Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
The purpose of the study was to develop and validate an authentic assessment module to assess  higher order thinking skills. This study used Collect-Relate-Create-Donates (CRCD) model by Ben  Shneiderman as the basis for the contents of the module. The module   was   developed   by   using    ADDIE   (Analysis,   Design,   Development, Implementation,  and  Evaluation)  model.  This   module  underwent  validation  process using  Fleiss'  Kappa  agreement  coefficient  by  eight   experts.  This  study  was  also designed  to determine the effect of  the module towards higher  order thinking skills (HOTS)  amongst  the  students  in  terms  of  their  reasoning  and  problem   solving.  A sample of 30 students was selected from a secondary school in Selangor. This study  involved the administration of pre- and post-tests on the 30 form four Biology students. The module  was conducted during Biology lesson for 12 weeks. The validation showed that  Fleiss'  Kappa   agreement  coefficient  for  face  validation  is  0.63  which  is  at substantial agreement and  0.89 (almost perfect agreement) for content validation. The students were given pre- and post-tests  which consisted of HOTS items adapted from Examinations Syndicate. The pre- and post-tests also  included items that measured the students' ability in problem-solving and reasoning. The data  showed that the mean for the post-test (M = 21.20; SD = 4.96) was higher than the mean for pre-test  (M = 12.07; SD = 3.59). Hence, the data showed that there was an increase in mean scores of the  post-test compared to the pre-test. Students have shown improvement in HOTS after using  the   module.  In  conclusion,  the  authentic  assessment  module  was  effective  in enhancing   students'  ability in  HOTS  particularly  in  reasoning  and  problem-solving. This implicates  that the use of the authentic assessment module can be expanded to form four students in other schools to assess their higher order thinking skills.
