wale. , & Bishaw, 2. Another activity that can be influential in improving critical thinking skills is problem-solving activities by calculating various possibilities and scenarios to make the right decisions (Erikson. , & Erikson, 2. In terms of school management, critical thinking practice becomes a problem where not all schools provide facilities that support learning activities. (Chusni. Saputro. Suranto. Rahardjo, 2. For such cases, teachers should also reform the learning process more effectively and implement an ideal learning model to improve those critical thinking skills. Collaboration is a skill required in the 21st century in addition to critical thinking. According to Trilling & Fadel, learners reflect collaboration skills if three components can be fulfilled, namely: . demonstrating the ability to work effectively and appreciate the differences that exist in the group. being able to accept other people's opinions for the same goal. responsibility and contribution of each group member. (Trilling. B & Fadel, 2. Students' collaboration skills are needed in science learning because science lessons are not only learning about knowledge of facts, principles, but also learning in the process of discovery. Science learning is a collection of facts, concepts, and discovery processes (Pratiwi, 2. Interaction activities during the learning process in groups are not fully implemented properly so that collaboration skills are neglected and have an impact on the low collaboration skills of students (Jalmo. Fitriyani, & Yolida, 2019. Empowerment of 21st century skills should be integrated in learning (Arranz. , & Garcya-Serrano, 2. 21st century skills include critical thinking and collaboration. These abilities are also followed by an attitude of empathy and care, especially for the environment. So far, the level of environmental literacy in Indonesia is cumulative and still needs to be improved (Maulidya. Mudzakir. Sanjaya, 2. Therefore, learning needs to facilitate students to develop environmental literacy skills. Environmental literacy can be applied in the learning process or integrated into learning materials. (Nurhayati. Hernani, 2. One of the existing learning methods in promoting environmental literacy is collaborative learning. E-learning or known as online learning is a form of using internet technology in learning that has shown good results in science education (NuiN. Glaar, 2. Online learning is likely to continue to grow and become commonplace in learning (Osborne, 2. Several metaanalyses have found that learning outcomes are to some extent improved by combined approaches: e-learning and face-to-face (Olson. Codde. deMaagd. Tarkleson, 2. Journal of Natural Science and Integration. Vol. No. October 2024, pp 170-189 Development of Anecopbl Model to Improve Critical Thinking and Collaboration Skills of Elementary School Students Improving critical thinking and collaboration skills can be done with constructive e-learning. Learning carried out with e-learning will reduce students' dependence on the teacher's explanations. The understanding of students is not limited to what the teacher teaches and explains. It is necessary to learn with strategies in teaching that can engage students, provide opportunities for students to speak, and improve 21st century skills (Anazifa. RD. Djukri, 2017. Arifin. Setiawan, 2. One of the models that is considered to contribute to the development of these skills is the problem-based learning (PBL) model. Problem-based learning is appropriate because it focuses on helping students learn and discover the concept of solving complex real-world problems both when discussing information search and finding solutions (Rahmayanti, 2017. Rosyidi, 2018. Trilling. B & Fadel, 2. PBL also aims to help students improve their thinking, problem-solving, and cognitive skills (Nurdin & Uleng, 2. (Nurfajriah et al. , 2022. Schwartz, 2013 as well as how to present problems, ask questions, facilitate investigations, and also open dialogues that will be developed and aid critical and creative thinking and aim to learn content, process skills, problem-solving, and study real-world problems (Bakhri, 2017. Hendriana. Rohaeti, 2017. Khairiyah, 2018. Nurdin. , & Uleng. Nurfajriah. Tabroni. Faujiah. Nurjannah. , & Putri, 2022. Sani, 2. The application of this model is designed to encourage students to become researchers, analysts, and innovative (Kassab. SE. Hassan. El-araby. et al. , 2. Problem-based learning has many advantages, familiarizing students in problem-solving and challenging them to solve problems relevant to learning in the classroom and daily life (Suarsana. I M. Lestari. , & Mertasari, 2. Problem Based Learning is better at solving student problems than traditional learning (Treepob. Chulida Hemtasin. Thongsuk, 2. In this regard, (Simanjuntak. Hutahaean. Marpaung. , & Ramadhani, 2. , explained the effectiveness of PBL combined with computer simulations for students' problem-solving and creative thinking skills. Their results also showed a positive relationship between problem-solving and students' creative skills. This shows that PBL combined with computer simulations is more effective than problem-based or traditional teaching methods alone. PBL education, according to (Argaw. Haile. Ayalew. , & Kuma, 2. , helps students develop problem-solving skills that can be applied in their daily lives. It is necessary to develop an anecopbl learning model: so that students can find strategies to solve environmental problems and realize how important the environment is. The integration of e-learning with a problem-based learning model on ecosystem materials is seen as a solution to develop students' critical thinking and collaboration skills in elementary schools. The anecopbl model consists of steps, namely . orientating learners online