The reason underlying the implementation of the present study was because there was a finding revealing that there were still several students from cross-economics class of XI MIPA having difficulties in understanding the lessons. In addition, the students also had a kind of thought that economics was just about memorizing things which was not interesting and challenging that resulted in their unsatisfied learning outcomes. Therefore, the SIM-OVG model needed to be implemented in the learning process. The instruments of the present study were observation and, students’ learning reports and work method. The population of the study was the second grade students (4 classes) who enrolled economics subject at SMA Negeri 10 Samarinda, whereas the samples of the study were the students of XI MIPA-1 class (cross-economics class) at SMA Negeri 10 Samarinda. The number of the population and samples was 101 and 23 students respectively. The study lasted for one semester. The description of the classroom observation, the students’ scores and the group presentation were obtained for the data analysis. After implementing the SIM-OVG model, the results showed that; 1) in the affective aspect, the students showed a better attitude, 2) in the cognitive aspect, there was an improvement on the students’ learning outcomes (before the implementation of SIM-OVG model in XI MIPA-1 class, 52,17% of the students did not reach the passing-grade, but after the implementation, 100% of the students reached the passing-grade, and they also looked enthusiastic in doing their assignments, and 3) in the psychomotor aspect, the students became more skillful, creative, and be able to perform high level thinking. The researcher suggested that the dissemination should be done through MGMP forum and SIM-OVG model workshop. In addition, the researcher also suggested the integration of SIM-OVG model with other learning models and hoped that every school provided adequate facilities to support the implementation of SIM-OVG model.

The National Education World is currently trying to improve the ability of its students to think critically and creatively. One of these efforts has been pursued through evaluations that also lead to critical reflection. This research is a descriptive analysis of the final semester evaluation questions that are examined from the point of view of high-level thinking [HOTS]. The reference to the HOTS criteria is that the researcher refers to the opinions of King and his friends. From the manuscript data, the issues examined are samples from the Bandung area. The results of the analysis show that 10 out of 15 HOTS ranges proposed by King are already included in the scripts made by the teachers. On the one hand, it shows the teacher's creativity in compiling questions. On the other hand, all these questions do not refer to the HOTS criteria as planned. Therefore, there is a need to increase teachers' skills in compiling scripts as HOTS. This increase can be done through teacher training.Keywords: Evaluation, HOTS, critical thinking and creativity thingking

In solving a problem, students will use a way to solve it but found students who have difficulty using this method and need other ways to solve it. This is because the level of thinking of each student is different and to solve a problem, students can use different methods, from which the researcher is inspired to use the open-ended approach to find out the profile of high-level thinking in moderate-ability vocational students. This research is a qualitative research that aims to determine the profile of high-level thinking of moderate-capable vocational students using the open-ended method. Dalam menyelesaikan suatu permasalahan, siswa akan menggunakan sebuah cara dalam penyelesaiannya namun  dijumpai  siswa yang kesulitan jika menggunakan cara tersebut dan membutuhkan cara lain agar bisa menyelesaikannya. Hal ini dikarenakan tingkat berfikir setiap siswa berbeda dan untuk memecahkan suatu permasalahan, siswa dapat menggunakan cara yang berbeda, dari hal tersebut peneliti terinspirasi untuk menggunakan metode pendekatan open-ended untuk mengetahui profil berpikir tingkat tinggi pada siswa SMK berkemampuan sedang. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui profil berpikir tingkat tinggi siswa SMK berkemampuan sedang dengan menggunakan metode open-ended.
