The Influence of Pop Up Book Learning Media on Students' HOTS Ability in Natural Science Materials in MI

Abstract

Higher order thinking skills (HOTS) are the ability to solve problems, think creatively, think critically, give arguments, and make decisions. Giving an understanding of HOTS makes students have the capabilities according to the 21st century so that they are able to compete and get more space in various sectors needed in life. To realize HOTS student teachers must be more innovative in using learning media, one of which is by using pop up book media. This study aims to see the effect of pop up book learning media on the HOTS ability of students on science and weather material and its effect on class III humans at MIS Nurul Huda binjai. This research framework uses a quasi-experimental design where the research design used is a nonequivalent control group design. Data collection techniques using pretest-posttest. In analyzing the data, researchers used validity, reliability, normality tests with the Wilcoxon test and the Mann-Whitney test. For the validity test, 10 valid questions were found, for the reliability test the results of Cronbranch's alpha = 0.640 (reliable). In the Wilcoxon normality test, the output of the statistical test was found to be Asymp.Sig. (2-tailed) has a value of 0.001 because the value of 0.001 is smaller than 0.05 (0.001 <0.05) there is an effect of using pop up book learning media on students' HOTS abilities. For the Mann-Whitney test, the Asymp.Sig value is found. (2-tailed) of 0.000 <0.05. It can be said that there are differences in the HOTS of students between the experimental class and the control class. This means that there is an effect of using Pop Up Book learning media on the HOTS abilities of class III students on science material in MI.
