Rendahnya kemampuan berpikir kritis peserta didik pada mata pelajaran Matematika materi bangun datar di kelas V SD Negeri Lampeuneurut dipengaruhi oleh penggunaan bahan ajar yang belum mendorong keterampilan berpikir tingkat tinggi serta belum optimalnya pemanfaatan teknologi dalam pembelajaran. LKPD
digital berbasis Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) dipandang sebagai alternatif bahan ajar karena mampu memfasilitasi pengembangan kemampuan berpikir kritis peserta didik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan LKPD digital berbasis HOTS terhadap kemampuan berpikir kritis peserta didik.
Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode quasi eksperimen dan desain Non-Equivalent Control Group. Sampel penelitian terdiri atas 44 peserta didik, yaitu kelas VA sebagai kelas eksperimen dan kelas VB sebagai kelas kontrol. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui tes pretest dan posttest. Analisis data meliputi perhitungan N-Gain, uji normalitas, uji homogenitas, serta uji hipotesis menggunakan Independent Samples t-Test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata N-Gain kelas eksperimen lebih tinggi dibandingkan kelas kontrol dengan nilai signifikansi 0,001 < 0,05, sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa penggunaan LKPD digital berbasis HOTS berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kemampuan berpikir kritis peserta didik.

The low level of students’ critical thinking skills in Mathematics, particularly on plane geometry material in Grade V at SD Negeri Lampeuneurut, is influenced by instructional materials that have not fully promoted higher-order thinking skills and the limited use of technology in learning. HOTS-based digital student worksheets (LKPD) are considered an alternative instructional material as they facilitate the development of students’ critical thinking skills. This study aims to determine the effect of using HOTS-based digital LKPD on students’ critical thinking skills. The study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method using a Non-Equivalent Control Group design. The sample consisted of 44 students, with class VA as the experimental group and class VB as the control group. Data were collected through pretest and posttest assessments. Data analysis included NGain calculation, normality test, homogeneity test, and hypothesis testing using the Independent Samples t-Test. The results showed that the average N-Gain of the experimental class was higher than that of the control class, with a significance value of 0.001 < 0.05. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of HOTS-based digital LKPD has a significant effect on students’ critical thinking skills.
