The aim of this study is to improve student’s higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) in solving Pythagoras theorem problems through digital learning module. The digital learning module involved in this study is the i-Think module (Mi-T1). This study employed the quasi experimental design with pre and post-test applied to both, control and experimental groups. The control and experimental groups consisted of the same number of Form One (aged between 12 and 13 years old) student that about 30 students each, with the control group had 14 females and 16 males, whereas the experimental group had 15 males and 15 females. Learning activities were carried out according to the teacher’s time-table and were completed in 5 weeks, approximately 10 hours per group, whereby the control group used the official text book (provided by the Ministry of Education for all students to be used in school) and the experimental group utilized Mi-T1. In addition, a survey was administered to the experimental group to measure the participants’ perceived usefulness of digital learning module. The analysis of independent sample t-test showed that the experimental group had significantly improved in their higher-order thinking skills compared to the control group. The survey data also indicated that the participants in the experimental group perceived the usefulness of the digital learning module to be equally high. Premised on these findings, the digital learning module, Mi-T1 can be used to improve students’ higher-order thinking skills in solving Pythagoras Theoremproblems.

The study's purpose was to investigate the effectiveness of Learning Strategy of Thinking Ability Improvement (SPPKB) application used to improve Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) of social study (IPS) students in economics learning. The research method used a quasi-experimental method with pretest-posttest control group design and effectiveness data analysis using a t-test. The research populations were 1-eleventh grade social study class (XI IPS 1) having 25 students as the experimental class and 2-eleventh grade social study (XI IPS 2) class having 27 students as the control class. The different treatment between the two classes was that in the experimental class applied the SPPKB model while the control class employed the conventional learning model. The study results reveal that the use of SPPKB has never been implemented in economics learning in the classroom. The effectiveness of using the SPPKB shows the values of the t-test results for Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) abilities with significance values of 0.000 <0.05. These results indicate that there is a significant influence on the SPPKB implementation to enhance students' Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in economics learning.

Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) sangat diperlukan oleh peserta didik guna meningkatkan kemampuannya dalam mengatasi masalah pembelajaran. Hasil observasi menunjukkan bahwa masih banyak peserta didik di SMA Negeri 1 Manokwari yang mengalami kesulitan dalam memahami konsep fisika yang menurut mereka rumit. Salah satu model pembelajaran yang dapat melatih kemampuan berpikir peserta didik atau HOTS melalui penyelesaian masalah yaitu Problem Based Learning (PBL). Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis apakah terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan HOTS peserta didik yang diajar menggunakan model PBL dengan yang diajar menggunakan model konvensional. Metode yang digunakan yaitu Quasi Eksperimental dengan Non Equivalent Control Group Design. Teknik purposive sampling digunakan dalam pemilihan sampel yaitu Kelas XI IPA 2 sebagai kelas eksperimen yang berjumlah 24 orang dan kelas XI IPA 5 sebagai kelas kontrol yang berjumlah 32 orang. Hasil analisis uji prasyarat diperoleh bahwa data nilai HOTS peserta didik tidak terdistribusi normal dan tidak homogen sehingga dilakukan uji non parametrik wilcoxon. Nilai rata-rata HOTS peserta didik pada kelas eksperimen dan kontrol ditinjau dari aspek kognitif menganalisis 35,6 dan 32,6, mengevaluasi 60,8 dan 63,3, serta mengkreasi 32,3 dan 16,9. Nilai signifikansi uji wilcoxon sebesar 0,000 (sig 2-tailed < 0,05) yang menunjukkan bahwa terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan HOTS peserta didik yang diajar menggunakan model PBL dengan yang diajar menggunakan model konvensional. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa model pembelajaran PBL berpengaruh terhadap HOTS peserta didik. Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) is needed by students to improve their ability to overcome learning problems. The results of the observation show that there were still many students in SMA Negeri 1 Manokwari who have difficulties in understanding the concept of physics which they think is complicated. One learning model that can train students' thinking skills or HOTS through problem solving is Problem Based Learning (PBL). The purpose of this study was to analyze whether there was a significant influence of HOTS students that were taught using PBL models with those taught using conventional models. The method used was Quasi-Experimental with Non-Equivalent Control Group Design. The purposive sampling technique was used in the selection of samples, namely Class XI Science 2 as an experimental class totalling 24 people and class XI IPA 5 as a control class totalling 32 people. The results of the prerequisite test analysis showed that the HOTS valuesof students were not normally distributed and were not homogeneous so that the non parametric test of Wilcoxon was carried out. The average score of HOTS of students in the experimental and control classes viewed from the cognitive aspect analyzed 35.6 and 32.6, evaluated 60.8 and 63.3, and created 32.3 and 16.9. Wilcoxon tested significance value was 0,000 (sig 2-tailed <0,05) which shows that there was a significant influence of HOTS students that were taught using PBL models with those taught using conventional models. It can be concluded that PBL learning models affect HOTS students.
