Development of General Chemistry Teaching Materials in Integrated Network Based on High Order Thinking Skills

Abstract

The big challenge in the education process in the 21st century is not only preparing the nation's generation that is able to live today, but also a generation equipped with the ability to live in the future that requires problem solving with a critical and creative mindset and has high order thinking skills (HOTS). This research belongs to the type of research and development (R&D) which aims to produce products in the form of online teaching materials integrated with HOTSbased media in the General Chemistry Course for Organic Chemistry. Teaching materials are developed in an integrated manner with HOTS-based media using theapplication Adobe Flash CS6 and Articulate Storyline which can train students to think critically, creatively, analytically towards information and data to solve problems and can be accessed by students online so they can be learned and understood by students by repeating-rework existing concepts or materials anytime and anywhere. The teaching materials in the HOTS-based integrated media network developed have been declared valid and proven effective in increasing student HOTS.
