Background: Assessment is a crucial step for determining whether or not a learning process has been successful. High-order thinking skills are a requirement for learning achievement in the twenty-first century. The goal of this project is to put quantitative evaluation instruments created by Jakarta elementary school teachers to the test. Methods: A mix method is used, which combines descriptive qualitative research with document analysis and quantitative research with instrument testing on reproductive system material, which is then examined using Anates. The participants in this study were eight Jakarta-based grade VI primary school teachers. Results: It demonstrates that teachers' capacity to construct evaluation instruments varies widely. Testing using Anates shows 15% of the questions compiled are valid and 85% invalid, 1 school with strong reliability and 7 other schools are less reliable. The difference shows that 42.5% are accepted and 57.5% are rejected. The level of difficulty showed that as many as 8.75% of the questions were in the very easy category, 18.75% easy, 51.25% moderate, 7.5% difficult and 13.75 very difficult. These results form the basis of the importance of the hierarchy of teacher understanding in depth, especially in relation to the preparation of HOTS-based assessment instruments because the quality of learning success is largely determined by the assessment instrument used. Conclusions: The LOTS and HOTS-based capability instruments made by the teacher at 8 East Dijakarta Elementary Schools have not been maximized and need development by these teachers.

The success of a learning process that is planned and implemented by the teacher can be seen through the process of assessing students. Assessment can be carried out using appropriate assessment instruments so that it is necessary for teachers to be able to understand and compile assessment instruments properly. This study aims to examine and describe the assessment instruments made by elementary school teachers in Jakarta. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative research with data collection techniques using interviews and document analysis. The subjects in this study were 8 grade VI elementary school teachers in Jakarta with science material on theme 7 about the reproductive system. Based on the results of the study, it shows variations in the ability of teachers in developing assessment instruments. There were 6 teachers who were able to make instruments proportionally according to the LOTS and HOTS categories, but there were 2 teachers who were only able to compile an assessment instrument that only measured LOTS. In this study, teachers also found errors in determining the level of cognitive items, especially at levels C4, C5, and C6. These results make the basis for the importance of teachers understanding hierarchy in depth, especially in relation to the preparation of HOTS-based assessment instruments because the quality of learning success is largely determined by the assessment instrument used.

This study aims to describe the impact of online mentoring activities in implementing the RADEC (Read, Answer, Discuss, Explain, and Create) learning model on the competence of elementary school teachers in training students’ critical thinking skills. The method was a pre-experiment with a one-group pretest-posttest design involving 25 elementary school teachers in Indonesia. The teachers received online mentoring in implementing RADEC learning model. The research instrument was a questionnaire to measure teachers’ knowledge and skills in training critical thinking. The data processing technique was carried out by calculating the mean and the percentage of each item to obtain a description of the teachers’ knowledge and skills in training students’ critical thinking before and after treatment. The data were analyzed inferentially with a paired sample t-test using SPSS version 22 software to see the impact of the treatment on teachers’ competence in training critical thinking. Based on the results of the paired-sample t-test, for both the knowledge and skills aspects, the probability value (sig) was 0.00 <0.05. This result means that there was a significant difference in the knowledge and skills of teachers in training students’ critical thinking skills before and after mentoring activities. The study results indicate that the online mentoring in implementing the RADEC learning model improved teachers’ competence in training elementary school students’ critical thinking skills.

The aim of this study was to develop and validate classroom observation instruments designed to reveal the emergence of engineering activities in primary school teachers in project-based learning. The instruments developed included the elementary school classroom observation protocol sheet (POKSD) and the elementary school engineering observation protocol assessment (PORSD). Task items were arranged based on indicators adapted from COPUS (Classroom Observation Protocol for Undergraduate STEM) items. The initial design of the instrument was consulted with three experts based on learning objectives. The instrument was then validated by three experts in the field of basic education. The instrument test was conducted on teachers and 5th-grade students of UPI Bandung Laboratory (N = 1). POKSD and PORSD were assessed by three raters. Scores from the three raters were then analyzed using two-way ANOVA. The results showed that the intra-class correlation of performance assessment instruments was adequate (ICC = 0.773). The findings of this study demonstrated that the instrument was reliable and could be used for the emergence of engineering activities in elementary school teachers.
