DEVELOPMENT OF MATHEMATICS MODULE BASED ON THE PROBLEM SOLVING STRATEGY TO MEASURE HIGH ORDER THINKING ABILITY OF STUDENTS

Abstrak

This study aims to determine the process of developing mathematics teaching materials based on problem solving strategies on the subject of numbers with exponents and root forms for Junior High Shool in Grade IX. This type of research used Research & Development (R&D) research refer to ADDIE model, consist of analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation process. The subjects of this study were students of Junior High School grade IX in Percut Sei Tuan. Validation sheets, learning observation sheets using problem solving strategy-based modules, and student response questionnaires are the kinds of assessment techniques and instruments. Developed module give result as a valid, practical, effective, and can measure the high-level abilities of students module. (1) Validation from the experts stated that the average value of the aspect of the problem solving strategy based module on the matter of numbers with exponents and root forms was 3.57. This means that the assessment results from the two validators are valid. (2) Practical, based on the results of large-scale/field trials, the score is N 73.380 with Practical criteria. (3) Effective, the results of the effectiveness test conducted during the field trial were 17 students who completed and 7 students who did not complete the questions. The effectiveness test of the students carried out was known that the presentation of completeness got results up to 70.83% with effective criteria. (4) higher-order thinking skills, the results obtained on higher-order thinking skills in the sample are 61.17% with good criteria. Data showed this teaching and learning materials is appropriate use in schools.
