The implementation of physics learning still does not involve students' thinking processes. It is very important to practice higher-order thinking skills, one of which is creative thinking. One of the mandated learning models in the 2013 Curriculum is inquiry. This study aimed to analyze the effect of dynamic electric puzzle science tool-assisted inquiry learning on students' creative thinking skills compared to conventional learning. This study used a quasi-experiment research type with a control group pretest-posttest design. This study was done in class XII. The sampling technique was purposive sampling, with XII IPA Al-Qalam as the experimented class and XII IPA Al-Furqan as the controlled class in the academic year of 2020/2021. Data collection was done by creative thinking skills instrument test, which consisted of 5 essay questions. Data were analyzed by using SPSS 25.0 for windows on normality, homogeneity, and N-gain test. Learning outcomes data of both classes were normally distributed and homogenous. Based on the result, the average score of the pretest and posttest of the controlled class were 39.2 and 70.7, while the average scores of the pretest and posttest of the experimented class were 49.0 and 80.2. Data analysis was done by using t test, and it resulted that tcount was 2.439, while ttable was 2.009 or tcount > ttable  and the significance was (0.01) < 0.05 meant that there was a significant effect of the inquiry model towards students' creative thinking skills if compared to conventional learning.

This study aims to determine the implementation of learning by applying the Student Facilitator And Explaining (SFAE) model and the improvement of students' creative thinking skills on the topic of harmonic vibration. The method used in this study is pre-experimental with one-group pretest-posttest design. The samples of this study were students of class X MIA 4 SMA Karya Pembangunan I Ciaparay with a total of 30 students. The sample was chosen by random sampling technique. The field observation sheet instrument was used to observe the implementation of the SFAE model. An essay type test was given in order to measure students' creative thinking skills. This study discovers that the average implementation score of teacher’s activity was 83% which belongs to the good category and the students’ activity was 79% which belongs to the good category. The Improvement of students’ creative thinking skills based on normalized gain was 0.56 which belongs to the medium category. Hypothesis testing used was paired sample t-test with the results of t-count (36.06)> t-table (2.052). This result means that the SFAE model can be used as an alternative for improving students' creative thinking skills for the topic of harmonic vibration. Thus, implementation of the SFAE model can improve students' higher order thinking skills. The SFAE model can also be implemented for learning on other physics topics at various levels of education

This study aimed to determine the effect of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model on tenth grade students’ higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) in ecosystem concept. The design of this study was quasi experimental research with "nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group design". The population of this study was X grade students in Senior High School (SHS) Kandangan, South Kalimantan. The sample were chosen through random sampling technique. The sample will be tested for equivalence based on the data of from the report card from the first semester. The instrument of data collection is students' HOTS rubric that developed by Hart (1994) with a range of scores for each question ranging from 0 to 4. One way analysis of variance (anava) was used as hypothesis test in this study. The result showed that PBL learning model had a positive effect on HOTS. It can be seen from the average of HOTS level of control class was 28.40 and treatment class was 36,23 and seen from F value = 20.97 whereas F table = 0.05 means F arithmetic > F table.

This article reports on the results of a R &D study on standard evaluation instruments used to measure students’ higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) in Indonesian Language textbooks for the tenth-grade students registered in the academic year of 2019/2020. A qualitative approach to data collection and data analysis was employed. The identification of the research object was carried out by coding various data about the diversity of standard evaluation instruments of HOTS by examining the operational words used and the form of competency measured. The data were analyzed with regard to the level of tendency towards the measurement of certain aspects of thinking. Based on the findings of the research, it can be seen that HOTS contained in Indonesian textbooks class X are already diverse; however, the percentage of diversity is not yet proportional. The aspects include creative thinking (28.3%), critical thinking (37.2%), problem solving (18.6%), and decision making (15.9%) of all evaluation instruments analyzed. A less proportional percentage of each of these aspects shows that the utilization of HOTS standard evaluation instrument development criteria has not been maximally pursued.
