Abstract

ABSTRACT
This study aims to: produce a HOTS test of geometry that is valid, effective and practical to use in fifth grade elementary school. This research is a research and development type of formative evaluation that has been adapted from Tessmer which consists of two stages, namely- (1) preliminary stage, and (2) formative evaluation stage which includes self-evaluation and prototyping. The prototyping stage consisted of expert reviews, trial I, trial II, trial III and trial IV. The population in this study amounted to 312 fifth grade students from 16 elementary schools in cluster III, Tanjung Pura sub-district. While the sample in this study amounted to 92 fifth grade students from 4 elementary schools. The results showed that the HOTS test of geometry based on realistic mathematics education has been successfully developed from the aspects of validity, effectiveness and practicality as many as 15 questions consisting of 11 multiple choice questions and 4 essay questions. The test validity coefficient is 0.69 (high validity) and the test reliability coefficient is 0.81 (very high reliability). Effectively based on the achievement of learning objectives reaching 80%, classical completeness 88%, positive student responses reaching 85% and efficient learning time. Practically based on the assessment of experts who stated that the questions were feasible and could be used, the teacher^s response obtained an average score of 88.89% (practical).
