INTRODUCTION The process of learning physics involves cultivating curiosity through direct discovery by employing scientific work that utilizes facts, constructs concepts, principles, theories, and scientific Various physical phenomena in daily life are directly observable by students. there are also many phenomena that are difficult to observe or realistically depict due to certain Teaching and applying physics in schools is crucial because it not only provides students with scientific knowledge but also serves as a platform for the development of scientific working skills, which are essential for solving everyday problems . Physics is an experimental science used to uncover principles and patterns that link various aspects of the universe . It is not merely about memorizing theories or formulas but involves deeply understanding numerous concepts . Achieving proficiency in physics necessitates mastery over three fundamental aspects of the discipline: concepts, laws or principles, and theories. Mastery over these components is essential for successful engagement with physics . The effectiveness of the learning process is reflected in the high achievement levels indicate successful learning, while lower achievement levels may signal that the educational objectives have not been met. Djamarah . posits that the learning process is deliberately crafted to benefit students, encompassing both mental and physical engagement, thereby leading to transformative changes in behavior and attitudes. Consequently, a robust ability to conceptualize within physics is imperative for success in the field. Several factors determine the learning outcomes in physics, including both internal and external Internal factors originate from within the students themselves, whereas external factors come from outside the student's personal environment . External factors might include the teaching methods employed by educators, the condition of the classroom, the atmosphere of the learning environment, available resources, and more. Internal factors, on the other hand, pertain to the characteristics of the students, which can encompass intelligence, talent, motivation, social class, level of aspiration, perceptions, attitudes, and learning styles . The field of Natural Sciences, particularly physics, plays a strategic role in preparing students with the hopes of cultivating their abilities to think creatively, critically, and logically, and to have the initiative to respond to problems in their environment caused by the effects of knowledge. Critical thinking is included in the life skills essential for the 21st century that students are expected to master. Critical thinking demands effort, care about accuracy, and a persistent attitude in any situation, including when facing difficult tasks. Individuals who possess critical thinking abilities are usually characterized by an openness to new ideas . The capacity to apply critical thinking is immensely beneficial in daily life. According to Brookfield and Gormley, critical thinking skills can assist in addressing everyday life challenges as well as those encountered in professional and career contexts . There has been a paradigm shift from Low Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) to HOTS, which currently forms the foundation of the learning model framework, specifically focusing on the C4. C5, and C6 levels of cognitive tasks . HOTS represent a level of mental reasoning that is undeniably advanced . HOTS is also regarded as a component of creative thinking abilities and critical thinking skills . HOTS encompasses abilities in problem-solving, thinking, analyzing, arguing, and decision-making . HOTS was first conceptualized by an author and Associate Professor from Duquesne University, named Susan M. Brookhart, in her book. AuHow to Assess Higher-order Thinking Skills in Your ClassroomAy . HOTS represent the highest level in the hierarchy of cognitive processes. High-level thinking skills are closely related to cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains, all of which integrate within the teaching and learning process . In physics education, critical thinking can be implemented by aligning critical thinking skill indicators with the specific characteristics of physics learning materials. The indicators used for measurement are presented in Table 1. JIPF. Vol. 10 No. May 2025 Cognitive Process Analyzing Evaluating Creating Table 1. Indicators of HOTS . Cognitive Process Dimensions Knowledge Dimensions Differentiating Organizing Conceptual Attributing Examining Procedural Criticizing or Assessing Formulating Planning Metacognitive Producing The term HOTS is used to describe various cognitive activities that go beyond the level of understanding and are situated below the level of application, according to Bloom's Taxonomy . Empirically, students who possess HOTS can learn more effectively, develop more complete performance, and mitigate some learning deficiencies . Essentially, by employing creative and innovative thinking, students are effectively applying higher-level thinking skills. The implementation of HOTS in students brings several benefits, including developing a positive attitude, enhancing motivation, and improving academic achievement . In terms of enhancing learning outcomes through the use of HOTS in students, the results will be more significant if accompanied by the capability for independent learning. Learner autonomy is crucial for students to take responsibility for organizing and disciplining themselves, enabling them to develop learning abilities based on their own volition . Learner autonomy is characterized by an individual's attitude in the self-learning process aimed at achieving goals that contribute actively to the learning process and not depending on others . The term often used to describe learner autonomy is self-regulated learning . Learner autonomy is not merely about studying alone but rather emphasizes the aspects of being active, creative, and independent in oneAos learning process. The indicators of learner autonomy can be categorized into eight types: . thinking critically, creatively, and innovatively. being uninfluenced by others. facing problems capably. having a deep understanding of problem-solving. solving oneAos own problems without seeking others' opinions. possessing high self-confidence, even in situations different from others. having a diligent and disciplined work ethic. taking responsibility for oneAos actions . The level of a personAos learning autonomy in the learning process is not solely determined by the individual themselves. There are two types of factors influencing student learning