DEVELOPMENT OF BIOCHEMISTRY E-MODULE TO IMPROVE STUDENTS' HIGHER ORDER THINKING SKILLS

Generations in the 21st century must be prepared to have competencies and skills that include: critical thinking and problem-solving competencies, creativity, communication skills, and the ability to work together. The application of HOTS abilities in the learning process makes students more resilient and able to solve their own problems. The object of this research is the development of a general chemistry e-module for biochemical material to improve students' higher order thinking skills. E-modules are prepared and developed by taking into account the material and media aspects and are designed based on HOTS. The results of the validation and implementation of the developed e-module have been declared valid and proven effective in increasing student HOTS on biochemical material. Student responses to the resulting e-modules are also very positive because the e-modules are designed using the Kvisof Flipbook Maker application which can be opened on laptops, computers or Android devices so that material can be repeated anytime and anywhere and materials and questions are compiled HOTS-based to train and improve students' HOTS skills.