on ecological problems. Guiding students to study in groups or individually, organising students to learn to care . Guiding individual and group investigations online. Developing and presenting work online. Analysing and evaluating the problem-solving process. Based on the background of the problems described above, researchers are interested and motivated to conduct research related to the development of anecopbl models to improve critical thinking and collaboration skills of elementary school students. METHODOLOGY This research is a type of development research . esearch and developmen. which has an orientation to produce a product and test its feasibility for use in learning. The product developed in this research is an anecopbl model. The learning model developed is aimed at developing critical thinking skills and collaboration. The development procedure in this study refers to the stages of the development model adapted from ADDIE (Branch, 2. (Branch, 2. which is carried Journal of Natural Science and Integration. Vol. No. October 2024, pp 170-189 | 173 Irma Yulianti Budi Safitri. Zuhdan Kun Prasetyo. Putri Anjarsari out in 5 stages, namely. Analysis. Design. Development. Implementation, and Evaluation. the analysis stage is the process of determining and necessary needs by explaining school analysis, product resource analysis anecopbl model analysis, and analysis of IPAS materials and concepts. the design stage which is a planning stage that aims to make products, namely the anecopbl learning . the development stage which is the actualisation process of the previous design stage which consists of making model products, making LMS, product validation and instruments. the implementation stage, at this stage the developed product is applied in learning on the IPAS learning content of ecosystem material. The goal is to produce a clear and comprehensive picture of the model developed. the evaluation stage by determining evaluation criteria, selecting tools in the form of observation sheets and product feasibility questionnaires, and conducting formative and summative evaluations. Analysis Stage The needs analysis was conducted through two stages, namely field studies and literature Needs analysis was conducted through observation of the learning process using PBL that has been running. Interviews were conducted through unstructured interviews with elementary school teachers. The results of the critical thinking ability test and student collaboration are still low so that the development of anecoPBL learning models is needed so that students can find strategies to solve environmental problems and become a solution to developing students' critical thinking and collaboration skills in elementary schools. Design Stage The learning design stage is the stage of analysing the material that will be used as an example in the learning model including the design of developing students' critical thinking skills. The design can be seen at the link https://docs. com/document/d/1CHZO0n6sYWBG7dPIAhtQbz3ZXvOppQx/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=109304701955795615565&rtpof=true&sd= Tahap this is the stage of designing the substance that will be delivered through the learning At this stage, critical thinking skills, collaboration, basic achievements, flow of learning objectives, teaching modules to assessment instruments are analysed. The learning design stage also includes the preparation of learner activity sheets, teaching materials, and learning Development Stage The model development stage is the third stage in this development research. This stage is carried out through the preparation of model outlines, collection of supporting materials, and production of models and model support devices. The final result of the learning design and model development stage is the draft product of the anecopbl learning model. The validation stage in this research is an assessment activity intended to ensure that the resulting development product is suitable for use in learning. This step is carried out to determine the feasibility of the development product, namely the anecopbl learning model to be used in Validation is carried out by a team of experts which at least consists of media experts and material experts. There are two types of trials in this study, namely limited trials and wider The test subjects in the limited trial in the anecopbl model development research were students of SD Negeri Prawirotaman. The evaluation of this trial was then used as material for improving the model. The test subjects in the wider trial in the anecopbl model development research were at SD Muhammadiyah Notoprajan. SD Negeri Suyodiningratan 3, and SD Negeri Kowang. During the wider trial, experiments were also conducted to compare the impact of student learning after learning with anecopbl and face-to-face PBL. This step is done to determine the effectiveness of the application of the developed learning model. Journal of Natural Science and Integration. Vol. No. October 2024, pp 170-189 Development of Anecopbl Model to Improve Critical Thinking and Collaboration Skills of Elementary School Students Implementation Stage At the implementation stage, the developed product is applied in learning in the IPAS lesson content of ecosystem material. The goal is to produce a clear and comprehensive picture of the developed model. Implementing the product in the form of this LMS in large groups of students to determine the effectiveness of the model. In the implementation stage, researchers went to the field to observe the application of the developed model. Product implementation is applied through a pseudo-experimental design, which uses two class groups, given treatment and then tested through a final test . in measuring the effectiveness of using the product. Evaluation Stage In