autonomy: endogenous and exogenous factors. Exogenous factors include family conditions, school environment, and the surrounding community. Endogenous factors originate within the students themselves and include physiological factors such as physical condition and health, as well as psychological factors like talents, interests, independent attitudes, motivation, and intelligence . In the educational process, the role of the teacher as a facilitator is critical in enhancing the exogenous factors that improve student learning autonomy. The 2013 Curriculum (K. , which is based on Student Centered Learning and casts the teacher as a facilitator, mandates that students be more actively involved in the learning process. To realize this active involvement of students in aiding the learning process, it is essential to employ various strategies and innovations. A learning strategy is a process that involves techniques, the selection of various methods, and steps in teaching that educators can determine to optimize students' capabilities in the learning process . One strategy that teachers can implement to enhance HOTS and learner autonomy is by choosing appropriate models and learning media. The use of media supports the learning process. educational media includes all forms of objects and tools used to facilitate the learning process . Examples of learning media include textbooks, modules. Student Worksheets (LKPD), and educational props . Interactive LKPDs serve as one of the learning resources that can be distributed during the educational process. The ability to foster HOTS and independent learning attitudes towards physics among students can be facilitated by implementing interactive LKPDs in their education. With technological advancements, p-ISSN: 2477-5959 | e-ISSN: 2477-8451 Developing E-LKPD based on Creative Problem Solving to Enhance Higher Order Thinking Skills andA Diah Nurrachmah. Restu Widiatmono there has been significant innovation in educational media, particularly with interactive LKPDs that have integrated electronic features, known as E-LKPDs. E-LKPDs are interactive electronic teaching materials that include summaries of topics, instructional guidelines tailored to the content while referencing basic competencies and learning objectives . The ease of accessing E-LKPD media via smartphones or computers adds a distinct appeal for users. Moreover, the innovative features of ELKPDs, which include comprehensive and engaging elements such as images, videos, animations, and online experiments, are particularly well-suited for meeting the diverse needs and learning outcomes desired by students. The E-LKPD developed through the Creative Problem Solving (CPS) approach, wherein the CPS model is a strategy that engages students in critical thinking and equips them with problem-solving This model of creative problem solving promotes creativity in tackling challenges, a process that demonstrates competence in HOTS. The CPS learning model stimulates students to become more active in generating innovative ideas, which can then serve as solutions to the problems presented . Furthermore, the implementation of the CPS model in the educational process can enhance problem-solving abilities, scientific process skills, and students' metacognitive awareness . To facilitate the development of innovative interactive LKPDs, or E-LKPD, using the CPS approach, the Live Worksheet application can be utilized. This application supports the inclusion of text, images, audio, video, animations, and online experiments. Beyond employing the CPS model to enhance HOTS capabilities, the Live Worksheet website can also be used to boost motivation, independent learning, and the academic outcomes of students in physics. According to Prihandono . , the use of an interactive E-LKPD assisted by Live Worksheet can improve critical thinking skills, evidenced by an N-gain of 53. 1% . n the moderate categor. , with an increase in the completion rate of physics learning outcomes by 22. Research related to the development of E-LKPD using the CPS approach has been extensively however, studies specifically focusing on enhancing the HOTS capabilities and the independent learning attitudes of students on the topics of progressive and standing waves in the eleventh grade at MAN 2 Yogyakarta through the Live Worksheet website have not yet been The choice of topics on progressive and standing waves is motivated by interviews with physics teachers, who indicated that these topics contain many concepts applicable to daily life. Nevertheless, the inadequate application of these concepts to solve real-life problems is a key factor contributing to the students' difficulties in developing their HOTS capabilities. Additionally, the use of E-LKPD CPS that includes evaluation questions within the cognitive domain of high-level critical thinking, accessible online anytime and anywhere, has not been available in the schools where the researcher conducted observations and data collection. There is also a lack of full awareness among the students regarding the attitude towards independent learning. This is evident from the students' reluctance to complete tasks based on their own initiative, often lacking confidence in their own work, although there are some students who exhibit a high awareness of independent learning, it is not yet Based on these observations, the author is motivated to develop an E-LKPD product through the CPS approach to enhance the HOTS capabilities and independent learning attitudes of students on the topics of progressive and standing waves. METHOD This developmental research resulted in an E-LKPD based on Creative Problem Solving (CPS) using the 4-D development process . efine, design, development, disseminat. , omitting the disseminate The product development phase was conducted at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. Yogyakarta State University, within the Department of Master of Science in Physics Education. The data collection methods employed included validation, observation, testing, and survey The validation method involved sending files and the developed product to validators online. Observations were made of student activities in accordance with the student activity sheets through DOI: 10. 