Mathematics Modules Based on High Level Questions: How to Improve Teachers’ High Order Thinking Skill

Abstract

The aims of this research to produce a mathematics module based of the high-level question to improving high order thinking for middle school mathematics teachers that are valid and practical. This type of research is development research using research and development research methods (R&D), 4-D development models, namely: define, design, develop, disseminate. Research instruments include validation sheets and teacher response questionnaires. The data analysis technique used descriptive statistics. Based on the results of the study, it was proven that mathematics module based of the high-level question in increasing high order thinking for middle school mathematics teachers that was designed was valid and practical. The results of the validity of the module produced in the valid category (78%) and the results of the practicality test through the response questionnaire in the very practical category (84%). In conclusion, mathematics module based of the high-level question was valid and practical to use by teacher to improve teachers’ high order thinking skill.
