Development of HOTS-Based Instruments with a Science Literacy Approach to Measure Students' High-Level Thinking Ability

Abstract

This research develops multiple open choice reasoning instrument with HOTS (High Order Thinking Skills) learning approach to measure high level thinking ability of class X of Karangpandan high school students on harmonic motion material. The purpose of this study is to develop open reasoning multiple-choice instruments based on HOTS with a scientific literacy approach, to test the validity and reliability of HOTS-based instruments, to test the discrimination power and level of difficulty of HOTS instruments and measure the ability of high-level thinking in class X students on harmonic motion material. The type of research used is R&D by Borg and Gall. The HOTS instrument developed consists of cognitive levels of analysing, evaluating and creating. HOTS instruments have been tested for content validity and empirically that produced 14 items that were declared as valid. The instrument showed rcount > rtable. The results of high-level thinking skills of students can be categorized as very less as 1.60%, less as 74.60% and sufficient as 23.80%.
