<p><strong>Abstract:</strong> Thematic learning carried out in elementary schools has not trained students' high-level thinking skills as a whole due to the use of learning models that tend to be monotonous and make students bored. This study aims to determine the effect of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model on HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skillls). The research method used is quantitative experiments with the design of nonequivalent group design. The results showed that the teacher's implementation was sufficient in accordance with the syntax of the PBL learning model so that it could influence HOTS students. The difference in HOTS scores between the two classes is indicated by the average post-test scores. The use of PBL models should be implemented for students to be able to train HOTS students.</p><strong>Abstrak:</strong><em> </em>Pembelajaran tematik yang dilaksanakan di SD belum melatihkan kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi siswa secara keseluruhan dikarenakan penggunaan model pembelajaran yang cenderung monoton dan membuat siswa jenuh. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh model <em>Problem Based Learning </em>terhadap <em>Higher Order Thinking Skillls</em>. Metode penelitian yang digunakan yaitu kuantitatif eksperimen dengan desain <em>nonequivalent group design. </em>Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa keterlaksanaan guru sudah cukup sesuai dengan sintaks model pembelajaran <em>PBL</em> sehingga dapat berpengaruh terhadap HOTS siswa.

Scientific Approach

Higher Order Thinking as one of the main agendas in the Curriculum 2013 introduces several learning approaches – one of which is scientific approach. However, so far, the majority of English teachers in Indonesia still face some challenges due to their insufficient knowledge and experience in implementing this approach. This paper presents a research report on strategies of promoting higher order thinking skills (HOTS) in EFL young adolescents’ classroom through scientific approach. It aimed to investigate how HOTS was promoted in the EFL classroom, identify benefits gained by the teacher and the students from the implemented approach, and find out teacher’s challenges and solutions from the teaching practice. This study employed a case study involving a class of seventh grade students as research participants. To collect data, three instruments were used such as classroom observation, interview with the teacher and the students, and document analysis. The findings revealed that scientific approach with its components (observing, questioning, associating, exploring, and communicating) may promote students’ HOTS as seen from their enthusiasm and active participation in the classroom. The students also focused more on showing ideas, arguments, and views toward the questions from other groups as proved by their statements in the interview claiming that they were trained to do analysis, evaluation, and creation through learning activities. Meanwhile, the teacher stated that her challenges in teaching dealt with her limited experience and knowledge to implement this approach. To overcome them, she committed to join professional development programs and improve her linguistic skills.   Keywords:  EFL Classroom, Higher Order Thinking Skills, Scientific Approach, The Curriculum 2013, Young Adolescents
