This study aims to present ways of implementing inquiry- learning model with the use of scientific reports to improve teachers’ understanding and ability on teaching biology at secondary level. The quantitative research method is quasi-experiment design with pre-test and post-test control group. The research instrument for collecting data of students’ higher order thinking skills is scoring rubrics for assessing abilities on developing and presenting a scientific report. The instruments for assessing teachers’ skills are teacher observation sheets over inquiry-based learning scientific report using an induction method. The research subjects consist of 4 biology teachers and 80 of grade 10 students from Public Secondary School 3 Samarinda.The teachers are all female; while from 80 students, 53 of them are female and the rest 27 are male. The students’ age ranges from 16 to 18 years old. The research lasted for 1 month.Analysis of data uses t test, that if toutcome is higher than ttable, the inquiry-based learning model using scientific reports does affect students’ higher order thinking skills. Data analysis is composed in tabulation format with several graded categories: inadequate, sufficient, good and excellent. The result of the study is that higher order thinking skills of students are increasing in numbers and more equal compared with classes taught by teachers who did not follow the inquiry-based learning model workshop and presentation. The inquiry-based learning model was applied via preparation and presentations of scientific reports after the students carry out practical activities through the guidance of student activity worksheets.

This study investigates the effect of inquiry-based learning with socio-scientific issues on students' higher-order thinking skills in the first year based on chemistry topics. This study used a quasi-experiment design as a method. A sample of 96 students in three classes was selected and was divided into two groups. An experimental group used two classes (68 students) that received the instruction by inquiry-based learning with socio-scientific issues, while the control group (28 students) received instruction using verification learning. The data were collected using pretest and post-test. The results were analyzed using SPSS 16.0 for windows software by employing ANOVA and effect size. This study showed that the experimental groups have a higher score in Higher Order Thinking Skills than the control group students, and there was a significant difference between the experimental groups and the control group with a large effect size. Thus, this study concluded that inquiry-based learning with socio-scientific issues helps conduct the classroom's learning strategies to improve students' higher-order thinking skills.

The 2013 curriculum currently implemented in Indonesia is one of government attention to the educational world. One of the objectives of the curriculum implementation is the application of learning that is able to improve students' thinking skills which is generally called as higher order thinking skills (HOTS). However, conventional learning that is commonly implemented in Indonesia has not been able to meet the educational objectives. To solve these problems, a relevant learning model is required to improve students learning outcomes based on higher order thinking skills (HOTS). One of the appropriate learning models to solve this issue is the hands on activities investigation group learning model. This model is a learning model with a learning concept in which students are required to play a very active role in building their own knowledge through experiences encountered in groups that will be able to improve student learning outcomes based on higher order thinking skills. This article aimed to explain the ability of group investigation learning model based on hands activities in improving students learning outcomes based on higher order thinking skills. This research was quantitative research with experimental methods. The sample of this study was class X pis student of SMA Negeri 2 Pematangsiantar.  The results showed that group investigation learning model based on hands on activities was able to improve learning outcomes based on higher order thinking skills of students at SMA Negeri 2 Pematangsiantar.

The atomic structure material has certain characteristics and difficulties, including the need for a lot of knowledge and analytical skills that students have. Therefore, students need to be given the right learning model in order to increase their interest and learning activities.The learning model that can be done is to carry out learning by applying a cooperative approach, one of which is the Team Game Tournament (TGT) type. The effectiveness of using the TGT model can be increased by providing question cards media. The question card media used in this study is a card containing Higher Order Thinking Skill (HOTS) questions that require students' higher order thinking skills.The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of using the TGT type cooperative learning model with the help of HOTS-based question card media on atomic structure material on higher-order thinking skills and student learning outcomes of physics education.Based on the results of research and calculations, it can be concluded that the provision of question card media in the TGT model on the atomic structure material is effective on student learning outcomes with Sig values. (0.028) <0.05, then there is a difference in learning outcomes so that it can be concluded that the experimental class is more effective than the control class. Supported by the highest lowest scores in the experimental group, namely 75 and 100 with an average of 90.02, while the control group was 65 and 100 with an average of 84.2.
