This research aims to determine the effectiveness of effective questioning technique in IPA 1 subject in improving high order thinking skills of students. Besides that, the research aims to determine the improvement of high order thinking skills of students that follow the instruction based on effective questioning technique in IPA 1 subject. The research method used isquasi experimental research with control-group pre-test post-test design. The population of this research is students of Elementary School Teacher Education Department that attends IPA 1 subject in the academic year 2014/2015. Research sample determines by simple random sampling techniques with 50 students in experiment class and 47 students in control class. Technique of data analysis which is used in this research is test of high order thinking skills. Hypothesis testing method used is Mann Whitney test. The result showed that the effective questioning techniqueis effective to improve higher-order thinking skills of students. The improvement of high order thinking skills of students who follow the instruction based on effective questioning technique in IPA 1 subject is 88,03% with the effect size of the use of effective questioning technique in experiment class is 54,47%.Key words: effective questioning technique, high order thinking skills   , IPA 1

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.

The background of the research is the low assessment of high order thinking skills of students due to the conventional methods used by the school. The aims of this study are: (1) how student learning activities when using hybrid learning Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) and jigsaw, (2) how student learning activities when taught using the direct learning model, and (3) the effect of hybrid learning Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) and jigsaw towards high order thinking skills. This study used a quasi experimental nonequivalent control group design with the sample of 50 students from a population of vocational high school students in Ponorogo. Data collection techniques used instruments in the form of high order tests and non-test instruments in the form of observation sheets. Data analysis used was independent sample t-test. The results showed: (1) the use of Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) based on hybrid learning and jigsaw made 28% of students were very active, 28% of students active, and 44% of students quite active in the learning process, this was evidenced by an average value of 70.56, (2) the use of direct learning models in learning made 24% of students quite active, 36% of students less active, and 40% of students passive in the learning process, which can be seen from the acquisition of an average value of 51.52, and (3) there was a significant effect of Student Learning Achievement Division (STAD) based on hybrid learning and jigsaw on students' high order thinking skills.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menunjukkan bahwa kemandirian belajar, kebiasaan berpikir, dan kreativitas dapat dijadikan sebagai prediktor terhadap kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan bentuk penelitiannya berupa penelitian ex post facto. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah teknik pengukuran dan komunikasi tidak langsung sehingga alat pengumpul data yang digunakan adalah tes HOTS dan angket. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh mahasiswa semester I program studi pendidikan matematika IKIP PGRI Pontianak. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan teknik cluster random sampling dan diperoleh satu kelas sebagai sampel penelitian dengan jumlah mahasiswa sebanyak 30 orang. Teknik analisis data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan statistik inferensial, regresi berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: kemandirian belajar dapat dijadikan prediktor terhadap HOTS, kebiasaan berpikir dapat dijadikan prediktor terhadap HOTS, kreativitas dapat dijadikan prediktor terhadap HOTS, dan kemandirian belajar, kebiasaan berpikir, dan kreativitas secara simultan dapat dijadikan sebagai prediktor terhadap HOTS. Selain itu, hasil penelitian ini juga menunjukkan bahwa yang dapat mempengaruhi HOTS tidak hanya model atau strategi pembelajaran saja, tetapi ada variabel lain yang bisa berpengaruh terhadap HOTS seperti kemandirian belajar, kebiasaan berpikir, dan kreativitas.   AbstractThe purpose of this research was to show that self regulated learning, habit of mind, and creativity could be used as predictors of high order thinking skills (HOTS). This research used quantitative method, ex post facto research. Data collection techniques used measurement and indirect communication techniques and data collection tool that used was HOTS test and questionnaire. The population were all undergraduate students of the first semester of mathematics education study program IKIP PGRI Pontianak. The sample of this research was taken by using the random cluster sampling technique and one class was obtained as a research sample with 30 students. Data analysis techniques in this study used inferential statistics, multiple regression. Based on the result of research, it was found that: self regulated learning could be a predictor of HOTS, habits of mind could be predictor of HOTS, creativity could be predictor of HOTS, and self regulated learning, habit of mind, and creativity simultaneously could be used as predictors of HOTS. The results of this study also indicated that the influence of HOTS was not only the model or learning strategy used but there were other variables like self regulated learning, habit of mind, and creativity.

This research aimed to develop high order thinking skills  workheet in momentum, impulse, and collision topic for senior high school This type of research is Research and Development  follow 4D models, includes : define, design, develop and disseminate. Data collection instruments used validation sheets for given to 5 validator, Aspects assessed include graphic, presentation, language, and the contents of workheet. Based on the result of data analysis showed that all aspects got average score in the range of 3.4 to 4 with categories of  very high. Thus, high order thinking skills was valid. For the purposes of testing the worksheet is given on 68 students. to measure the effectiveness of worksheet used  Higher Level Thinking Ability Test that amounts to 12 items. Based on the result of data analysis indicate, There is difference of higher order thinking skill of students who use HOTS worksheet than who are not use HOTS worksheet, where the average Higher Order Thinking Skill on students who use HOTS worksheet higher
