This study aims to identify the challenges faced by teachers and the efforts made in the implementation of HOTS-based history learning. In this study, a qualitative method was used by taking research at the Lab School in Kebayoran Jakarta. The analysis was carried using Strauss & Corbin grounded theory approach. The results illustrate three interrelated things, namely the concept of HOTS used, implementation, and challenges faced by history teachers. This study shows that the difficulty faced by history teachers in teaching and learning history based on HOTS is that assessment has been carried out using the HOTS model. On the other hand, training in learning that supports HOTS has not been provided to teachers, many curriculum demands, teacher competencies/skills, lack of time in the learning process, and the learning design made by the teacher does not yet support HOTS. The efforts to answer these challenge can be overcome by (1) increasing teacher understanding/mastery of HOTS concepts, (2) the planning of learning devices arranged to suit the needs of students, and (3) during the implementation of learning using models that support HOTS namely inquiry learning.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi tantangan yang dihadapi guru dan upaya yang dilakukan dalam pelaksanaan pembelajaran sejarah berbasis HOTS. Dalam penelitian ini, metode kualitatif digunakan dengan mengambil penelitian di SMA Lab School Kebayoran Jakarta. Analisis dilakukan dengan menggunakan pendekatan teori ground Strauss & Corbin. Hasil penelitian menggambarkan tiga hal yang saling terkait, yaitu konsep HOTS yang digunakan, implementasi, dan tantangan yang dihadapi oleh guru sejarah. Studi ini menunjukkan bahwa kesulitan yang dihadapi oleh guru sejarah dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran sejarah berdasarkan HOTS adalah penilaian telah dilakukan dengan menggunakan model HOTS. Di sisi lain, pelatihan dalam pembelajaran yang mendukung HOTS belum diberikan kepada guru, banyak tuntutan kurikulum, kompetensi / keterampilan guru, kurangnya waktu dalam proses pembelajaran, dan desain pembelajaran yang dibuat oleh guru belum mendukung HOTS. Upaya menjawab tantangan ini dapat diatasi dengan (1) peningkatan pemahaman guru / penguasaan konsep HOTS, (2) perencanaan perangkat pembelajaran yang disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan siswa, dan (3) selama pelaksanaan pembelajaran menggunakan model yang mendukung HOTS yaitu pembelajaran inkuiri.

This study aims to determine the relevance of local history learning to increasing critical thinking skills. Today's critical thinking skills have become the main ability students must have, but the history learning application which still tends to focus on improving students' cognitive by requiring students to memorize historical facts, makes students not have the opportunity to think critically. The lack of discussion of local history is also a problem in itself for learning history, even though local history can help students find meaning in learning history by examining events that are close to the student's environment. This study used a quasi-experimental method with a two-group pretest and posttest design. The results obtained indicate that historical learning that integrates local history using a contextual teaching and learning approach can improve students' critical thinking skills, this can be proven by the t test which was carried out by obtaining a significance of 0.00 <0.05, meaning that there is a significant and positive influence on history learning. local to improve students' critical thinking skills.

"The history lesson is boring" is an assumption often raised by school students. Most history teachers still use lecture methods in class while there are many other methods that can be used to convey historical material. Based on the survey results of 8th grade students of SMPN 7 Depok thought that learning history would be more fun if using video animation and students also need animation video as one of the means of learning. 2.5D animated video created based on history lesson material for 8th grade students namely chapters Changes of Indonesian society during the colonial era and the growth of national spirit sub chapters of the arrival of the western nation. Assets of characters and background images are based on course material, are made in 2D using the image tracing method. The test is done by visual analog scale method. The test results show that the assets made in the form of characters and background make it easier for students to understand the material in the video.

This research is aimed at investigating the readiness of History subject teachers in teaching and learning with the help of i-Think mind maps at secondary schools in the district of Setiu, Terengganu. The amount of sample chosen is 59 History teachers from secondary schools which consists of trained teachers without taking into account their specialisation. As a whole, the research findings show that respondents have a high readiness level in implementing their teaching and learning process with the help of i-Think mind maps in secondary schools. The findings also show that there is a difference in teacher readiness between history teacher and non-history teacher and between those that went to courses and those who did not. Furthermore, there is a difference in the attitude, skill and usage level of i-Think mind maps in teachers that are experienced and those less experienced. However, research findings for experienced and less-experienced teachers showed that there are no significant differences in the level of knowledge on the concept of i-Think mind maps.

University recruitment websites continue to show students happily using technology in the higher education environment. Exactly how technology is used in the teaching and learning process continues to challenge and frustrate university instructors and students. A frequent depiction of college classrooms consists of an instructor lecturing from the front of the classroom and reprimanding students for talking to each other. In this paradigm, the professor is the “sage on the stage” and is the single transmitter of knowledge. Is this teaching and learning approach the most effective way to educate students? With recent discoveries about how students learn most optimally, and how technology can augment the process, a paradigm shift is required towards appropriate and intentional implementation of technology tools for engaging students to use higher-order thinking skills. This chapter explores the use and application of free digital tools that both improve and in turn enhance the learning process.

This chapter reports on a case study that aimed to understand how global citizenship education (GCE) can be integrated in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) curriculum. In order to do that, the authors analyze the practicum reports of two pre-service teachers, which included the GCE projects they developed in a primary or in an upper secondary school, and the personal reflections they wrote at the end of the academic term. The first analytical procedure consisted in the identification of the topics, goals, methodologies, activities, and resources outlined by the pre-service teachers for their projects. Then, the authors analyzed the personal reflections to pinpoint learning outcomes, limitations, and recommendations. Finally, using a grounded theory approach, which drew on the data and on literature review, the authors propose a theoretical model for GCE pedagogies that provides possibilities for concrete EFL practices and teacher education programs.

This chapter offers to illuminate some of the complex relations between conscious, rational, higher order human functions and unconscious and intuitive processes, especially in the context of teaching and learning of higher order thinking. The chapter will consider dialogical models, especially those of Richard Paul and Mikhail Bakhtin, for teaching and learning of higher order thinking, which take into account these complex relations, and aims at optimizing higher order thinking skills and dispositions, without neglecting human's emotional side and their need for authentic self-expression.
