Abstract
This research aims to develop interactive learning media in the Biochemistry course to improve critical thinking skills of students of the Science Education Study Program, Bengkulu University. The method used in this research is research and development or Research and Development (R&D) which refers to the Ivers and Baron procedure. The development model used is ^Model DDD-E (Decide, Design, Develop, Evaluate)^. The results obtained include the development of interactive learning media for Android-based carbohydrate metabolism material containing 4 content on the main page namely learning achievements, Materials, Instructions, and Profiles. The results of the media and material expert validation stated that interactive learning media: carbohydrate metabolism was feasible to be applied. The results of student response assessments analyzed using the Rasch Model show that the majority of students agree on the use of interactive learning media in biochemistry courses. Interactive learning media: carbohydrate metabolism also provides an increase in students^ Critical Thinking Skills (CBC) with an N-gain effectiveness test of 53.67%. Based on the research results, interactive learning media for carbohydrate metabolism material is effectively used in biochemistry courses. However, further research is needed for the application of interactive learning media in other subjects.
