The study aimed to identify the relationship between science teachers' use of the flipped classroom strategy and their attitudes towards developing higher-order thinking skills among students of the higher basic stage in the Hebron governorate. In order to achieve the goal of the study, the researcher followed the descriptive and analytical approach, as she/he conducted a questionnaire to measure the extent to which science teachers use the flipped classroom strategy, and she conducted another questionnaire to measure the attitudes of science teachers towards developing higher-order thinking skills among students of the higher basic stage. Then, the two questionnaire sheets are electronically applied to a random sample of science teachers in the Hebron governorate. The number of the sample is (136) teachers in all directorates of the Hebron governorate. The results have shown that science teachers use the flipped classroom strategy frequently. Moreover, science teachers' attitudes towards developing higher-order thinking skills among students were at a high level, as the field of "critical thinking skills" came in the first place, followed by "problem-solving skills", however, "creative thinking skills" ranked last. Besides, the results have shown a strong correlation between science teachers ’use of the flipped classroom strategy and teachers' attitudes towards developing students' higher-order thinking skills. And, there are statistically significant differences in the science teachers' use of the flipped classroom strategy in teaching students of the higher basic stage in the Hebron governorate as well as in the science teachers' attitudes towards developing higher-order thinking skills among students of the higher basic stage in the Hebron governorate according to the gender variable for females, and according to the directorate variable for the directorate North Hebron. given the findings of the study; The researcher recommended that it is necessary to provide means of support to encourage teachers to employ modern technologies in teaching thinking. It is also necessary to conduct more studies dealing with the relationship between teachers' attitudes towards developing higher thinking skills and employing other teaching strategies and to conduct evaluation studies to examine the effectiveness of flipped learning strategies in teaching thinking.

The Digital Native is experiencing education during a very unique time. Learning with the help of technology, becoming independent and flexible learners, will only build on the skills they need to face a rapidly changing world and truly become architects of their own learning. The i2Flex model (a blended learning model) allows curriculum demands to be met while creating a learning environment whereby Middle School Science students are motivated and become engaged in higher order skills. This chapter will discuss the i2Flex philosophy and how the flipped classroom complements this methodology and allows students to build on higher order thinking skills within a K-12 international school setting.

Higher order thinking skills (HOTS) is one of important aspects in education. Students with high level of higher order thinking skills tend to be more successful. However, do this phenomenon also happen in the learning of Mathematics? To answer this question, this research aims to study the relationship between HOTS and students' academic performance in Mathematics instruction. The research is conducted by occupying correlation research method on 41 students of mathematics education in university of Papua who had already completed 120 credits. The instrument in a test format for HOTS measurement has two main indicators; the critical thinking skill and creative thinking skill. Students are selected as research subjects, and are asked to do 9 questions of HOTS test in 60 minutes. The holistic rubric is used to assess the higher order thinking skills of students. The results of research show that these two variables have a high value of correlation (r = 0.814) and the regression equation is grade point average = 2,105 + 0,017 HOTS. Both of statistics show that there is a significant relationship between HOTS and students' academic achievement.

The teacher's ability to construct assessment instruments is a focus that needs to be considered. Furthermore, the demand of the 21st century directs teachers to set questions that are oriented to train students' abilities in higher-order thinking. However, several factors affect the ability to construct HOTS-oriented assessment instruments. This study aims to investigate what factors influence geography teachers’ ability to develop higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) instruments to measure learning outcomes. This study used a survey method with a quantitative approach. The data collection technique was field observation, and multiple linear regression was used for analysis. The results showed the linearity of teacher education regarding the length of teaching geography was 0.904, the tertiary institution was 0.009, and the background of education was 0.019. Also, teachers' certification was 0.007, their training was 0.032, and their experience in making HOTS questions was 0.047. The coefficient value of determination R, namely 0.635 means the relationship between teaching length, the linearity of their education in tertiary institutions, background, certification, training, and experience regarding the ability to develop HOTS-oriented assessment instruments is 63.5%. This means the relationship is strong, and 36.5% is another factor. This study concludes that the factors that significantly affect the ability of geography teachers in developing HOTS-oriented assessment instruments are the linearity factor of teacher education in universities, education background, certification, teacher training and experience in making HOTS questions.

Traditional learning instruction puts students in a passive learning role such as listening to lectures in the classroom. One of the contemporary innovative instructional approaches is the "flipped classroom", which employs pre-class video-recorded lectures and critical in-class discussion. This instruction leads students to remember and understand the pre-class content or access videos before attending the class. In this study, we proposed the flipped learning model design in which relevant to the Indonesian Political Systems course. This preliminary study employed Research-Based Design as a methodological approach in collecting rigorous information from two experts in the field of educational technology and pedagogy. The study was conducted within several phases, namely: planning, designing, formative evaluation, revision, redesign, and summative evaluation. The finding of this study reveals that two activities are recommended to be applied for students before class (lower-order thinking skills)and the other four activities are practiced in the classroom (higher-order thinking skills). This study can be summarized that the employment of flipped-class instruction may potentially lead to independent learning and critical thinking skills. Besides, this study also becomes a recommendation for the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education (Ristekdikti) to consider the flipped classroom as a contemporary teaching-learning conception in Indonesia. AbstrakPembelajaran dengan metode konvensional seperti mendengarkan ceramah di kelas cenderung membuat peserta didik menjadi pasif dan akhirnya membuat kegiatan belajar-mengajar menjadi tidak menyenangkan dan membosankan. Salah satu model pembelajaran inovatif terbaru berbasis video pembelajaran dan diyakini dapat menjadi solusi untuk masalah ini adalah flipped classroom. Model pembelajaran ini akan menuntun peserta didik untuk belajar secara mandiri melalui video pembelajaran sebelum datang ke kelas, sedangkan kegiatan di kelas lebih difokuskan pada aktivitas diskusi dan tanya-jawab. Oleh karena demikian, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendesain model pembelajaran flipped classroom atau kelas terbalik untuk diterapkan pada sebuah perguruan tinggi dengan mata kuliah Sistem Politik Indonesia. Studi sederhana ini menggunakan pendekatan Desain Berbasis Penelitian (Design-Based Research). Penelitian ini dilakukan dalam beberapa tahap, yaitu: perencanaan, perancangan, evaluasi formatif, revisi, desain ulang, dan evaluasi sumatif oleh dua orang pakar. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa model pembelajaran flipped classroom bisa diimplementasikan dalam enam tahapan kegiatan; dua kegiatan sebelum datang ke kelas (lower-order thinking skills) dan empat kegiatan di dalam kelas (higher-order thinking skills). Dari hasil penelitian ini, dapat disimpulkan bahwa model pembelajaran inovatif flipped classroom berpotensi untuk diterapkan dalam kegiatan belajar-mengajar di perguruan tinggi, bertujuan untuk membangun budaya belajar mandiri dan berfikir kritis mahasiswa. Studi ini juga diharapkan bisa menjadi masukan bagi Kementerian Riset, Teknologi, dan Pendidikan Tinggi (Ristekdikti) atau pembuat kebijakan untuk merekomendasikan flipped classroom sebagai model pembelajaran kontemporer pada institusi pendidikan tinggi Indonesia.
