Enhancing Higher-Order Thinking Skills among Home Science Students: The Effect of Cooperative Learning Student Teams- Achievement Divisions (STAD) Module

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the cooperative learning module using Student Teams-Achievement Divisions (STAD) techniques in enhancing students' HOTS achievement in the topic of the digestive system and food absorption. A quasi-experimental design was used in this study to gauge the effectiveness of the module. Purposive sampling technique was used to choose the respondents. The study involved 182 students who represented the experimental group and the conventional group. Students were given an intervention by using Home Science STAD Module for five weeks. Descriptive statistics and paired sample t-test were used to determine the effectiveness of the Home Science STAD module on students' HOTS achievement. The findings show ©2020 The authors and IJLTER.ORG. All rights reserved.students' understanding increased for the digestive system and food absorption topics. There was a significant difference in students' HOTS achievement between the experimental learning and conventional learning group. The finding shows the students were actively engaged in teaching and learning. Post-test result shows that the students were able to answer the HOTS question correctly and they can deliver clear explanations and justifications compared to the answers in the pre-test. Findings from this study revealed that the Home Science STAD Module was appropriate to serve as a guideline for teachers who apply and integrate HOTS in the teaching process. Further studies can apply cooperative techniques in other educational contexts in promoting HOTS among students.

Teacher Innovation to Facilitate Student Learning Experiences in Building Construction Cost Estimation Learning

“…In line with previous research that state STAD is the simplest cooperative learning model so it is widely used in cooperative learning and emphasizes the Student process Team Learning (Syakur et al, 2020;Yulianto et al, 2020). Than the use of stad also supported by the other researcher that state, one of the advantages of the STAD learning model is that each group consists of heterogeneous students (Silalahi et al, 2021;Takko et al, 2020). By forming heterogeneous groups, students are expected to more easily master learning materials through small group discussions and collaborations consisting of 4 to 5 people.…”

In addition, previous study also found that STAD can meet the needs of students in critical thinking, problem solving together and integrating knowledge and experience (Silalahi et al, 2021).…”

“…The design of online learning begins with the formulation of learning outcomes, mapping materials, designing synchronous and asynchronous learning flows to selecting media and activities that are PEDATI steps. The STAD learning approach by forming heterogeneous groups, students are expected to more easily master learning materials through small group discussions and collaborations consisting of 4 to 5 people (Takko et al, 2020). In addition, STAD can meet the needs of students in critical thinking, problem solving together and integrating knowledge and experience (Silalahi et al, 2021).…”

HOTS-Based Worksheet in English Learning Activity for Eight Grade Students of Junior High School

“…Students need to be taught critical thinking and higher-order thinking abilities to achieve this learning activity (Anisa, 2017;Hidayatullah et al, 2021;Pursitasari et al, 2020). HOTS are a higher level of thinking created by pupils via the use of numerous concepts and methodologies (Arifin & Retnawati, 2017;Takko et al, 2020). Bloom's Taxonomy-based thinking model includes HOTS as well.…”

Development of Cognitive Ability Test Instrument Based on Revision Bloom Taxonomy on Dynamic Electricity Materials For Students of Senior High School

“…The LOTS stage only explores students' abilities to remember, understand, and apply concepts. These are less relevant to apply to the 21stcentury learning system (Takko et al, 2020).…”