detail, the stages in the evaluation are: . Determining evaluation criteria, namely the criteria that become the standard for knowing the learning resources that have been used are relevant to the standards at the design stage. In addition, to determine the suitability of the model with the model plan so that the design stage is made. Selecting tools in the form of interview guides, observation sheets and product feasibility questionnaires that have been carried out in . Conducting evaluation. It is carried out through formative evaluation which is carried out continuously in making improvements to the blended learning model developed. Then the summative evaluation is carried out at the end of learning by giving a test of students' learning outcomes to see the effectiveness. Trial Design Data on the development of students' critical thinking skills from the application of the model is needed to determine the effect of the application of the model on efforts to develop these abilities. The design of the limited trial of the anecopbl model uses a one group pretest-posttest design with the formula: O 1 x O2 Experimental Model with One Group Pretest-posttest Design (Fraenkel. Wallen. Hyun. Description: X = treatment in the form of applying the anecoPBL model O1 = pretest score O2 = posttest score The design of this study is to give a pre-test before students do the learning and give a posttest after students do the learning. Data collection in the broad trial design uses a control experiment group pretest-postest. By using this design, the control group and experimental group have the same characteristics taken from a homogeneous population. The design of this research is to give a pre-test before students do learning and give a post-test after students do learning with the same questions for both groups. Learning is done using three types of models. In this model development research, three classes were used. The distribution of the two classes is two classes as experimental classes and one class as a control class. The experimental class is a class that uses anecopbl model and conventional PBL model. The control class is a class in which the learning is done face-to-face and uses the usual learning model by the teacher. As an illustration, the product trial design is shown in Table 1. Journal of Natural Science and Integration. Vol. No. October 2024, pp 170-189 | 175 Irma Yulianti Budi Safitri. Zuhdan Kun Prasetyo. Putri Anjarsari Table 1. Product Trial Design Pretest Treatment Posttest Product Trial Design (Fraenkel. Wallen. Hyun, 2. Description: X1 = Treatment in the form of applying learning with the anecoPBL model: X2 = Treatment in the form of learning application with PBL model X3 = Treatment in the form of application of learning with e-learning O1 = pretest score in the anecoPBL model class: O2 = posttest value in the anecoPBL model class: O3 = pretest score in conventional PBL model class O4 = posttest score in conventional PBL model class O5 = pretest score in e-learning class O6 = posttest score in e-learning class The effect of using the developed learning model can be known based on the difference between post-test and pre-test scores and several other analyses. The test subjects in the limited trial in the anecopbl model development research were grade 5 students of SD Negeri Prawirotaman, totalling 11 children. The test subjects in the broad trial in the development research of the anecoPBL model were 5th grade students of SD Muhammadiyah Notoprajan . SD Negeri Suryodiningratan 3 . , and SD Negeri Kowang . The techniques used to collect data in this study were questionnaires and written tests. Questionnaire is a technique used to obtain information from students in the form of student responses regarding the support of the anecopbl model to improve critical thinking skills and student responses to the learning model tools in this case the LMS. Written test is a technique used to obtain data on students' critical thinking skills. The instruments used to collect data in this study were questionnaire sheets and pretestposttest questions. The questionnaire sheet in this study is a questionnaire sheet for assessing the learning model and LMS by validators and a student response questionnaire related to the support of learning model devices on critical thinking and collaborative skills. The pretest-postest questions are questions related to critical thinking skills ecosystem material. The research instrument used in data collection must be a validated instrument. Validation of research instruments was carried out by two experts in the field of education on learning model assessment instruments. LMS assessment instruments, student response questionnaires to the use of the model, instrument description questions on critical thinking skills tests, validation instruments include three aspects, namely material aspects, construction aspects, language aspects, and assessment aspects. There are two types of data analysis used in this research. The two types of analysis are qualitative descriptive analysis techniques and quantitative descriptive analysis techniques. Each analysis is used with different purposes, namely to assess the feasibility of the product or the effectiveness of the learning model product. The feasibility study of the model was conducted to provide information on whether or not the model should be used in real learning. The data analysis technique used in this analysis is quantitative descriptive analysis technique. In this study, the feasibility of the anecopbl model was assessed from the results of expert judgement through the expert validation process and student Expert judgement and student responses were conducted to determine the feasibility of the model itself and the feasibility of the LMS as an embodiment of the anecopbl model.

