Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) is a competency that must be achieved by students as stated in the 2013 curriculum. Indirectly, Unimed - LPTK which will create graduates to become teachers has a central role in realizing students who have such high-level thinking skills. Previously, when becoming a student at Unimed, high-level thinking skills of students had to be honed and improved continuously so that when becoming a teacher, Unimed graduates were able to train students to think high-level through HOTS-oriented questions. This study aims to: 1) Describe the relevance of the semester final exam questions compiled by the lecturer on the measurement of high-level thinking skills of Indonesian Language and Literature Department students, FBS Unimed, 2) Describe the relevance of teaching materials used by students to improve higher-order thinking skills, and 3) Developing a HOTS-oriented Indonesian language and literature learning assessment course module at Unimed FBS Language and Literature Department. This study uses a research and development (R & D) approach. The stages that will be carried out in this study include: defining, design, develop, and disseminate. The results showed that the learning planning tools made by the lecturers did not integrate the achievement of students' high-level thinking skills.

High level learning ability (HOTS) is the ability of students to be critical and creative thinking skills. In 2013, students were required to be able to receive information and remember it, but students must be able to solve the problems they faced with the knowledge they needed. Based on observations, the instruments used by teachers are still at the level of C1-C3, while for high-level thinking abilities students must be able to think at the C4-C6 level. This study aims to analyze the ability of high-level thinking of students on material changes in the environment. The assessment instrument used is an instrument of assessment of high-level thinking ability that is valid, practical, reliable and has good quality items. The instrument is said to be valid if the instrument can measure what should be measured. The practicality of the assessment instrument depends on how easily the instrument is used to assess students' abilities. Reliable means that the instrument gives the same results when tested in the same group at different times. An instrument that has good quality items is an instrument that has a moderate level of difficulty and sufficient differentiation, good and very good. Based on the results of the test questions, the average value of students is 41.37 which is still categorized as low. The low level of students' high-level thinking skills can be improved by familiarizing students with higher-order thinking and using scientific learning models.

Pembelajaran geometri ruang merupakan salah satu pembelajran yang memerlukan kemampuan analitis dan komunikatif mahasiswa. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah 1) untuk mengkaji penggunaan perangkat pembelajaran geometri ruang berbasis ICT dalam meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi, 2) untuk mengetahui respon mahasiswa terhadap penggunaan perangkat pembelajaran geometri berbasis ICT. Pembelajaran geometri memerlukan kemampuan mengkomunikasikan bangun yang sifatnya abstrak menjadi konkrit sehingga dapat meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi dengan menggunakan ICT. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan perangkat pembelajaran berbasis ICT dengan program wingeom dapat meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi. Learning geometry of space is one pembelajran that require analytical and communicative abilities of students. The purpose of this study were 1) to assess the use of the learning device geometry of space-based ICT in enhancing the ability to think critically, 2) to study the response of students to use ICT-based learning device geometry. Learning geometry requires the ability to communicate wake which is abstract into the concrete so as to increase high-level thinking skills by using ICT. Results from this study indicate the ICT-based learning with wingeom programs can increase high-level thinking skills.

En nuestros días, la existencia de recursos sobre dramatización como herramienta educativa es escasa. De este modo, el presente trabajo permite identificar el grado de conocimiento sobre el concepto de dramatización en el alumnado de Educación Secundaria, además de la relación teatro-vida cotidiana y la percepción que tiene este alumnado acerca del uso de la dramatización como recurso didáctico en el área de Lengua y Literatura. Para ello, se ha llevado a cabo un estudio ex post-facto de carácter transversal mediante un cuestionario ad-hoc de 21 ítems, sobre una muestra de 88 alumnos de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria. A la luz de los resultados obtenidos, hemos observado que los discentes tienen un alto grado de conocimiento en cuanto al concepto de dramatización, así como también una elevada percepción de esta como  recurso didáctico en el aula. Sin embargo, la vinculación de las actividades dramáticas con la vida diaria del alumnado es bastante deficiente. Por tanto, promover la realización de este tipo de actividades en el aula favorecería la participación en ellas. ABSTRACT:At present, there are not many resources that would help us to use drama as an educational tool. Thus, this paper examines how aware secondary school students are of the drama concept, the relationship between theatre and everyday life as well as the perception of the use of drama as a teaching resource in the area of language and literature. With this purpose some research has been carried out. The procedure includes an ex post-facto transverse character test through a questionnaire ad-hoc consisting of 21 items. 88 compulsory secondary education students have participated in the survey. In the results, we have observed that the learners have a high level of knowledge regarding the concept of drama, as well as a high perception of this as a teaching resource in the classroom. However, the link of dramatic activities with the daily life of students seems quite poor. As a conclusion, motivating the practice of this type of activities in class would encourage them to take part in these types of activities.

<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).

Tulisan yang menggunakan data kepustakaan dan hasil pengamatan langsung dan tidak langsung ini membuktikan bahwa kemampuan global dan berpikir tingkat tinggi itu sesungguhnya merupakan bagian dari tradisi Islam. Sumber ajaran Islam Al-Qur’an, Al-Hadis serta sejarah perjalanan umat Islam di zaman keemasan (<em>golden age</em>) abad ke-7 sampai dengan 13 M, sesungguhnya telah mendorong dan melahirkan tradisi memiliki kompetensi global dan kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi.
