The Integrated Augmented Reality and Google Scholar as the Test Instrument to Improve High Order Thinking Skills and Digital Literacy Skills

Abstract

Abstract
 Evaluation instruments in the student learning process in interactive, fun, challenging, motivating, and developing students 'creativity and independence are needed to improve students' High Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) and digital literacy skills (DLS). HOTS and digital literacy are part of the 21st-century skills that are important for every individual. This study developed a test instrument integrated with Augmented Reality (AR) and Google Scholar (GS) to encourage HOTS and students' digital literacy skills. This type of research was development research. The subject matter was the scale and comparison. Product trials were applied to 11th-grade students in Sleman, Indonesia. Product validity was based on expert judgment, item validity, distinguishing power, difficulty level and reliability. AR was created using the ARLOOPA application operated with android. The research instrument was designed to increase HOTS and DLS.

The Development of Augmented Reality to Improve Critical Thinking and Digital Literacy Skills of Elementary School Students

“…Augmented Reality can be used in the learning process because it supports science learning to be more interactive (Vari & Bramastia, 2021). Augmented Reality technology can realize the virtual world into the real world so that the application of AR technology in science learning will lead students to find physics concepts independently (Herliandry et al, 2020;Waliyuddin & Sulisworo, 2021). Furthermore, this research was supported by the results of Sirakaya & Alsancak-Sirakaya (2018) and Setyawan (2019), who stated that Augmented Reality was considered to train critical thinking skills because students required the ability to imagine and understand an image called visual literacy skills.…”

“…The use of smartphones in learning was a new and effective step. These digital-based information sources must be used properly and help students to learn to be prepared optimally (Waliyuddin & Sulisworo, 2021). It means that digital-based information must be created by maximizing the potential of technological progress, which is packaged attractively (Shoutthaboualy, Chatwattana & Piriyasurawong, 2021;Nurhasanah, Widodo & Riandi, 2019;Hsu, Wenting & Hughes, 2018).…”
