Development and Validation of Open Ended Based on Worksheet for Growing Higher Level Thinking Skills of Students

Abstract

This research aims to develop open ended-based worksheet in improving students' high-level thinking skills on static fluid materials. The method used in this research is Research and Development (R&D) with 3 steps namely, the initial stage, then the design and development of the product, and finally the product testing. The data analysis technique for product effectiveness is with the main field trials, namely (1) N-gain analysis, (2) paired t-test, (3) ANCOVA, and finally (4) effect size test. From the test results obtained information that conducted 10 students showed the results of the development worksheets obtained the average worth of development products by 90% this value is included in the very high category, while the student response of the average of 88% and also the readability response of 89% in the very high category. In the results of the n-gain analysis also show the value is0.70, that mean medium category. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that worksheets based on open ended can improve students' higher-order thinking skills. So, in further development we suggest that open ended-based on worksheet is not only applied to static fluid material, but also in other materials.

Analysis of the Development Needs of HOTS-Based Electronic Student Worksheets with Culturally Responsive Teaching Approach in Elementary Schools

“…One of the significant challenges in the current education system is integrating information and communication technology into learning, especially at the elementary school level. The education system in Indonesia today encourages learners to acquire the skills necessary to face the complex challenges of the 21st century (Abdurrahman et al, 2020;Pebriani et al, 2022). Rapid social, economic, and technological changes characterize the 21st century.…”

“…Critical thinking skills are vital in facing an increasingly complex and changing world. Critical thinking skills are essential in this fourth industrial revolution to prepare learners to tackle increasingly complex life challenges (Abdurrahman et al, 2020). Primary education, especially at the elementary school level, plays a crucial role in shaping the foundation of critical thinking skills for learners.…”

Development of Guided Inquiry-Oriented Worksheets to Train Students' Metacognitive Skills on Acid-Base Material

“…Based on the data from filling out the pre-research questionnaire, 58.3% of students expect worksheets to contain material, practice questions, and phenomena that must be resolved through practice questions. Improved student learning outcomes can be achieved by incorporating environmental phenomena into learning materials (Abdurrahman, et al, 2020).…”
