Developing E-Module for Prospective Sociology Educators: Constructing Multiple Choice Questions Based on Higher Order Thinking Skill (HOTS)

Abstract

This research aims to develop e-modules that can be used by prospective educators in sociology subjects. This research was conducted based on an analysis of internal needs and external evaluation. Internal analysis was carried out by conducting surveys and FGDs on students to find indicators of their obstacles in mastering the material for making HOT questions. Meanwhile, the evaluation of external needs was carried out by finding deficiencies in the existing modules. Furthermore, e-module product development is carried out using the ADDIE model. The integration of audio-visual media in this e-module is a major advantage in product development. Users can understand the explanation of the module because the material explanation can be conveyed more specifically. The results of the evaluation show that the development of e-modules can help students more easily understand the material and practice developing HOT questions for sociology subjects. In addition, this module is also useful to teachers in several schools.
