This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the learning model CUPs (Conceptual Understanding Procedures) against higher order thinking skills (HOTS) of students on class X IPA Madrasah Aliyah Mathla'ul Anwar Gisting. The method used is a quasi-experimental design with non-equivalent control group. Test independent with sample t-test was used to determine differences in high-level thinking skills students use models of cups with direct instructional model. The results of the analysis states that there are differences in the average high-level thinking skills among learners using CUPs models with conventional instructional model. The effectiveness of the use models of CUPs better in improving higher order thinking skills of students, it can be seen from the value obtained effect size of 0.3 is included in the medium.Tujuan dari penelitian ini, adalah untuk meninjau efektivitas penggunaan model pembelajaran CUPs (Conceptual Understanding Procedures) terhadap kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi (KBTT) peserta didik kelas X IPA MA Mathla’ul Anwar Gisting. Metode penelitian yang dipilih yakni kuasi eksperimen dengan desain non equivalent control group. Uji independent sample t-test digunakan untuk mengetahui perbedaan kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi peserta didik menggunakan model CUPs dengan model pembelajaran langsung. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan rerata kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi peserta didik antara menggunakan model CUPs dengan model pembelajaran konvensional. Efektivitas penggunaan model CUPs lebih efektif dalam meningkatkan KBTT peserta didik, ditunjukkan dari nilai effect size yang diperoleh sebesar 0,3 termasuk dalam kategori sedang.

Appropriate learning resources are required when delivering problem-based physics materials integrated with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). This research aims to create a valid, practical, and effective problem-based e-module integrated with STEM and supported by an LMS (Learning Management System) to train creative thinking skills on harmonic vibration material. The 4-D development model was used in this research (define, design, development, and disseminate). The study of tenth-grade students from class MIA 1 at SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Purbolinggo revealed that the developed e-module had a content validity test result of 89 % and a constructs test result of 88%. The practicality test of the readability aspect yielded an 80% result, and the implementation yielded a 79.07% result.Furthermore, the n-gain value for the effectiveness test based on improvement was 0.54 in the medium category. Furthermore, there was a difference in average pretest and posttest scores with less than 0.05. It is possible to conclude that the developed e-module is appropriate for training students' creative thinking skills. Further researchers are expected to develop platform-assisted e-modules that are more interactive and easier to use in future research.
