This paper explores the proposition that teaching of critical thinking (CT) should include:  (1) identifying and addressing the many environmental variables acting as barriers to our human thinking, i.e., an open system approach, and (2) utilizing the interrelatedness of the CT building blocks, i.e., creative thinking techniques, levels of learning, hierarchy of human needs, classic problem solving processes, and classic logical reasoning.

Learning Arabic is more dominant as a skill than a Science. The learners’ goals are able to use Arabic both spoken and written well and correctly. While HOTS is more dominant in requiring learners to think integrally. Therefore, it is important to consider the extent to which the Ministerial Regulation accommodates HOTS through a study of the basic competence of Arabic contained in it. This study is a literature review of the basic competence of Arabic in the Decree of the Minister of Religion (KMA) number 183 in 2019 in HOTS perspective. The object of this study is the basic competence of Arabic in KMA 183 in 2019. The result shows the basic competence of Arabic in KMA 183 in 2019 to accommodate the ability in higher order thinking such as problem solving, critical thinking, and reasoning. While the Basic Competence in KMA didn’t achieve creative thinking and decision making.

Improving the critical thinking ability of students is a learning outcome of many undergraduate and graduate courses.  While case-based courses encourage higher order critical thinking, students still often become rote in the application of concepts and theories to problem-solving situations.  This paper presents an example of a graduate marketing MBA course that was revised by integrating the creative problem solving process with the traditional case analysis process in order to enhance student critical thinking and problem solving skills.

<p><em>Teachers are always required to always update the changes that occur, so that learning is able to prepare students to face the changes that occur. One of the important things that can be done by teachers is to develop HOTS-oriented learning so that students become accustomed to critical thinking so that they are able to develop their creativity. The purpose of this study is to determine the concept of higher order thinking skills, aspects of higher order thinking skills, HOTS-oriented learning characteristics. The results of this study are: Higher order thinking skills are thinking skills that are not just remembering, restating, and also referring without processing, but thinking skills to examine information critically, creatively, and able to solve problems, Skill-oriented learning higher order thinking is learning that involves 3 (three) aspects of higher order thinking skills, namely: transfer of knowledge, critical and creative thinking, and problem solving. The characteristics of HOTS-oriented learning must make students active in thinking.</em></p>

The study of creative thinking in music involves a complex combination of cognitive and affective variables, often executed at the highest levels of human thinking and feeling. This is such a complicated set of long-term engagements (composition, repeated music listening, or decisions about previously composed music in performance) or ‘in the moment’ engagements (improvisation and one-time listening), that it becomes quickly apparent why this field has not attracted more music researchers and why many feel the topic is hopelessly impregnable. However, the changes in education and the role of music in formal learning demands that we address creative thinking as best we can. This article takes a decidedly ‘teaching and learning’ approach in summarizing the many studies on creative thinking in music. While it is generally acknowledged that children's creative thinking in music occurs as part of many music experiences such as listening, performance, conducting, and improvising, the focus here is on composition.

Sejatinya dunia pendidikan dan pembelajaran berkembang dengan seiring perubahan zaman. Di abad 21 ini, pembelajaran tidak hanya berpusat pada kognitif dan siswa hanya menghafal tetapi di era revolusi industri 4.0 ini siswa dituntut harus mampu bersaing dengan negara-negara lain melalui keterampilan berpikir kreatif (creative thinking), berpikir kritis dan pemecahan masalah (critical thinking and problem solving), berkomunikasi (communication), dan berkolaborasi (collaboration) atau yang biasa disebut dengan 4C. Salah satu model pembelajaran yang dapat mengasah keterampilan siswa adalah pembelajaran berbasis masalah adalah pendekatan pembelajaran dengan mengorientasikan siswa pada masalah kontekstual, yang mendorong siswa untuk mampu menemukan masalahnya, menelaah kuantitas, kualitas dan kompleksitas masalah yang diajukan. Terlebih dalam pembelajaran sejarah metode pembelajaran berbasis masalah dapat digunakan guna menarik minat siswa dan menambah semangat patriotisme siswa.Kata Kunci : keterampilan 4c , siswa , Abad 21 , Model Pembelajaran , Sejarah ,Berbasis Masalah,