26737/jipf. JIPF. Vol. 10 No. May 2025 activities in the CPS syntax. Testing was conducted online during the learning activities in the In this developmental study, two sample groups were utilized: one experimental class and one control A limited trial was conducted with 33 students from XI MIPA 1 as the experimental class and 33 students from XI MIPA 2 as the control class at MAN 2 Yogyakarta. A pre-test was administered to each sample group to assess the initial capabilities of the students. Meanwhile, a post-test was given to each group to determine the final capabilities as a benchmark for the success of the learning process after the treatment was administered. The experimental class and control class received different The experimental class was taught using the E-LKPD CPS, while the control class used traditional student worksheets and teaching modules provided by the school. The Define phase includes five main stages: front-end analysis, learner analysis, task analysis, concept analysis, and analysis of learning objectives specifications. The front-end analysis results in a study addressing fundamental issues concerning the HOTS capabilities and the independent learning attitudes of students towards relevant learning resources. Learner analysis involves examining the characteristics of studentsAo school life conditions to facilitate the achievement of curricular goals. Task analysis entails a review of the tasks and materials presented in learning, ensuring that the breadth of the product to be developed aligns with the utilized curriculum. Concept analysis is the stage where key concepts are identified and then systematically arranged according to relevant concepts. Analysis of learning objectives specifications is a summary of all task and concept analysis results, which then guide the learning objectives. These defined learning objectives are subsequently used as the basis for creating tests and designing the tools used in CPS-based E-LKPD learning. The Design phase encompasses four principal stages: constructing criterion-referenced tests, media selection, format selection, and creating an initial design. The construction of criterion-referenced tests is aimed at developing data collection instruments such as validation sheets, teacher assessment sheets, pre-test and post-test questions, student response questionnaires, and questionnaires on students' independent learning. Media selection is carried out to determine the most suitable media based on the quality of the students and the objectives for item enhancement. Format selection serves as a foundation for the content writing in the developed product to ensure alignment with the syntax of the adopted learning model. Creating an initial design involves developing teaching modules, data collection instruments, and the E-LKPD CPS product. The aspects included in the E-LKPD CPS are developed to enhance the HOTS capabilities and the independent learning attitudes of the students. The Development phase involves the implementation of the E-LKPD CPS with eleventh-grade science students (MIPA) at MAN 2 Yogyakarta, scheduled for March to April 2024. Two classes, each comprising 33 students, will participate, with one serving as the experimental group and the other as the control group. The instruments employed include the E-LKPD CPS validation sheet, student activity observation sheet. HOTS-based pre-test and post-test questions, independent learning attitude questionnaire, and a student response questionnaire. The validity of the E-LKPD CPS will be determined using validation sheets completed by expert media validators and content validators, which will then be analyzed using the following Likert scale. I = X The next step involves converting the average score of each aspect into a qualitative product quality level, using ideal conversion guidelines. Here are the steps to calculate the ideal average as follows.

In contrast, the control class also experienced an increase in cognitive scores, but it was not as significant, with a mean score of 62. This indicates that the E-LKPD CPS is effective in enhancing cognitive learning outcomes in the topics of traveling waves and stationary HOTS Learning Outcomes The learning outcomes for students' HOTS in the topics of traveling waves and stationary waves can be assessed using the pretest and posttest question sheets. The posttest instrument measuring HOTS capabilities includes both multiple-choice and essay questions. The data from the pretest and posttest DOI: 10. 26737/jipf. JIPF. Vol. 10 No. May 2025 were then analyzed using the N-gain test. The N-gain test aims to determine the improvement in students' HOTS abilities. The recap of the HOTS learning outcomes for the students is presented in Table 9. Class Experimental Control Tabel 9. The results of N-gain test HOTS Pre-test Post-test N-gain (%) 37,67 76,46 70,69 % 37,03 62,07 63,76 % Category Fairly Effective Fairly Effective Based on Table 9, the N-gain test results for both the experimental and control classes indicate a criterion of fairly effective. However, the experimental class achieved a higher N-gain score of 69% compared to the control class, which scored 63. This difference can be attributed to the varying treatments and instructional materials used during the learning process provided by the teacher to the students. The N-gain results demonstrate that the E-LKPD CPS, supported by live worksheets, is quite effective as a learning media to enhance students' HOTS capabilities. This is evidenced by statements regarding the implementation of the CPS learning model, which significantly supports the enhancement of cognitive abilities in students, particularly in higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) . The CPS learning model has a positive and significant impact on students' critical thinking abilities when solving HOTS questions. The belief that the CPS model is effective in improving HOTS cognitive skills and students' motivation to learn, and that this model is among the most superior compared to other learning models, is a true statement supported by evidence of its success . Learning Independence Outcomes The scores for students' attitudes toward learning independence were obtained from a questionnaire administered to 33 students. The learning independence attitude questionnaire consisted of 20 items using a 1-4 Likert scale. Both the experimental and control classes used the same questionnaire. however, there were differences in the implementation of teaching media and learning models. The control class employed conventional teaching models used by teachers, such as inquiry, discussion, and question-and-answer sessions, with instructional materials based on LKPD and printed modules available at the school. In contrast, the experimental class received different treatment, utilizing the ELKPD CPS as instructional material along with a learning model that aligned with the CPS syntax. The data obtained from the learning independence attitude questionnaire for both classes can be seen in Table 10. Table 10.

