One of the teachers’ responsibilities in the teaching and learning process is to conduct assessments. The main purpose of assessment is to understand students’ learning outcomes. Based on the outcomes, teachers can give feedback to improve the planning and the implementation of the teaching process and to determine the quality of the assessment instrument. The Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)-based assessment is urgently needed in schools to produce competitive graduates who have the critical thinking, communicative, collaborative, and creative skills. However, there are some challenges in the implementation of HOTS-based assessment, such as students’ low motivation and Arabic competence, ambiguous definitions of basic competencies in the curriculum, and lack of HOTS materials in textbooks. These challenges can be solved by making an acquisition-based learning of Arabic, reconstructing the descriptions of basic competence, and adapting HOTS-based assessment which is in line with the students’ ability. Keywords: challenges, HOTS, Arabic teaching, solutions

The use of instruction tools that only explains the instruction material, but does not know the extent to which students' understanding causes the instruction process to be less than optimal. This study aims to find out the development process, feasibility, and the influence of using student worksheet based on higher order thinking skills in improving Mathematics learning outcomes at MIN 3 Tulungagung and SDI Qurrota A'yun Ngunut Tulungagung. This study uses the development research model of Borg, and Gall. The results show that: (1) The development of HOTS-based worksheets begins with preparing instruction materials in accordance with the Core Competencies and Basic Competencies listed in the 2013 Curriculum.Furthermore, the researcher makes examples of HOTS questions that are in accordance with the material that has been presented, making questions individual and group practice questions and then make competency test questions at the end of the chapter. (2) The worksheets based on HOTS are suitable for use in improving Mathematics learning outcomes. This can be seen from the results of due diligence by media and material experts. (3) There is an influence of using HOTS-based worksheets as indicated by the significant difference in learning outcomes between the experimental class that does instruction using HOTS-based worksheets and the control class that does instruction without HOTS-based worksheets. This is based on the data from the t-test results in which sig-2 0.040 <0.050 is obtained.

This study aims to: 1) provide knowledge and understanding to the teachers about the concept and characteristics of the HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills) assessment extensively and deep; and 2) improve the skills of the teachers to develop HOTS assessment. To achieve Reviews These objectives, the research literature sourced from journals, reference books, modules, Internet, and other sources such as the print and electronic media that are relevant to the topic HOTS development assessment. Data collected by documentation and observation techniques. The research of data were Analyzed using descriptive exploratory methods. The results of the data analysis are as follows: 1) HOTS assessments are questions or tasks that have Reviews These characteristics: to assess students abilities to analyze, Evaluate, and create based on contextual issues, and are not routine (not familiar); 2) steps compose HOTS items are: a) analyze the KD that can be created HOTS items, b) arrange the blueprint of HOTS items, c) write down the items on the card matter, d) Determine the answer key (multiple choice questions form) or arrange rubric / scoring guidelines (essay form), e) perform qualitative analysis, and f) perform quantitative analysis; 3) the advantage of HOTS assessments are: a) Increase the stundents motivation to learn and b) improve learning outcomes. and f) perform quantitative analysis; 3) the advantage of HOTS assessments are: a) Increase the stundents motivation to learn and b) improve learning outcomes. and f) perform quantitative analysis; 3) the advantage of HOTS assessments are: a) Increase the stundents motivation to learn and b) improve learning outcomes.

There were still many teachers who had difficulty making student learning assessment instruments. The orientation of the learning carried out was still at the level of low-level thinking (remembering, memorizing, and understanding) so that students had low knowledge. This study aimed to develop an instrument for assessing science learning outcomes on Theme 8 based on Higher Order Thinking Skills. This type of research was development research. The model used in this study was 4D which is divided into four stages, namely Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. The techniques used in collecting data were observation, interviews, document recording, rating scales, and tests. The instrument used in collecting data was a questionnaire. The results of the study will be analyzed for validity, reliability, discriminating power, and level of difficulty, quality of distractors, practitioner responses, and student responses. Instruments designed to collect data were tested first to find out the instrument's validity. The results of the research were the analysis of the content validity test and the items were in very high criteria. Based on the results of the reliability test, the instrument being tested had a very high consistency. In the analysis of the quality of the distractor, the instrument functions well. In the analysis of practitioners' responses and student responses, the category was very good. It can be concluded that the instrument that assesses the science learning outcomes of theme 8 based on Higher Order Thinking Skills was valid and feasible to be used as an assessment instrument for students.

Research on development of Higher Order Thinking Skill (HOTS) is aimed at: (1) to produce higher order thinking skills (HOTS) instrument of PAI class X SMK Ibrahimy 2 Sukorejo Situbondo and (2) to know the feasibility of higher order thinking SMK Ibrahimy 2 Sukorejo Situbondo seen from the results of student trials. This research was research of development of higher order thinking skills (assessment instrument using 4D model. Based on the results of the analysis on the book PAI package and making test questions created by teachers in SMK Ibrahimy 2 Sukorejo can’t measure the ability of higher order thinking (HOT). The ability of students was still relatively low known from the making of questions that still level 1.2 and 3, while the matter can be said higher order thinking (HOT) if it is in the realm of cognitive C4, C5, C6.

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.
