DEVELOPMENT OF E-MODULES TO IMPROVE STUDENTS' HIGH ORDER THINKING SKILLS

To face the 21st century, identification of student competencies that need to be developed is very important. When students are directed to be able to think critically, creatively and able to solve problems, it means that students are targeted to have higher order thinking skills (HOTS). This study aims to develop a general chemistry e-module for thermochemistry material to improve students’ higher order thinking skills. The development model used refers to the ADDIE model. E-modules are prepared and developed by taking into account the material and media aspects and are designed to be HOTS-oriented using the Kvisof Flipbook Maker application. The developed e-module is declared feasible to be applied in thermochemistry learning based on the assessment of expert validators and has proven to be effective in increasing student HOTS based on student HOTS results.