SBi = Ideal standard deviation = 1/6 . deal maximum score - ideal minimum scor. X = Score obtained The study of the effectiveness of the model is useful to determine the impact of using the model on student abilities. This study provides information on how effective the use of the anecoPBL model is on improving critical thinking and collaboration. In this study, the anecopblbased model is declared effective if the use of the anecopbl model can improve students' critical thinking and collaboration after using the model, namely based on self- and group assessments. The data analysis technique used in this analysis is descriptive analysis. Descriptive analysis is used to describe or give an overview of the object under study through sample or population data as it is without conducting analysis and making conclusions that apply to the public . The data presented are data obtained from the pretest and posttest results of critical thinking skills of the experimental group and control group. Mean, median, standard deviation, minimum score, and maximum score data will be presented in the form of tables and histograms so that the presentation of data is easier for readers to understand. Data on the characteristics of the final product explores the developed product accompanied by a discussion of changes/revisions to the product that occurred during the development process. Data analysis used to reveal data on the characteristics of the final product is in the form of qualitative descriptive analysis in the form of exposure and screen display before and after revision. RESULT AND DISCUSSION Initial Product Development Results The development product is the result of the implementation of development research The product of this development research is in the form of AnEcoPBL model on ecosystem material aimed at improving critical thinking and collaboration skills of elementary school students. This AnEcoPBL model is a type of blended learning that is realised in the e-learning The AnEcoPBL model was developed by modifying the problem-based learning model with ecoliteration and e-learning. This learning model has not existed before and was developed with ADDIE's development research procedures and has been declared feasible, namely meeting the requirements of a valid, practical, and effective learning model.

Putri Anjarsari The development procedure in this study refers to the stages of the development model adapted from ADDIE determined by the researcher. ADDIE goes through 5 stages, namely, . analysis stage . design stage. development stage . implementation stage,. evaluation Description of Analysis The needs analysis is conducted to obtain information about the characteristics of the learning model needed by prospective users, in this case primary school students. Information is needed for the development of learning models. The needs analysis was conducted through two stages, namely field studies and literature studies. Field studies were conducted to find out the learning models that have been used by teachers, especially on ecosystem material. Literature study is conducted on the material that will be focused on the learning model through the review of various literature sources. The needs analysis is important to determine the level of need for the learning model to be developed. The main points of the needs analysis results are described as follows. The curriculum used in primary schools is the independent curriculum. This is known based on the results of observations on the tools used. Ecosystem material is taught face-to-face. Based on interviews with students, there are three kinds of learning conducted by different teachers in different schools. In the first school, learning was done by writing material and practice questions on the blackboard then students were asked to take notes and work on practice questions. In the second school, the teacher gave and explained the material with the help of power point. YouTube application, and gave practice questions. In the third class, the teacher provides material before the meeting in class and students are asked to study it so that during face-to-face learning in the form of strengthening material that has not been understood and practice Some teachers are familiar with e-learning and some of them combine e-learning with the learning model that will be carried out. There is no e-learning learning model yet. There is no blended learning type e-learning model that facilitates the development of critical thinking and collaboration skills of elementary school students. There is no blended learning type e-learning model that is integrated with the pbl learning model to facilitate students' critical thinking and The results of the needs analysis show that there is a need for a blended learning model that is integrated with the pbl learning model. The developed learning model is expected to facilitate the development of critical thinking and collaboration skills. Description of Design Stage Results The learning design stage is the stage of analysing the material that will be focused on the learning model. At this stage, competency and learning objectives are analysed. The results of the learning design stage are as follows. One of the contents of the IPAS class V primary school lesson which contains ecosystem material. The IPAS subject is taught face-to-face.

