Abstract

The purpose of this research is to synthesize theoretical framework and designing framework for development of constructivist web-based learning environment model to enhance Critical Thinking subject on substance around using for Grade 6 students. Type I developmental research is the research design (Design and Development). The following were the procedures: 1) evaluate and analyze the principles and theories, 2) investigate the context of learners’ knowledge creation and memory processes, and 3) synthesize the theoretical framework and design framework for a Constructivist web-based learning environment model to improve Critical thinking. The results of study that there are the designing framework has 8 elements as following: (1) Problem base, (2) resources center, (3) Related communities Center, (4) Collaboration center, (5) Cognitive tools, (6) Critical Thinking center, (7) Scaffolding center, and (8) Coaching center. Capable of critical thinking: 1) Elementary Clarification 2) Bases for a Decision 3) Inference 4) Advanced clarification 5) Supposition and integration.