Architectural design process is subject to ambiguities surrounding not only definition of the procedures and the flow of the process, but also the nature of the information to be analyzed. This state of affairs is generally thought to require creative thinking for solving both different aspects of the problem, and integration of the parts of the solution. Creativity is mainly explained on the basis of novelty, utility and surprise. But it is not considered to be a unitary concept. The underlying structure of the design process has been introduced by the present study in relation to the levels of the decision making concerning the process. In addition a multidimensional view of architectural design has been provided as part of creative design-solving process, based on a multi-sensory perception of architecture, human needs, designer's theoretical orientation for creativity, and incremental steps of creative problem-solving activity. The major realms of inquiry as part of the incremental steps of problem solving have been identified with reference to the study areas in professional degree programs in architecture. The model of architectural design process introduced is expected to help the problem solver interlink different parts of the solution established through creative design problem solving procedures.

The development of the economics HOTS test that combines critical thinking skills, problem-solving, and critical thinking are essential to meet the challenges of the 21st century life skills. The combination of these thinking skills in the HOT test will help teachers to diagnose students' strengths and weaknesses. However, it could interfere with the accuracy of the measurement results if analyzed using IRT in a single analysis. The Multidimensional Item Response Theory (MIRT) resolved the accuracy of the measurement issues. This research aimed to develop the economics HOTS test to estimate the student’s abilities in higher order thinking skills using the MIRT. The samples were 750 high school students selected from fourteen high schools in West Sumatera, Indonesia. The data were collected using tests which calibrated through the simple-structure MIRT model using R studio. The test reliability was calculated based on coefficients Alpha and test information function. The results show MIRT offers accurate measurement in estimating multidimensional test parameters. The item had a moderate average multidimensional discriminant and difficulty, while the students had a moderate HOTS ability. Their ability to think creatively was lower than critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. The test was proven to be reliable with coefficients Alpha of 0.81, it yielded a high-test information function of the 4.0124, and a low measurement error of 0.4992. It is suitable to be tested on students who have moderate abilities in problem-solving and critical thinking, but with high creative thinking ability. Keywords: HOTS, critical thinking, creative thinking, problem solving, MIRT.

Critical thinking in 21st century has been recognized as a skill for citizens. Critical thinking is define as the intellectual thinking skills like analyzing, reasoning, problem solving, creative thinking, making judgement and good decision maker. One way to enhance critical thinking skill is by Problem Based Learning (PBL) approach and it is already widely utilized in educational course as problem solving in learning assessment. Meanwhile, an online tool is the effective approach for teaching and learning in worldwide nowadays. Recently, the previous papers more focus on PBL and the outcome of critical thinking, but not the process, tools to support especially in the new era of learning. There is quite a few paper discuss about using online tools in PBL and critical thinking. The purpose of this review is to look into how the online tools were tackled by previous scholars and the latest trends on online tools in PBL to enhance critical thinking skill. The finding is based on past articles from the other researchers before. Hopefully, this study will contribute to the introduction of a new era of understanding the importance of PBL to enhance critical thinking skill via online tools.

Islam once triumphed as a great civilization with two main characteristics: an appreciation of science as well as submission to the value of Tawheed. Unfortunately, at present these characteristics seem not to belong to Islam. Various measurement data show that Muslim-dominated countries such as Indonesia, have low values in higher-order thinking skills such as creative thinking and problem-solving. As a solution effort, this paper attempts to reintroduce the concept of critical thinking in the body of the current Muslim community. The effort begins by showing how important critical thinking is in Islam, the relevance of Islam and critical thinking and the adaptation of current research in the frame of Islamic Psychology. The main implication of this paper is the importance of seeing the significance of all researchers, both Muslim researchers and outside Muslims, in the process of Islamizing the concept.