During the trial, experiments were also conducted by comparing the impact of the treatment on these fifth grade students. The extensive trial was conducted to obtain data on the effect of using LMS in anecopbl learning model, face-to-face learning with pbl model, and e-learning learning on improving students' critical thinking and collaboration skills. Journal of Natural Science and Integration. Vol. No. October 2024, pp 170-189 Development of Anecopbl Model to Improve Critical Thinking and Collaboration Skills of Elementary School Students The data from the broad trial included the assessment of critical thinking skills before and after the use of the LMS and the assessment of student collaboration. Data from the trial results on the assessment of critical thinking skills using a description question instrument that has gone through validation with expert judgement. Analysis of Critical Thinking Skills Descriptive data of cognitive learning outcomes taken before and after treatment are shown in Table 8. The data are students' answers to 3 literacy questions on ecosystem material. The data in the table shows that the pretest scores obtained are almost the same, although the order of the average from the lowest is obtained by the face-to-face group then the anecopbl and elearning groups which have almost identical scores. The posttest data shows that the order of the lowest mean is obtained by the face-to-face, e-learning, and anecopbl groups. Table 5.

The data is obtained as a comparison of changes in students' critical thinking skills after treatment. The comparison can be known from the difference in changes in scores in each treatment or by calculating the normalised gain score. The difference in value change is known by calculating the difference between posttest and pretest scores. The normalised gain score value is known by dividing the difference in posttest and pretest scores by the difference in maximum and pretest scores. The results of the normalized gain score calculation are then Changes in the acquisition of learning outcomes in cognitive aspects can be known from changes in the acquisition of the average student scores before and after treatment and the normalized gain score obtained. Based on the data, it can be seen that the average difference value in the face-to-face pbl group is 25. 0, the e-learning group is 24. 7, and the anecopbl group is 39. The calculation of the normalised gain score value in the form of percentages shows that the value in the face-to-face pbl group is 38. 31 or categorised as ineffective, the e-learning group is 52 or categorised as moderately effective, and the anecopbl group is 77. 12 or categorised as Based on this, it can be seen that the anecopbl group gets the difference in mean gain and the largest normalised gain score compared to the other two groups. Only the anecopbl group obtained a high category in the normalised gain score value while the other two groups were in the ineffective and moderately effective categories.

Graph of Critical Thinking Ability Score Description The NGain results of the high anecopbl model show that students' critical thinking skills increase because in the IPAS learning process the ecosystem material uses the model. Analysis of Collaboration Description Descriptive data of collaboration skills were taken at the end after the treatment was carried out. The data is the respondent's response to the statement on the self-assessment on the learning model used. In the collaboration aspect, data on the collaboration aspect was obtained from two learning models, namely face-to-face pbl and anecopbl. Data management of the selfassessment results was carried out by giving an assessment of "1" for the answer "yes" and a value of "0" for the answer "no" and then accumulating and converting it into a percentage. After the average percentage of each number is known, then group it according to the indicator. There are three indicators of collaboration skills on the self-assessment, namely the indicator of having the same goal shown in question numbers 1 and 2, the indicator of sharing tasks and responsibilities shown in question numbers 3,4,5,6, and the indicator of cooperation between group members shown in question numbers 7,8,9, and 10. In the self-assessment data, the results of students' assessment of aspects of collaboration on themselves with yes / no type questions can be seen. From the results shown in the table, several things are known. All respondents . %) in the face-to-face group and more than half of the respondents . 5%) in the aneopbl group agreed that they had the same goals as the group. Almost all respondents . 75%) in the face-to-face group and more than half of the respondents . %) in the anecopbl group agreed that they shared tasks and responsibilities.

