Abstract
The implementation of learning in vocational education has not been optimal in improving students^ higher order thinking skills. One of the causes is the lack of use of complete, independent and guided teaching materials in the learning process, namely the learning module. The purpose of this research is to develop a HOTS-Based Learning Module with Mini Project Design in Engineering Education. The research method used is R&D development research with a quasi-experimental design and a 4-D (Four-D) development model, which consists of four main stages, namely definition, planning, development and dissemination. The research design uses one group time series. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the design of the media and materials was valid in terms of didactic, construction and technical aspects as well as in terms of the quality of content, and learning. This learning module is also included in the practical category based on the lecturer^s response from the aspect of convenience 84%, time effectiveness 80% and media use 80%, based on student responses from the aspect of time effectiveness 83%, convenience 83.6% and media usability 80.9%. Based on the assessment of student learning outcomes from the pretest and posttest, it was found that there were differences in student learning outcomes before and after using the module using the SPSS t-test application, with the Pvalue 0.05, this explains that the learning module is effective for improving student learning outcomes. So it can be concluded that this learning module is valid, practical and effective to be applied in learning
