Higher order thinking skill (HOTS) is one of the students’ abilities that should be developed through teaching and learning. Teachers’ knowledge about HOTS and its teaching and learning tactics is a key to successful education. The purpose of this research is to describe teachers’ knowledge about higher order thinking skills (HOTS). The research involves qualitative study with the phenomenological approach. The research participants are 27 mathematics teachers from state and private junior high schools across 7 provinces in Indonesia. The researcher collected data with a test followed by focus group discussion (FGD) and interviews. The analysis of data involved Bogdan & Biklen model and descriptive statistics for data from the test. The analysis of FGD, and test data intends to get information on 6 sub-themes; teachers’ knowledge about HOTS, importance of HOTS, teaching about HOTS to students, improving students’ HOTS, measuring and assessing HOTS, and teachers’ ability for solving HOTS-based problems. The results indicate that teachers’ knowledge about HOTS, their ability to improve students’ HOTS, solve HOTS-based problems, and measure students' HOTS is still low. There are facts, however, that teachers already understand the importance of HOTS and teaching it by using various innovative learning models. Keywords: HOTS, measurement and assessment, teachers’ knowledge, teaching and learning

Questions serve as an element that can be used to access and stimulate students’ thinking ability. This research aimed at analyzing the students’ ability to pose Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) questions during the learning process. This research was a survey research using a descriptive quantitative approach. The samples used in the research were biology education students of UIN Alauddin Makassar and Universitas Muslim Maros, South Sulawesi with the total of 92 students. The instrument used in this research was an observation sheet of questioning skills for the biology pre-service teachers. The results of this research showed that the implementations of RQA, ADI, and RQA integrated with ADI learning strategies were dominated with HOTS questions, while the learning using the conventional learning strategy was dominated with the Lower-Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) questions. The percentages of the HOTS questions in the learning using RQA, ADI, RQA integrated with ADI, and the conventional learning strategy were 60.53%, 55.71%, 64.91%, and 19.35% respectively.  This finding indicates that the RQA integrated with ADI strategy contributes the significant impact in stimulating students’ ability in posing HOTS questions in the classroom.

Outcomes Based Education

Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) brought about a significant paradigm shift in the education and training of learners in South Africa. OBE requires a shift from focusing on the teacher input (instruction offerings or syllabuses expressed in terms of content), to focusing on learner outcomes. OBE is moving away from ‘transmission’ models to constructivistic, learner-centered models that put emphasis on learning as an active process (Nieburh, 1996:30). Teachers act as facilitators and mediators of learning (Norms and Standards, Government Gazette vol 415, no 20844 of 2000). Facilitators are responsible to create the environment that is conducive for learners to construct their own knowledge, skills and values through interaction (Peters, 2000). The first critical cross-field outcome accepted by the South African Qualification Framework (SAQA) is that learners should be able to identify and solve problems by using critical and creative thinking skills. This paper seeks to explore some higher order thinking skills competencies required by OBE from learners such as critical thinking, reflective thinking, creative thinking, dialogic / dialectic thinking, decision making, problem solving and emotional intelligence and their implications in facilitating teaching and learning from the theoretical perspective. The philosophical underpinning of these higher order thinking skills is described to give direction to the study. It is recommended that a study focusing on the assessment of these intellectual concepts be made. The study may be qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods in nature (Creswell 2005).

<p><strong>Abstract:</strong> This research is research that have purpose to describe students’ cognitive loads in mathematic learning oriented to <em>Higher Order Thinking Skills</em> (HOTS). Research method that is used in this research is descriptive qualitative. The results showed that the intrinsic cognitive loads were caused by students’  difficulties in finding concept of integral, students’ difficulties in doing operation of  algebraic form, students’ difficulties in solving HOTS problems at level of analyzing, evaluating and creating. Extraneous cognitive loads were caused by using local language that is used by teacher for giving information, time alocation for doing discussion was too short, noise during the discussion and teacher give explanation fastly. Germane cognitive loads were caused by the use of technology in learning such as PowerPoint slides, Google for Education and the internet for accessing to online learning resources, and the existence of asking questions that stimulate students’ HOTS and group discussion.</p><strong>Abstrak:</strong><em> </em>Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian yang bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan beban kognitif siswa dalam pembelajaran matematika yang berorientasi pada <em>Higher Order Thinking Skills</em> (HOTS). Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif deskriptif.  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa beban kognitif intrinsik disebabkan oleh kesulitan siswa dalam menemukan konsep integral, kesulitan siswa dalam melakukan operasi bentuk aljabar, kesulitan siswa dalam menyelesaikan soal HOTS pada level menganalisis, mengevaluasi, dan mengkreasi. Beban kognitif <em>extraneous </em>disebabkan oleh penggunaan bahasa daerah yang digunakan guru dalam menyampaikan informasi, alokasi waktu untuk berdiskusi yang cukup singkat, kegaduhan saat diskusi berlangsung, dan guru memberikan penjelasan dengan cepat. Beban kognitif <em>germane</em> disebabkan penggunaan teknologi dalam pembelajaran, misalnya <em>slide powerpoint,</em> <em>Google for Education </em>dan internet untuk akses sumber belajar <em>online</em>, serta adanya pengajuan pertanyaan yang menstimulasi HOTS siswa dan diskusi kelompok.

Contemporary educational approaches which enculturate higher order thinking skills (HOTSs) through teaching and learning have become the latest trend in teaching. Knowledge clarity, understanding mastery, and teaching readiness are the catalysts for successfully implementing HOTS elements in teaching. However, even though HOTS learning is inextricably linked to metacognitive skills, teachers frequently underutilize metacognitive skills as an effective method of teaching HOTSs. Therefore, teachers face difficulties regarding their skills in integrating HOTSs into their teaching. Numerous studies on HOTS teaching and learning modules to guide teachers in applying these have been conducted; however, only a few researchers have conducted systematic literature reviews on the same subject. This article aims to produce a systematic literature review on the elements of a metacognition-based HOTSs teaching and learning module. The systematic literature review (SLR) writing process was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis) framework. Using 2 databases, namely, Web of Sciences (WoS) and Scopus, 15 articles were extracted out of 252, from 2017 to 2021, with exclusion and inclusion criteria taken into consideration. Based on the study’s thematic analysis, 3 main themes were identified: (1) HOTS, (2) metacognitive, and (3) inquiry. This study suggests that these three elements should be included in the contribution element of metacognition-based HOTSs teaching modules in school. This study contributes knowledge and guidelines to the construction of metacognition-based HOTSs teaching modules in schools, teachers’ preparedness to plan, monitor, and evaluate students’ higher order thinking skills, and opportunities for students to learn through HOTSs learning elements, as suggested in metacognition-based HOTS teaching modules.
