Abstract
This study aims to determine (1) the effect of implementing STEM-based modules on students' higher order thinking skills; and (2) the effect of self confidence on students' higher order thinking skills. This study used an experimental method with a one way ANOVA research design. The research sample was 18 students in one class and attended vibration and wave courses. The instrument used to measure students' high-order thinking skills in the form of HOTS test questions in the form of essays totaling 10 questions that have high valid and reliable criteria and a closed questionnaire with a Likert scale to measure student self-confidence. The research data were analyzed statistically which included the N-Gain test, analysis prerequisite test and hypothesis testing. The results showed that significantly, learning using STEM-based modules had an effect on students' higher order thinking skills. The increase in students' higher order thinking skills is higher for the level of creating when compared to the level of analyzing and evaluating. Meanwhile, there is no significant effect of self-confidence on students' higher order thinking abilities.
Highlights
Science and technology is growing rapidly in the era of industrial revolution 4.0
Through the STEM module, students are trained to analyze problems, formulate problems, identify aspects of science, technology, Implementation of Vibration and Waves Module based on Stem Education to Improve Higher-Order Thinking Ability Viewed from Student’s Self Confidence engineering and mathematics in vibration and wave phenomena and plan efforts to solve problems through engineering design ideas related to the concepts of vibration and waves
The results of this study indicate a Implementation of Vibration and Waves Module based on Stem Education to Improve Higher-Order Thinking Ability Viewed from Student’s Self Confidence significance value greater than 0.05, so it can be concluded that there is no effect of self-confidence on students' higher-order thinking skills (Table 3)
Summary
The development of science and technology certainly has a major impact on the progress of a nation. Sophisticated technologies cannot be separated from the development of human ability in science so that it can benefit in daily. One of important skills needed in facing global competition in the 21st century is the ability to think at a higher level or known as HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skill) (Saido et al, 2018; Rozi & Hanum, 2019). According to Nitko & Broookhart (2011), HOTS is divided into four groups, namely problem solving, decision making, critical thinking and creative thinking. HOTS is the ability to connect, manipulate, change the knowledge and experience already possessed critically and creatively in making decisions to solve problems in new situations (Dinni, 2018). If associated with Anderson's Taxonomy, HOTS includes the ability to analyze, evaluate and create (Saido et al, 2018; Nabilah et al, 2019)
