<p class="15bIsiAbstractBInggris"><em>Entering the era of globalization, millennials, and the industrial revolution 4.0 which is full of challenges and very competitive competition, everyone must not only have global competencies (global abilities) but also must have high order thinking abilities (high-level thinking skills). In order not to be alienated and marginalized, Muslims as the majority of Indonesia's population, and the second-largest population in the world, inevitably have to have global capabilities and high-level thinking. This article, which uses library data and direct and indirect observations, proves that global abilities and higher-order thinking are part of the Islamic tradition. The sources of Islamic teachings, the Qur'an, Al-Hadith, and the history of the journey of Muslims in the golden age of the 7th to 13th centuries AD, have encouraged and given birth to a tradition of having global competence and high- thinking skills level. The background, characteristics, scope, steps, and examples of the practice of global abilities and higher thinking from an Islamic perspective can be proven in this paper. For this reason, as part of the world community that must compete and emerges as the winner, it is time for global abilities and high-level thinking to be reclaimed and put into practice.</em></p><p> </p><p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p class="16bIsiAbstrak">Memasuki era globalisasi, milenial dan revolusi industri 4.0 yang penuh tantangan dan persaingan yang amat kompetitif, setiap orang tidak saja harus memiliki <em>global competencies</em> (kemampuan global) melainkan juga harus memiliki kemampuan <em>high order thinking</em> (kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi).

This research is an experimental study through elaborates the Active Knowledge Sharing (AKS) learning model to improve students' High Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). The low ability of students to analyze, evaluate, and create is due to the lack of application of questions that deliver students to solve problems that contain HOTS. The four stages in the AKS will serve as a reference for students’ HOTS integrated 4Cs. The sample was a student in Chemical Engineering at the State Polytechnic of Ujung Pandang. The increase in the average aspects of HOTS (analysis, evaluation, and create) in the experimental class (N-gain = 94%) higher than the control class (N-gain = 57%). In the experimental class, the average score for HOTS of students was 37.7 and there was an increase in the average score in the posttest final measurement of 96.5 or an increase of 59 points with the average high-level thinking ability of students in the very good category. This indicates that the AKS learning model is effective in increasing the ability of HOTS as well as having an impact on students' 4Cs abilities.

This study aims to analyze and describe data on the understanding of YAPNUSDA elementary school teachers of High Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) and their implementation in learning. This study is a descriptive study that describes HOTS's understanding of the teacher and its implementation in learning. The data collection tool used was a questionnaire. The results of this study indicate that in general the data obtained is that the teachers in the study location schools do not yet understand about HOTS. They can't even explain the definition of HOTS. The lack of understanding of HOTS certainly has an impact on the implementation of HOTS in the tools for assessing learning performance, including the exam questions jointly prepared by the editorial team. The most frequently cited reason that also hinders teachers is that they do not yet understand HOTS and the technique of formulating instruments with verbs that measure HOTS.

The 2013 curriculum encourages learners to have high-level high-level thinking skills high order thinking skills (HOTS). This requires teaching materials that are in line with the demands of the 2013 Curriculum such as Student Worksheets (LKPD). To develop LKPD in accordance with the demands of the 2013 Curriculum, it is necessary to analyze the needs of students about the LKPD. The purpose of this study was to see the needs of students' analysis of HOTS-based LKPD to hone higher order thinking skills so that students could think critically and creatively. This type of research is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. The sampling technique was observation, interviews and questionnaires to students of SMPN 3 and SMPN 23 Padang. The results showed that the teaching materials available at SMPN 3 Padang and SMPN 23 Padang already used the 2013 Curriculum, but the LKPD used was only made by the Subject Teacher Conference. The LKPD made by the MGMP does not require students to analyze, evaluate and create which are indicators of HOTS. From the analysis of the curriculum, the two schools have implemented the 2013 curriculum, but in its implementate it has not emphasized a student-centered learning process. Based on the interview with the teacher, it was found that the problem in the learning process was that students were not used to higher-order thinking and there was no teaching material that specifically required students to improve higher-order thinking. Thus, the development of HOTS-based LKPD is very much needed.

This study aimed to describe the relationship between reading interest in vertebrate zoology teaching materials with high order thinking skills. The method used is correlational research (descriptive). The population in this study were students of 2015 and 2016 Biology education at the Faculty of Science and Technology at UIN Walisongo Semarang with a sample of 113 students. Data of reading interest was captured by student answers through statements on questionnaires, while high order thinking skills are captured by description tests. Both of these data were analyzed by the Spearman correlation test, Regression and t-test. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between reading interest and high order thinking skills ability of students at α = 0.05 (sig. 0,000), but the relationship is in the low category (r = 0.326). And there are differences in reading interest and high order thinking skills ability between the 2015 and 2016 classes. Thus, reading interest needs to be increased because it has a relationship with students' high order thinking abilities.
