Abstract

Higher Thinking Order Skills (HOTS) must be trained. To train HOTS required process and media. This study aims to produce a basic physics practicum module designed with stages that train HOTS. This development research model uses the Dick & Carrey model. The resulting practicum module is equipped with OR-Code media. The results of this research have obtained a set of practicum modules with the activity stages supporting the formation of HOTS in Physics education students. The HOTS trained include the abilities of: 1) creative thinking, 2) critical thinking, 3) observing, 4) logical thinking, 5) experimental investigation, 6) grouping data, 7) comparing relationships between variables, 8) inductive reasoning, 9) deductive reasoning, 10) systems analysis, and 11) conceptualizing data. The feasibility level of the practicum module was obtained, the feasibility of the material was 89.33%, the media feasibility was 92.92% and the learning feasibility was 93.95%. The validation results show that the practicum module product produced is declared feasible to be used in training students^ HOTS in Basic Physics practicum.
