Pengembangan E-Modul IPA Berbasis Google Teachable Machine Untuk Meningkatkan Higher Order Thinking Skills Siswa SMP

Abstract

Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) are one of the important skills that students must have in facing the challenges of the 21st century, especially in science learning. However, observations and various studies show that junior high school students' HOTS skills are still relatively low. This condition is caused by the limited availability of interactive teaching materials that can train higher-order thinking skills and the minimal use of artificial intelligence-based technology in learning. Therefore, this study aims to develop a Google Teachable Machine-based e-module that is valid, practical, and effective in improving the HOTS of junior high school science students. This research is a research and development study that uses the ADDIE model, which includes the stages of Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate. The research subjects were 23 students of class VII C of SMPN 1 Pakusari Jember in the odd semester of the 2025/2026 academic year. Data collection instruments included expert validation sheets, learning implementation observation sheets, pre-tests and post-tests, and student response questionnaires. The data were analyzed to determine the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of the developed e-module. The results showed that the Google Teachable Machine- based e-module had a validity level in the highly valid category. The practicality of the e-module was in the highly positive category based on the results of the learning implementation observation. The effectiveness of the e-module was demonstrated by an increase in student learning outcomes, as seen from the N-gain score, which was in the moderate category. In addition, student responses to the use of the e- module were in the very good category. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the Google Teachable Machine-based e-module is suitable for use as teaching material and effective in improving the Higher Order Thinking Skills of junior high school science students.