In contrast, the control class also experienced an improvement compared to their pretest scores, with a posttest mean of 74. Although the difference in scores from the questionnaire reflecting students' attitudes toward learning independence between the experimental and control classes is not very significant, overall, the treatment involving the use of the E-LKPD CPS effectively enhances students' attitudes toward learning independence compared to not using the E-LKPD CPS. The pretest and posttest data from the learning independence attitude questionnaire were then analyzed using the N-gain test. The N-gain test aims to determine the improvement in students' attitudes toward learning independence. The recap of students' learning independence scores can be seen in Table 11. Table 11.

However, the experimental class achieved a higher N-gain score 28% compared to the control class, which had a score of 67. This difference arises from the varied treatment applied during the learning process provided by the teacher to the students. The Ngain test results demonstrate that the E-LKPD CPS, supported by live worksheets, is quite effective as a learning medium for enhancing students' attitudes toward learning independence. The effectiveness of using the E-LKPD to enhance students' attitudes toward learning independence is evidenced by a statement indicating that the increase in students' learning independence after participating in lessons using multimedia-based E-LKPD falls within the medium category of standard gain . StudentsAo Responses Student responses to the E-LKPD CPS learning medium are an important aspect of product effectiveness as perceived by users. The mean of student responses to the developed and implemented DOI: 10. 26737/jipf. JIPF. Vol. 10 No. May 2025 E-LKPD CPS in the learning activities for high school students (SMA/MA) is 91. 33%, categorized as very good. This data indicates that students had a favorable and positive response during the use of the E-LKPD with the CPS learning model, which aimed to enhance HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skill. and promote independent learning attitudes on the topics of wave motion and stationary waves. More detailed data on student responses can be found in Table 12 below. Table 12. StudentsAo Response on E-LKPD CPS Aspects Mean (%) Content Presentation Language Mean 91,33 % Category Very Good Very Good Very Good Very Good This is very much in line with the data in Table 12, which shows that each aspect received a positive response, categorized as very good. The content within the E-LKPD CPS significantly influences student responses, with case study topics presented based on real-life phenomena in their This relevance stimulates students' motivation, allowing them to grasp the meaning of the concepts being studied in a real-world context. The increase in student motivation naturally impacts their engagement in the learning process, directly honing their Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in physics. Although the E-LKPD CPS product serves as an engaging learning medium that captures students' interest, teachers should remain mindful that not all students are comfortable using technology to express their ideas or as a learning resource. Some students may feel that the E-LKPD CPS does not enhance their HOTS and independent learning skills. Therefore, when such situations arise, the teacher's role should be flexible to seek alternative solutions to ensure that the learning objectives are In reality, students can learn through various methods to achieve their learning goals. CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION Based on the data collection results, analysis, and discussions presented in the development of the ELKPD CPS product aimed at enhancing HOTS and independent learning attitudes among 11th-grade students in SMA/MA on the topics of progressive and stationary waves, the conclusions drawn are that the product is valid and can be effectively utilized. The developed E-LKPD CPS, created through the Live Worksheet website, has been evaluated as valid and suitable for implementation among students, both in classroom learning and individual study outside the classroom. This suitability is supported by data obtained from assessments by material and media validators. The assessment results from the material expert validator indicate a score of 97. 47%, categorized as highly valid, while the assessment from the media expert validator yielded a score of 95. 48%, also classified as highly valid. The developed E-LKPD CPS, created through the Live Worksheet website, has been assessed as practical for use in teaching and learning activities in the classroom as well as for independent study outside the This practicality is evidenced by user assessment data collected during implementation, which shows a score of 84. 08%, categorized as good or practical. The developed E-LKPD CPS has been assessed as effective in enhancing students' Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). This effectiveness is supported by the N-gain score of 70. 69%, categorized as moderately effective. comparison, the control class, which did not utilize the E-LKPD CPS learning media, achieved an Ngain score of 63. 76%, also categorized as moderately effective, but still lower than that of the experimental class. Regarding self-directed learning attitudes, the experimental class recorded an effectiveness score of 74. 28%, while the control class scored 67. The difference in scores between the two classes indicates no significant impact on students' self-directed learning attitudes. Additionally, students' responses to the developed E-LKPD CPS were rated as very good, with an Ngain score of 91.
