<p>Students need to be equipped with high order thinking skill in order to prepare them with future world. Eventhough variety of programs on teaching high order thinking skills has been implemented formally in schools in Malaysia and also placed in the school curriculum, the results are not to the satisfactory.  This research is proposing a suitable educational tool which can  increase higher thinking skills among students. Keeping in mind that learning is a conceptualized multidimensional development involving three components: cognitive learning achievement, meta-cognition and motivation, an educational game with Meta-cognitive activity is proposed.  An animated puzzle game that adapts acitivities that enables to nurture meta-cognitive skills has been developed and tested.  Heuristic testing and functionality testing has been done towards the project prototype and positive results has been obtained.  An enhancement of prototype will embark a new perspective of educational mechanism and could improve students higher order thinking skills capability.</p>

In the current study, the researchers analyzed the units of the textbook “That’s Right” for 10th grade students for English teaching in Israel. The study examined the WH- questions found in the textbook according to the various cognitive levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy.  By using Bloom's taxonomy, the researchers attempted to understand whether WH-questions used in the textbook emphasize high-level thinking and cognitive skills development. The question of this study is: To what extent do the WH-questions in the textbook “That’s Right” emphasize higher order thinking skills? Content analysis was performed for the questions for five study units in the textbook. The question served as the unit of analysis for this research. A WH-question is defined as a question beginning with a WH-word and ending with a question mark. The questions were collected, listed, and analyzed according to Bloom's taxonomy, according to which thinking skills are divided into low and high orders. Low order thinking skills are knowledge, comprehension, and application. High order thinking skills are: analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Percentages and frequencies of each cognition level were calculated for each book unit separately and for all the units combined. Validation and reliability checks were performed to validate this study. The results showed that 245 out of the 324 questions emphasized cognition levels that develop lower order thinking skills, while only 79 questions emphasized the three levels that use high order thinking skills. The textbook "That’s Right" questions place most emphasis on comprehension and knowledge, which are both connected to lower order thinking skills. This may result in lower cognitive abilities among students and should be further investigated to create better language skills in future generations. Additional studies of English textbooks at various age levels using content analysis are recommended.  These studies will show which cognitive skills are developed in English materials and will improve future English education in Israel.

The High Order Thinking Skills Teaching (HOTS) has its own challenges and should be emphasized in the curriculum as it is one of the 21st century skills. HOTS is among the six main characteristics of the students who are the aspirations of the Ministry of Education to succeed globally. As such, pupils can enhance cognitive skills with the opportunities and spaces provided to convey views using more creative methods and not just memorizing such conventional methods. Hence, the researcher has conducted this study to find out application of Hots in the teaching of Moral education in primary schools (SJKT) in Seremban District. The design of this study is quantitative. To identify techniques and approaches used by descriptive analysis teachers were used to obtain frequency, percentage and mean. The sample of this study consisted of 148 teachers from 15 national schools in Seremban District, Negeri Sembilan. The data of this study were obtained using the questionnaire which was developed by the researcher.

The background of the research is the low assessment of high order thinking skills of students due to the conventional methods used by the school. The aims of this study are: (1) how student learning activities when using hybrid learning Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) and jigsaw, (2) how student learning activities when taught using the direct learning model, and (3) the effect of hybrid learning Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) and jigsaw towards high order thinking skills. This study used a quasi experimental nonequivalent control group design with the sample of 50 students from a population of vocational high school students in Ponorogo. Data collection techniques used instruments in the form of high order tests and non-test instruments in the form of observation sheets. Data analysis used was independent sample t-test. The results showed: (1) the use of Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) based on hybrid learning and jigsaw made 28% of students were very active, 28% of students active, and 44% of students quite active in the learning process, this was evidenced by an average value of 70.56, (2) the use of direct learning models in learning made 24% of students quite active, 36% of students less active, and 40% of students passive in the learning process, which can be seen from the acquisition of an average value of 51.52, and (3) there was a significant effect of Student Learning Achievement Division (STAD) based on hybrid learning and jigsaw on students' high order thinking skills.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menunjukkan bahwa kemandirian belajar, kebiasaan berpikir, dan kreativitas dapat dijadikan sebagai prediktor terhadap kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan bentuk penelitiannya berupa penelitian ex post facto. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah teknik pengukuran dan komunikasi tidak langsung sehingga alat pengumpul data yang digunakan adalah tes HOTS dan angket. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh mahasiswa semester I program studi pendidikan matematika IKIP PGRI Pontianak. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan teknik cluster random sampling dan diperoleh satu kelas sebagai sampel penelitian dengan jumlah mahasiswa sebanyak 30 orang. Teknik analisis data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan statistik inferensial, regresi berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: kemandirian belajar dapat dijadikan prediktor terhadap HOTS, kebiasaan berpikir dapat dijadikan prediktor terhadap HOTS, kreativitas dapat dijadikan prediktor terhadap HOTS, dan kemandirian belajar, kebiasaan berpikir, dan kreativitas secara simultan dapat dijadikan sebagai prediktor terhadap HOTS. Selain itu, hasil penelitian ini juga menunjukkan bahwa yang dapat mempengaruhi HOTS tidak hanya model atau strategi pembelajaran saja, tetapi ada variabel lain yang bisa berpengaruh terhadap HOTS seperti kemandirian belajar, kebiasaan berpikir, dan kreativitas.   AbstractThe purpose of this research was to show that self regulated learning, habit of mind, and creativity could be used as predictors of high order thinking skills (HOTS). This research used quantitative method, ex post facto research. Data collection techniques used measurement and indirect communication techniques and data collection tool that used was HOTS test and questionnaire. The population were all undergraduate students of the first semester of mathematics education study program IKIP PGRI Pontianak. The sample of this research was taken by using the random cluster sampling technique and one class was obtained as a research sample with 30 students. Data analysis techniques in this study used inferential statistics, multiple regression. Based on the result of research, it was found that: self regulated learning could be a predictor of HOTS, habits of mind could be predictor of HOTS, creativity could be predictor of HOTS, and self regulated learning, habit of mind, and creativity simultaneously could be used as predictors of HOTS. The results of this study also indicated that the influence of HOTS was not only the model or learning strategy used but there were other variables like self regulated learning, habit of mind, and creativity.
