Abstract

This research aimed to: 1) analyse the need of the product of D-PBL learning model to improve higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). 2) test the feasibility of the D-PBL model prototype to improve higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). 3) test the effectiveness of D-PBL learning model to improve higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). This research used a research and development (R&D) approach based on Borg and Gall procedure consisting of 10 steps: 1) research and information collecting, 2) planning, 3) develop preliminary form of product, 4) preliminary field testing, 5) main product revision, 6) main field testing, 7) operational product revision operational-product revision, 8) operational field testing, 9) final product revision, 10) dissemination and implementation. The feasibility of D-PBL learning model based on criteria score and the results of HOTS were analysed using t-test. Based on the results of the descriptive analysis of D-PBL learning model to improve HOTS, it was found that the score of the validation of the learning-instrument expert was 97% with very good criteria; of the material expert was 93% with very good criteria; of the linguist was 95% with very good criteria; and of the practitioner was 96% with very good criteria. Based on the effectiveness test using IBM SPSS 22 software with t-test formula, the t value obtained from the post-test result of the control and experimental classes was 6,476 with ttable value of 1,683. Thus, t > ttable meaning that the improvement of HOTS in the experiment class is better than that of the control class. Furthermore, the significance value obtained was 0,000 < 0,05 showing that H1 is accepted which means the experimental class is better than the control class. Therefore, it can be concluded that D-PBL model on Economics learning is more feasible to be used and to improve HOTS students than other models. Keywords: Discovery Learning, Problem Based Learning, D-PBL, Higher Order Thinking Skills.