Vol. No. October 2024, pp 170-189 Development of Anecopbl Model to Improve Critical Thinking and Collaboration Skills of Elementary School Students Based on the explanation above, it can be seen that the anecopbl learning model is effective to improve critical thinking and collaboration skills. The normalised gain score value shows that the use of the model in the classroom can improve critical thinking and collaboration skills. Learning in the anecopbl model facilitates collaboration to complete a common task. Group assignments encourage collaboration between group members. The existence of group tasks presents the mutual involvement of group members in a coordinated effort aimed at solving a common problem. This mutual involvement is a condition for collaboration according to Roschelle et al,. Collaboration in learning enables social learning and Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) in accordance with Vygotsky's opinion. Knowledge acquisition through collaboration can provide insights to deal with contextual problems. These mechanisms relate to psychological theories. especially those that are socio-constructive and socio-cultural, they have relevance to recent work done in cognitive psychology and cognitive science. This is in line with the opinion of Dillenbourg P. Baker M. Blaye A. , & O'Malley C. The basis of the AnEcoPBL learning model is a PBL model modified with e-learning and As written by (Treepob. Chulida Hemtasin. Thongsuk, 2. that the problembased learning model is an ideal learning model for developing scientific knowledge and problemsolving skills. Therefore, this AnEcoPBL model aims to help students learn and discover concepts and solve problems by connecting real-world problem situations. Students can also gain a better understanding of the concept of sustainable development and awareness-driven attitudes and behaviors for a more sustainable life through the AnEcoPBL learning model. The learning steps in the AnEcoPBL learning model start from the student orientation stage on ecosystem issues. At this stage, students are given the opportunity to read information related to the balance of the ecosystem through infographics. Students can write a problem formulation based on real environmental problems. Students are given trigger questions to guide students in understanding the information from AnEcoPBL. This is in accordance with Vygotsky's learning theory, which states that students can share pre-learning activities independently with their classmates and get explanations from teachers. At the stage of guiding students to learn in groups or individuals and organizing students to learn to care online, students learn to care and empathize with environmental problems. Students limit and organize learning tasks related to environmental issues faced such as animal extinction due to human and natural At the stage of guiding individual and group investigations online, students gather appropriate information, carry out investigations, and find solutions/solutions to environmental problems with online responsibility. Students discuss in the AnEcoPBL LMS column. In the stage of developing and presenting works online, students plan, prepare, and upload appropriate works and share assignments with their friends. At the stage of analyzing and evaluating the online problem-solving process, students re-analyze the investigation and processes used in order to correct the wrong things from the process activities and the results carried out when solving The AnEcoPBL model is a strategic application considering the importance of ICT-based learning in the 21st century. Previous research revealed that the gap between dense curriculum content and time availability can be solved by combining learning with electronic platforms both online and offline (Siregar. Wahyu. Sopandi, 2. The constructivism that occurs in the classroom during AnEcoPBL learning is proven in. interactive communication between students and teachers based on their own knowledge so that they can identify problems, . teacher facilitation to students to build their ideas in solving problems . assignment assessment, observation, and test simulation, . experiential dynamic knowledge, and . group collaboration. Based on this description, it can be explained that by applying the AnEcoPBL model, learning activities allow students to think critically about problems that lead to solving real problems related to ecosystems. According to the findings of this study, it is recommended to use Journal of Natural Science and Integration. Vol. No. October 2024, pp 170-189 | 185 Irma Yulianti Budi Safitri. Zuhdan Kun Prasetyo. Putri Anjarsari the AnEcoPBL learning model in environmental material science classes to help students develop their critical thinking and collaboration skills, as each individual needs these skills to face complex and multidimensional challenges. CONCLUSION Based on the results of research and development, the following conclusions can be The AnEcoPBL learning model product is declared feasible for use in learning based on the results of expert assessment and student response. This research has produced a product in the form of anecopbl learning model. The characteristics of the anecopbl learning model can be seen from the underlying rationale or theory, learning objectives, syntax, and management system in the model. The anecopbl learning model is effective to improve critical thinking and collaboration skills. Critical thinking skills assessment is based on normalised gain value. Collaboration assessment is based on self-assessment. Based on the results of the research and development, the following are suggested. Anecopbl learning model to be used by teachers especially when teaching with e-learning. The developed learning model is expected to be an example of developing a learning model developed by applying learning techniques in online learning on other teaching materials. The developed LMS is also recommended to be used by students to learn ecosystem materials independently. REFERENCES
