Increase Interest Participant Educate Class 2 on Hots Based Sharing Material Through The Application of The Problem Based Learning Model

Abstract

This research aims to enhance the learning interest of 4th-grade students at SDN 076107 Ramba-Ramba Boholu towards division topics through the implementation of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model using Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) based Student Worksheets (LKPD). Using the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method, the study involves 12 students and focuses on changes in students' learning interest throughout four learning sessions. Research instruments include observations, interviews, and document analysis. The results of the study show a significant improvement in students' learning interest, measured through an assessment scale. It is important to note that the research results indicate a progressive increase in students' learning interest. This provides empirical support for the effectiveness of learning strategies focused on concrete problem-solving and higher- order thinking. This improvement is not only quantitatively measured through assessment scales but is also reflected in student engagement and their positive responses to the learning process. Based on these findings, recommendations are provided to guide future approaches and learning practices. Teachers are reminded to be active in implementing PBL in various mathematical contexts and to design LKPD that are more focused on HOTS. Active student engagement and the implementation of collaborative methods are also considered crucial in maximizing learning outcomes. Furthermore, additional research is recommended to explore the long-term impact of implementing PBL and HOTS-based LKPD on students' understanding of concepts and skills at the elementary level.
