DEVELOPMENT OF E-WORKSHEETS (E-LKPD) FOR SCIENCE IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS BASED ON HIGHER-ORDER THINKING SKILLS (HOTS)

Abstract

This research aims to improve HOTS-based E-Worksheets in Science, test the effectiveness of the E-Worksheets through expert validation, and identify student responses to the development of HOTS-based Science E-Worksheets. This research uses the research and development model, including potential problems, information gathering, product design, design validation, design improvement, and product testing. The research was conducted at SD Negeri Serang 13 with 20 students of 5th grade as subjects for limited testing. The instruments used were questionnaire sheets for module, design, language expert validation, and student responses. The research results indicate that the feasibility of HOTS-based Science E-Worksheets, according to expert evaluations, is considered highly feasible, with a percentage of 92% from material experts, 83.65% from design experts, and 80% from linguists. Students responded positively, with a percentage of 94.6%, categorized as “very good.” The development of HOTS-based Science E-Worksheets is highly suitable to use and has received positive responses to be used as teaching materials.
