Pengembangan Lembar Kerja Mahasiswa Berbasis High Order Thinking Skills Pada Matakuliah Matematika Di Universitas Terbuka

Abstract

Mathematical thinking is divided into lower-order thinking skills (LOTS) and higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). The LOTS is consisted of recall thinking and basic thinking, while HOTS required a more complex thinking abilities such as critical thinking and creative thinking. This research is aimed to develop a valid, effective, and practical HOTS-based worksheet for S-1 PGSD students who took Mathematics course in Universitas Terbuka. The application of HOTS-based worksheet is expected to be able to improve students’ learning motivation, as well as their ability in thinking critically and creatively in solving mathematical problems. The research is a developmental research, and the obtained data were analyzed descriptively. The subjects of this research were 72 students of S-1 PGSD program Universitas Terbuka Surabaya who took Mathematics (PDGK4108) course. The results showed that the developed HOTS-based worksheet fulfils the validity, practical, and effective criteria to improve students’ learning motivation, which can be seen that 77% of students (56 students) felt encouraged and motivated to think critically and creatively, 72% of students (52 students) showed the ability to solve problem based questions. Furthermore, 78% of the students (41 students) achieved 75 out of 100 score or more. It can be concluded that the application of the developed HOTS-based worksheet is suitable in teaching Mathematics.
 Kemampuan berpikir dalam matematika dibagi atas kemampuan berpikir tingkat rendah (low order thinking skills disingkat LOTS) dan berpikir tingkat tinggi (high order thinking skills disingkat HOTS). Berpikir yang tergolong LOTS meliputi berpikir memanggil (recall thinking), dan berpikir dasar (basic thinking),sedangkan yang tergolong HOTS meliputi berpikir kritis (critical thinking) dan berpikir kreatif (creative thinking). Penelitian ini bertujuan mengembangkan LKM (lembar kerja mahasiswa) berbasis HOTS pada matakuliah Matematika di program S-1 PGSD UT yang valid, efektif dan praktis. Pendekatan tutorial dengan menggunakan LKM HOTS ini, diharapkan dapat meningkatkan motivasi belajar mahasiswa dan meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kritis serta meningkatkan kemampuan dalam mengerjakan soal-soal matematika sehingga dapat meningkatkan hasil belajar. Jenis penelitian adalah penelitian pengembangan (developmental research) dan deskriptif. Subjek penelitian sebanyak 72 mahasiswa program S1 PGSD UPBJJ UT Surabaya yang mengambil mata kuliah Matematika (PDGK4108). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa LKM berbasis HOTS yang dikembangkan memenuhi kriteria valid, praktis danefektif, untuk meningkatkan motivasi belajar mahasiswa, ditunjukkan oleh 77% (56 mahasiswa) yang merasa tertantang dan termotivasi untuk berpikir tingkat tinggi (kritis, dan kreatif), 72% (52 mahasiswa) mampu menyelesaikan soal-soal yang bersifat pemecahan masalah, dan dari mahasiswa yang mampu tersebut ada sebanyak 78 % (41 mahasiswa) mendapat nilai lebih dari atau sama 75 dari skor maksimal 100. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa LKM bebasis HOTS yang dikembangkan cocok untuk diaplikasikan dalam pengajaran matematika.

Development of Hots-Based Function Derivative Worksheet Through a Network Learning System Spada

“…Giving worksheets is one of the efforts to help students be more enthusiastic and active in constructing their knowledge (Anggraini, Anwar, & Madang, 2016). This statement is in line with Mairing (Prastiti, Tresnaningsih, & Thaib, 2019), which states that student worksheets can help students increase their knowledge and motivation to learn. Therefore, researchers are keen to develop worksheets for learning mathematics with calculus-based courses on HOTS to produce a prototype worksheet for calculus courses that the student uses to improve high-level thinking skills for learning more meaningful.…”

Validity of Derivative Calculus Textbook to Increase Learning Motivation

“…. This is reinforced by the results of research (Prastii, Tri et al, 2019) who said that media that have met valid criteria can increase student learning motivation, even 77% of students feel challenged and motivated to learn independently.…”

“…According to Prastii et al (2019), self-initiative or initiative in learning teaching materials, doing assignments, strengthening skills, and applying their learning experiences in the field or work are things that students must have if they study independently. Learning independently means having the flexibility of learning time, without being limited by space and distance.…”

The development of student activity sheet on trigonometric material based on local culture

“…The following are the opinions of several experts about LKM: (i) Worksheets contain instructions, steps for completing a task (Yolanda, 2019); (ii) LKM is sheets that contain information and instructions to carry out a learning activity such as doing assignments or exercises related to the material being taught to achieve learning objectives (Ernawati et al, 2017); (iii) Mathematics LKM contains questions that help students construct their understanding of the material in mathematics courses (Prastiti et al, 2019).…”
