We discuss the interpretation of the concept of “learning outcomes”. Theoretical analysis widely represents the interpretations of the learning outcomes of a high school student: academic skills: understanding, application of knowledge to solve problems, synthesis, analysis and evaluation; basic skills and basic knowledge, and skills of a higher order and advanced knowledge; skills of a higher order represented as a system of critical thinking, analytic reasoning, problem solving and written communication; wide abilities interpreted as verbal, quantitative and spatial thinking, understanding, problem solving and decision making. We conclude that each considered approach distinguishes meta-subjective skills, i.e. skills to interact with the quality of information regardless of the context. The ability to measure the meta-skills is discussed on an example of the “Collegiate learning assessment”, realized in the United States.

Abstract: This research relates to the implementation of Problem Solving model in Banyu Landas Elementary School. The research objective is to increase students’ Higher Order Thingking Skills (HOTS). The research was conducted by using classroom action research (CAR) method through 2 cycles. Ten six class students of SDN Banyu Landas were used as research subject. The data collection used obeservation sheets and HOT oriented achievement test. The data were qualitatively analyzed with percentage technique. The result of research stated that (1) students’ Higher Order Thingking Skills (HOTS) increased from analysis skills 77,85% in the first cycle up to  synthesys skills 86,58% in the end of second cycle (2) the quality of teacher’s activity increased  from 58,41% in the first cycle  up to 71,14% in the end of second cycle; (2) students’ activity incresed  from 68,39% in the first cycle  up to 70,10% in the end of second cycle.              Keywords: Higher Order Thinking Skills, teacher activity, student activity , Problem Solving. Abstrak: Penelitian ini berkenaan dengan penerapan model Problem Solving di SDN Banyu Landas. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir tingkt tinggi (Higher Order Thingking Skill/HOT) siswa. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan rancangan penelitian tindakan kelas dalam 2 siklus. Subyek penelitian adalah 10 orang siswa kelas VI SDN Banyu Landas. Pengumpulan data menggunakan lembar observasi dan tes hasil belajar berorientasi HOT. Data dianalisis secara kualitatif dengan teknik persentase. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: (1) kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi (Higher Order Thingking Skill/HOT) peserta didik meningkat dari kemampuan analisis 77,85% pada awal siklus I menjadi kemampuan sintesis 86,58% pada akhir siklus II kualitas, (2) aktivitas guru meningkat dari 58,41% pada siklus 1 menjadi menjadi 71,14%  pada siklus 2; (2) aktivitas siswa meningkat dari 68,39% pada siklus 1 menjadi 70,10% pada siklus II. Kata kunci: HOT (Higher Order Thinking) skills, aktivitas guru, aktivitas siswa, Problem Solving

AbstrakSecara umum capaian ketrampilan berpikir tingkat tinggi peserta didik masih rendah dibanding negara lain. Untuk mengembangkan keterampilan berpikir  tingkat  tinggi, pendidik dituntut untuk menciptakan suasana belajar yang  mendukung  dan  menggunakan   strategi pembelajaran. Upaya meningkatkan ketrampilan berpikir peserta didik dapat dilakukan dengan meningkatkan ketrampilan metakognisinya. Ada berbagai jenis strategi metakognitif yang dapat dipilih pendidik, satu diantaranya menggunakan strategi pemecahan masalah (problem solving). Dalam proses pemecahan masalah, individu menggunakan kedua kemampuan kognitif dan keterampilan praktis, yang meliputi kegiatan metakognitif seperti analisis, sintesis dan evaluasi. Pembelajaran  berbasis masalah merupakan pendekatan pembelajaran yang digunakan untuk merangsang berpikir tingkat tinggi siswa dalam situasi yang berorientasi pada masalah yang nyata, termasuk di dalamnya belajar bagaimana belajar. AbstractIn general, higher order thinking skills achievements of learners is still low compared to other countries. To develop higher order thinking skills, educators are required to create a learning atmosphere that supports and use learning strategies. Efforts to improve thinking skills that learners can do to improve metacognitive skills. There are different types of metacognitive strategies that can be selected educators, one of which uses problem solving strategies. In the process of solving problems, individuals using both cognitive abilities and practical skills, which include metacognitive activities such as analysis, synthesis and evaluation. Problem-based learning is an instructional approach used to stimulate students' higher order thinking in situations oriented real problems, including learning how to learn.

This chapter discuss how Problem-Based learning (PBL) helps to achieve this century's approach to teaching and learning for students in higher educational institutions. If adopted, this method of teaching will enable student to attain learning skills (skills, abilities, problem solving, and learning dispositions that have been identified) to acquire a lifelong habit of approaching problems with initiative and diligence and a drive to acquire the knowledge and skills needed for an effective resolution. And they will develop a systematic approach to solving real-life problems using higher-order skills.

Systems thinking has been an educational priority for more than a decade, yet its related assessment and teaching strategies have been understudied in the chemistry education research community. Through the lens of systems thinking, this study explores how undergraduate students connect and translate their conceptual representations when they are involved in contextualised problem-solving. The ‘Contextualised Problem Solving’ (CPS) assessment instrument contains four open-ended questions about gas law. Three different cohorts of students registered in a physical science course (2016 Fall, 2017 Spring, 2017 Fall semesters) participated in the problem-solving component of CPS. The results showed that only 8% of students were capable of higher order systems thinking ability when they engaged in problem solving. Over half of the students failed to retrieve essential concepts in problem situations. Most of the participants demonstrated difficulties in organising related systems’ components, understanding the cyclic nature of relationships among systems, and identifying limitations in a specific problem context. By identifying the difficulties and challenges of systems thinking experienced by undergraduate students in solving complex chemistry problems, these findings have the potential to provide fresh insights into effective teaching strategies to promote students’ higher order thinking skills.
