Abstract

The purpose of this study is to use a quasi-experimental design using pre and post-tests to examine the impact of the edutainment module on the Higher Order Thinking Skills of fifth-year students. The ADDIE model, which consists of steps like "analysis," "design," "development," "implementation," and "evaluation," served as guidance during the module's creation. During the evaluation phase, five science experts reviewed the module's content and usability to ensure its quality. There was a total of 66 participants in the trial, with 33 assigned to each of the treatment and control groups. The pretest and posttest were utilized as evaluative tools. There was an improvement in performance across the board, but the treatment group outdid the controls by a wide margin. In addition, there was a statistically significant difference in the post-treatment and post-control test scores for higher-level thinking skills, as demonstrated by the independent sample t-test results. The results of this investigation indicate that students in Year 5 can benefit from the Jom Bijak Sains Module in terms of their development of Higher Order Thinking Skills. Based on the results of the research, this module can be utilized by fifth-grade science teachers to improve their students' Higher Order Thinking Skills.
