Technological Tool

This paper explores the use of the WikiEducator E-quiz platform as an educational tool to enhance self-assessment techniques applied by distance and open education learners. Anderson’s Model explains six different types of interaction: student-student, student-teacher, student-content, teacher-teacher, teacher-content and content-content. The model has a number of intertwining links with higher order thinking skills—analysis, evaluation and creating—of Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy. Most of the learner-participants in this pilot study presented in this paper were privileged to have access to a computer, mobile phone and Internet, that enabled them to access, edit and add content to the E-quiz platform. A review of literature involved two main topics, namely self-directed learning and self-assessment. This study was qualitative in nature and conducted at a university in Ghana. Initially, Bower’s affordances analysis was used to test the efficacy and appropriateness of the WikiEducator E-quiz platform for distance education. The affordances analysis not only assisted in analysing the platform and the tasks to achieve, but also identified the gaps. Learners who used the platform critiqued and reflected on the platform from their own perspectives. Two of the principal author’s colleagues were instrumental in offering their opinions of the platform from a teacher’s lens.

Insight Into

Purpose The implementation of strategic questioning within the clinical teaching context has recently gained appeal among clinical educators as a method for stimulating critical thinking and other higher order thinking skills. This article will (a) address evidence for the use of strategic questioning approaches in the clinical teaching environment, (b) examine some of the complexities associated with effectively selecting and implementing questioning types, and (c) discuss the potential significance that supervisory training and self-assessment may have on effective application of strategic questioning. Conclusion Strategic questioning can be a highly valuable teaching methodology within the clinical teaching context. Current available external evidence, albeit limited, provides some insight into the complexities involved with effectively implementing strategic questioning methods. Further research is needed to explore the efficacy and feasibility of specific strategic questioning approaches within the scope of communication sciences and disorders.

It is a necessity for teachers to develop higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) into learning and facilitation (hereafter known as LaF) processes implemented in the classroom. Teachers should carefully balance the content of knowledge or knowledge they wish to convey and then integrate with other skills, especially HOTS. This research set out to examine the assimilation of HOTS into the LaF of argumentative essay writing as carried out by Malay language teachers in secondary schools. To obtain a holistic overview of the methods used by teachers in LaF, a qualitative case study approach was employed as the research design of this study. Two research participants were involved voluntarily in this study, and it was conducted at a boarding school in a district in Selangor, Malaysia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and classroom observations with the two participants. The findings revealed that the assimilation of the KHWL model for the LaF of HOTS argumentative essay writing could be seen through (i) the pair-think-share activity; and (ii) usage of self-assessment whiteboard.

This study aimed to investigating the effect of problem-based learning with char-acter emphasis toward the students’ higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) and characters. This study an experimental research using the single factor independ-ent group design which conducted on secondary school in Mataram - Indonesia. The treatment was given to three independent randomly selected groups, namely Problem-Based Learning with Character Emphasis (PBL-CE), Problem Based-Learning (PBL), and Regular Learning (RL). The data of the students’ HOTS were collected through essay tests and the data of the students’ characters were collected through self-assessment sheets, and analyzed using MANOVA. The results showed that the highest mean score for HOTS was found in the PBL-CE group, its was significantly different with RL group, and not significantly differ-ent with PBL group. Meanwhile, for the average score of student characters, the PBL-CE group scored higher and was significantly different from the other two groups (PBL and RL). The generalization of the study results has shown that there is an effect of problem-based learning with character emphasis on students' higher order thinking skills and character.

Changing Times

  In the world of education, it is very common for curriculum changes to be carried out with various considerations in accordance with changing times. In line with changes in the curriculum in Indonesia, the Ministry of Religion also issued a new curriculum written in KMA No. 183 of 2019 replacing KMA No. 165 of 2014 concerning 2013 curriculum guidelines for PAI and Arabic language materials. In KMA No. 165 of 2014 and KMA No. 183 of 2019, it is stated that the basic framework of the Madrasah Curriculum (PAI and Arabic) has been developed on philosophical, sociological, psycho-pedagogical, and juridical basis. Regarding the assessment of PAI and Arabic, KMA No. 183 of 2019, still has some similarities with KMA No. 165 of 2014, among others, assessment objectives, assessment principles, assessment methods, assessment techniques and tools as well as assessment aspects (attitudes, knowledge and skills). However, the highlight of KMA No. 183 of 2019 is the assessment of aspects of knowledge that require higher-order thinking skills or HOTS which has never been discussed at KMA No. 165 of 2014 before. ABSTRAKDalam dunia pendidikan sangat lumrah jika perubahan kurikulum terus dijalankan dengan berbagai pertimbangan sesuai dengan perubahan zaman. Sejalan dengan perubahan kurikulum di Indonesia, Kementerian Agama juga mengeluarkan kurikulum baru yang tertulis dalam KMA No. 183 tahun 2019 menggantikan KMA No. 165 tahun 2014 tentang pedoman kurikulum 2013 materi PAI dan Bahasa Arab. Dalam KMA No. 165 Tahun 2014 dan KMA No. 183 Tahun 2019, disebutkan bahwa kerangka dasar Kurikulum Madrasah (PAI dan Bahasa Arab) telah dikembangkan atas dasar falsafah, sosiologi, psiko-pedagogis, dan yuridis. Terkait penilaian PAI dan Bahasa Arab, KMA No. 183 Tahun 2019, masih memiliki beberapa kesamaan dengan KMA No. 165 Tahun 2014, antara lain tujuan penilaian, prinsip penilaian, metode penilaian, teknik dan alat penilaian serta aspek penilaian (sikap, pengetahuan dan keterampilan). Namun yang menjadi sorotan dari KMA No 183 Tahun 2019 ini adalah penilaian aspek pengetahuan yang membutuhkan kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi atau HOTS yang belum pernah dibahas di KMA No 165 Tahun 2014 sebelumnya.
