Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)-Oriented E-module in Electric Circuit

Abstract

This study is aimed at developing a Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)-Oriented e-module in a valid, effective, and practical electric circuit topic. This HOTS-oriented emodule used the ADDIE model, which consisted of Analyse, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation stages. The trial subject in this study was 13 students of Physics Education Department at Universitas Papua who enrolled in basic physics subject in the second semester of 2018-2019. The instrument used to test the validity of this HOTSoriented e-module was evaluation sheet of the e-module validated by seven validators, which consisted of expert validators and practitioner validators. Meanwhile, effectiveness and practicality instrument for this developed e-module was the questionnaire of students’responses following the implementation of HOTS-oriented e-module learning. The data analysis for the validators’ assessment was V Aiken formula, and students’ responses were measured using the Rasch model. This study showed that the V Aiken value for the developed HOTS-oriented e-module was larger than 0.76 and was valid for each aspect. Rasch model on students’ responses showed logit person larger than 0.00 or that the students agreed with the utilization of the HOTS-oriented e-module in learning. Therefore, it can be concluded that the HOTS-oriented e-module obtained valid, effective, and practical results for use in learning on the topic of electrical circuits.
