PENGARUH METODE PROBLEM BASED LEARNING TERHADAP KETERAMPILAN BERPIKIR TINGKAT TINGGI (HOTS) PADA ADAB BERMEDIA SOSIAL

Abstract

: Learning in the 21st century demands various skills that must be mastered by students in formulating problems, finding out from various sources, thinking analytically, and working together in solving problems. So that students are required to have higher order thinking skills. The low level of students' higher order thinking skills is caused by the lack of collaboration in learning, so that higher order thinking skills need to be improved. The purpose of this study was to detect the effect of the Problem Based Learning learning method on higher order thinking skills (HOTS) and to find out the improvement of students' higher order thinking skills after the Problem Based Learning method was applied to the material of adab using social media lessons on moral aqidah of class VIII MTs Tauhidiyah I Bubulan.

This study uses a quantitative approach with experimental methods, while the model is a quasi-experimental design, the design is a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. This study consisted of two classes, namely the experimental class and the control class. The samples were 15 experimental class students and 15 control class students. Data was collected using unstructured interviews, observation, documentation and tests. The data collection technique was done by giving a pretest and posttest. The data analysis is descriptive and inferential statistical analysis.

In the descriptive test based on the N-Gain test, the average N-Gain value for the experimental class was 0.58 which was in the medium category. While the inferential statistical test using the independent samples test formula with the help of SPSS version 25. Based on the test results, the obtained t_count > t_table is 3.752 > 1.701 and the sig (2-tailed) value is 0.001 < 0.005 so it can be decided that Ho is rejected and Ha accepted. Based on the results of descriptive, inferential and observational statistical analysis, it can be concluded that the use of the Problem Based Learning method has an effect on higher order thinking skills (HOTS) on the material of adab using social media, moral aqidah lessons for class VIII MTs Tauhidiyah I Bubulan and increasing students' higher-order thinking skills. after applying the Problem Based Learning method, it is in the medium category.
