The effects of Hayati Eksplorasi Berfikir Aras Tinggi (HEBAT)
Abstract
The primary purpose of the study was to determine the effects of the HEBAT module (Change in Matter) in improving the understanding of matter concepts and higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). A sample consisted of 90 of form one students from several schools in Melaka, Malaysia. This study used the mixed-mode method and sequential explanatory design to obtain the required data. The pre-test and post-test (understanding the concept of matter test and HOTS achievement test) derived for quantitative data. While qualitative data derived from the interview protocol. For the analysis of the understanding of the matter concept, the paired T-test analysis found that there was a significant difference between the pre-test and the post-test score. While for HOTS achievement test, paired T-test showed that there was no significant difference between pre-test and post-test score. The results of the qualitative data found that the HEBAT module helped improve the concept of matter but did not improve students’ HOTS. Based on the findings, suggestions will be made to improvise the current HEBAT Module.
