This study aims to determine the influence of the problem solving model on the ability of fifth grade students in elementary schools to solve HOTS questions in the subject of science on magnetism, electricity, and technology for life. The problem solving model is a learning model that invites students to actively participate in learning activities. This study was conducted using a quantitative method with an experimental research type. The research design used Quasi Experimental Design with a one group test method. The subjects of the study were all fifth grade students of SDN 30/I Pulau Betung. The collection of research data was obtained through tests before treatment (pre-test) and after treatment (post-test). The data that had been collected was then analyzed using a paired sample t-test. The results of the study showed that the problem solving learning model had an effect on the ability to solve HOTS questions in students. With the results of the test before treatment (pre-test) obtaining an average score of 37.60, and the test after treatment (post-test) obtaining an average score of 72.20. This proves that there is an increase in students' ability to solve HOTS questions by using the problem solving learning model in science subjects. From the research results, it can be concluded that the use of the problem solving learning model has an impact on students' ability to solve HOTS questions in the science subject in grade V at SDN 30/I Pulau Betung.
