<p style="text-align: justify;">This research aimed to develop a historical thinking assessment for students' skills in analyzing the causality of historical events. The development process of Gall and colleagues and Rasch analysis models were used to develop an assessment instrument consisting of two processes, including the analysis of the framework of cause and consequence, the validity, reliability, and difficultness test. This research involved 150 senior high school students, with data collected using the validation sheet, tests, and scoring rubric. The results were in the form of an essay test consisting of six indicators of analyzing cause and consequence. The instruments were valid, reliable, and suitable for assessing students’ skills in analyzing the causality of historical events. The developed instruments were paired with a historical thinking skills assessment to improve the accuracy of the information about students' level of historical thinking skills in the learning history.</p>

Basic Competence (BC) is a minimum students’ achievement after learning process. Most of the BC in the 2017 revised Indonesian curriculum requires students to have higher order thinking skills (HOTS), therefore teachers have to prepare assessment instruments referring HOTS. However, there are still many teachers who misperceive HOTS and think that HOTS is a difficult problem. This causes the teacher’s understanding of HOTS questions to be low. This study aims to describe chemistry teachers’ competence in evaluating HOTS of students. 19 teachers from 14 Senior High Schools was examined using structured essay test to figure out their ability and problems in compiling HOTS assessment instrument. The data collected was analysed using Miles Huberman methods starting with data reduction, data display and conclusion. Through this evaluation, it is known that only 10.53% of teachers comprehended HOTS and were able to apply it in evaluation, 57,89% of them understood the HOTS but weren’t able to apply in evaluation while 31,58% others didn’t know the comprehensive HOTS evaluation. This fact will certainly disrupt the planning, implementation and assessment of learning. Furthermore, the instrument compiled to assess higher order thinking skills based on BC does not measure expected abilities.

The designing of high school / Islamic high school physics comic teaching materials has been done to improve students' critical thinking skills in Newton's Law material. The purpose of this research is to determine to develop a physics comic for high school / Islamic high school based on problem-based learning (PBL) to improve the creative thinking skills of students at MAN Sebukar. The research method used is the research and development method, namely the 4D development method which consists of 4 phases: defining, designing, developing and disseminating. At the defining stage, need analysis on curriculum, students, and materials were carried out. The designing stage was done by designing high school / Islamic high school physics comics based on problem based learning to improve students' creative thinking skills. At the developing stage, validity, practicality and effectiveness tests were carried out. Furthermore, the disseminating stage also carried out the practicality and effectiveness tests. At the defining stage, the analysis on results of the students’ score showed the low acquisition of students competencies is due to the low creative thinking skills of students, so a teaching material is designed that is in accordance with the student's needs, materials, and learning objectives that is expected to improve students’ learning competence, namely physics comics for senior high school students/Islamic senior high school students. Furthermore, at the designing stage, an initial draft of PBL-based for / Islamic high school physics comics was made in accordance with the curriculum used in the school where the research was conducted. And in the next stage, namely the developing stage, the analysis results were obtained from the development of physics comics for high school / Islamic high school which have valid (0.85), practical (94.67%), and effective criteria for skill assessment that are judges as very good category. And the final stage after developing stage, namely the disseminating stage, researchers carried out practicality and effectiveness tests in different classes and the practicality test results were obtained in the very practical category, namely 94.33% from students’ response questionnaires and effectiveness test results from the assessment of students knowledge with a percentage of completeness reaching 82.33. % in the very good category, the students' attitude competency reached an average score of 87.43% in the very good category, the skills competency reached an average score of 89.17% with the very good category. The designing of PBL-based high school / Islamic high school physics comics is able to improve students' creative thinking skill since it eventually gives impact on students’ scores.

Abstract This research is based on the lack of students' ability to answer the Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) questions. This is shown from the survey results of TIMSS in 2015 which stated that Indonesia ranked 45 of 50 countries. Furthermore, the survey results of the PISA in 2015 showed that Indonesia's mathematical competence was 386 points of 600 points with a rating of 64 from 72 countries, therefore, to improving HOTS a Problem Based Learning model is needed (Rahmawati, 2016). The purpose of this study is to describe the process and results of the development of learning equipment used Problem Based Learning model in sequences and series material to improve HOTS of senior high school students. The type of this research is developmental research that uses the Plomp’s Development model which consists of preliminary investigation phase, design phase, realization phase, and test, evaluation and revision phase. The research instrument used was a learning equipment validation sheet, an observation sheet of learning implementation, an assessment sheet, and a student questionnaire response sheet. This learning tools was tested to 32 students of XI MIPA-3 class at SMAN 1 Sidoarjo. The results of these development equipment are categorized very well (which is shown by the an average value of 4.30 for lesson plan, 4.28 for student’s worksheet, 4.25 for assessment sheet range from 5.00), practical (which is shown by the average rating of the validator is a little revision and the implementation of learning in the excellent category with an average of 3.71), and effective (classical succeed is reached, Learning Outcome II is higher than Learning Outcome I, and student scores on HOTS questions number 1 on Test II is higher than score number 1(b) on Test I, and student response is positive). So, the learning equipment used Problem Based Learning model in sequences and series can improve HOTS of Senior High School students. Keywords: Problem Based Learning, Higher Order Thinking Skills

This research aims to identify class XI MIPA1 senior high school students, who experience misconceptions on the kinetic theory of gas. The method used to determine students who experience misconceptions is the Certainty Response Index (IRK) method. This method has four indexes in identifying students' mastery of concepts, namely lucky guess (LG), not knowing concept (NKC/TTK), knowing concept (KC/TK), and misconception (M). The subjects of the study were senior high school students in class XI MIPA1 in Tasik Malaya. The research instrument used was a kinetic theory of gas test equipped with an IRK scale assessment instrument. This research is a quantitative descriptive research that can determine weaknesses in understanding students' physics concepts with the IRK method. The results of data analysis using IRK revealed that students who experienced lucky guess (LG) were 9.0%, students who knew the concept (TK) were 35.2%, students who lacked knowledge or did not know the concept (TTK) were 21.9%, and students experiencing misconceptions (M) of 33.8%. Based on the sub-topic analysis, the level of misconception the results are also in the high category. Thus it was concluded that through the IRK method it was identified that most students were still experiencing misconceptions, did not know the concepts, and were lucky guessed in understanding the kinetic theory of gas in the class XI MIPA1 of senior high school in Tasik Malaya.
