Development of A Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) Instrument to Measure Student’s Critical Thinking Abilities in Class V Elementary School

/in /by

This research and development aims to produce a feasible and practical Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) instrument to measure students’ critical thinking skills in grade V elementary school mathematics subjects. This research method is development research that refers to the design of Borg & Gall. The research was conduct in class V SDN 3 Sumberejo. Feasibility testing of instruments developed in this study uses expert tests, validity tests, reliability tests, differentiation power tests and difficulty tests. The results of this study showed that an eight-question instrument was obtained, which is suitable for use. The practicality of the instrument, based on the response of educators and learners as practitioners, yielded a very practical assessment. This demonstrates that the developed HOTS instrument is feasible and practical for measuring the critical thinking ability of fifth-grade elementary school students.

This research aims to develop E-Assessment Literacy Oriented Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) which is expected to be able to measure students’ critical thinking skills. This research uses research methods according to ADDIE with five stages, namely Analisys, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation. The sampling technique used in this research is saturated sampling, the population of this study was class V students at SDN Berundung. The sample in this research was class V A students at SDN Berundung. The research results include the feasibility, practicality and effectiveness of the product. Product feasibility seen from the product validation results is classified as very valid, the language aspect shows an average of 0.800. The media aspect shows an average of 0.875. The test instrument was also validated by the validator as the research product showed an average of 0.650. The practicality of the product can be seen from the average percentage of educators’ responses of 90% with very practical interpretations, while student responses were 90% with very practical interpretations. The effectiveness of the product can be seen based on trial data carried out in class V of SDN Berundung. The research results prove that class V A is at stage post-test has the highest value of 90 and the lowest value of 80 with an average value of 84.58, and a standard deviation of 2.93. This shows that there is a significant influence on measuring critical thinking skills using E-Assessment literacy oriented HOTS.
