Reacting to the symbolic features and historical artefacts that invite institutional self-reflection at the Royal Military College (RMC), I created a performance project leading to two storytelling events. Everyday campus life at RMC already offers opportunities for cultivating a meta-perspective—a higher-order awareness—of the institution, and the storytelling events called attention to such opportunities. I argue that, likewise, art-based projects in the humanities call attention to the creativity—the making—involved in the humanities more broadly. The first storytelling event, Tailor Made (2017), comprised stories focused on the uniform as a model and the body wearing it as an actual bearing out that model. Social and cultural life is made of the difference between models and actuals, and each story engaged the ways that rules, systems, and practices meet with individuals in hurtful, inconvenient, funny or messy ways. The second event, Skylarking (2018), included stories of the institutionally condoned pranks called “skylarks” and coincidentally occurred against the backdrop of a campus-wide punishment that elicited a skylark response. This event and its context showed that marking disruption with more disruption (marking failure with punishment and marking punishment with prank) is a recursion that invites higher-order thinking about existing orders.

Reacting to the symbolic features and historical artefacts that invite institutional self-reflection at the Royal Military College (RMC), I created a performance project leading to two storytelling events. Everyday campus life at RMC already offers opportunities for cultivating a meta-perspective – a higher-order awareness – of the institution, and the storytelling events called attention to such opportunities. I argue that, likewise, art-based projects in the humanities call attention to the creativity – the making – involved in the humanities more broadly. The first storytelling event, Tailor Made (2017), comprised stories focused on the uniform as a model and the body wearing it as an actual bearing out that model.

This research model uses several stages, namely the analysis phase, the design phase, the development stage, the implementation phase, the evaluation stage. The results showed the difference in class average between classes using media and not using monopoly media based on HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skill). This is evidenced by the results of the t-test in which the number of t arithmetic (3,590)> ttable (1,708). So the result is effectiveness in the use of HOTS (Higher Order Thingking Skill) based animal and food material monopoly in grade IV SD 01 Kalicari.

The low level of students’ higher order thinking skills (HOTS) has been the main problem of education in Indonesia. This study aimed to determine the difference of students’ HOTS taught by using POE and Guided Discovery learning models. This quasi-experimental research involved 34 students of X IPA 3 and 32 students of X IPA 4 at SSHS 1 of Sungai Ambawang as the sample. The data obtained by using test which was analyzed using Mann-Whitney U-test. The results showed that the students’ HOTS who were treated with POE were significantly higher than those who were taught using Guided Discovery learning. Therefore, it is suggested to implement POE to improve students’ HOTS.

This study aims to determine the difference between Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) and Students Self Regulated Learning (SRL) before and after using e-module based on the 7E (elicit, engage, explore, explain, elaborate, evaluate, and extend) learning cycle on the buffer solution material, and to determine the percentage of its effectiveness. The research use a quasi experiment with one-group pretest-posttest design. The subjects of this research were students of natural science 11th grade in one of senior high schools in Yogyakarta. The instrument used were test in the form of HOTS pretest-posttest description question and non-test in the form of self-regulated learning questionnaire. The data analysis technique used is Hotteling's T2 test. The results showed that the significance value was 0.000 < = 0.05, then H0 was rejected. There were differences in students' HOTS and SRL before and after using e-module based on the 7E learning cycle. The effectiveness of using e-module show by HOTS and SRL simultaneously (36.8%), HOTS (25.2%), and SRL (20.5%).

The aim of this research is: 1) identifying the condition of teaching and learning in the classroom applying ECGV learning model; 2) comparing the improvement of higher order thinking skill when ECGV learning model is applied and without the ECGV learning model; 3) examining the efforts to improve the influencing factors of students’ higher order thinking skills. This study applies quantitative approach with a rationalistic paradigm. At first, this study described the condition of the controlling class, in which students were learning as usual, as well as experimental class carried out applying the ECGV model (Exploration, Conjecture, Generalization, and Verification). Different treatments were applied to the controlling and experimental classes to have the difference in normalized gain values to indicate an improvement of the achievement in this learning stage. The research results indicates that: 1) ECGV model is an effective learning model to improve skills within the learning process as well as students' thinking skills; 2) The ECGV stages should be applied from stages 1 to 4 accordingly, considering some factors that should be the focus for improvement; 3) Learning result indicated by in students' thinking abilities in the lower class increases greater than the higher class; 4) Some determining factors in the improvement of students' reasoning skills are found; class climate (environment, teacher and school), student psychology, and student intellectuals.

The conception of reflective reasoning, like that of higher order thinking, has been informed by a Cartesian view of the self. Reflection is conceived of as a solipsistic process, in which persons consider their own thoughts in isolation. Higher order thinking has equally been represented as a single thinker considering thoughts at a meta-level. This paper proposes a different conception of reflection and higher order thinking, in which reflective dialogue is seen as the fundamental context in which reflection is possible and higher order thinking engendered. The very process of dialectic defines what it is to be reflective and to think critically. Learning to reflect alone is a consequence of internalising the discourse.

<p><strong>Abstract:</strong> Thematic learning carried out in elementary schools has not trained students' high-level thinking skills as a whole due to the use of learning models that tend to be monotonous and make students bored. This study aims to determine the effect of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model on HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skillls). The research method used is quantitative experiments with the design of nonequivalent group design. The results showed that the teacher's implementation was sufficient in accordance with the syntax of the PBL learning model so that it could influence HOTS students. The difference in HOTS scores between the two classes is indicated by the average post-test scores. The use of PBL models should be implemented for students to be able to train HOTS students.</p><strong>Abstrak:</strong><em> </em>Pembelajaran tematik yang dilaksanakan di SD belum melatihkan kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi siswa secara keseluruhan dikarenakan penggunaan model pembelajaran yang cenderung monoton dan membuat siswa jenuh. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh model <em>Problem Based Learning </em>terhadap <em>Higher Order Thinking Skillls</em>. Metode penelitian yang digunakan yaitu kuantitatif eksperimen dengan desain <em>nonequivalent group design. </em>Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa keterlaksanaan guru sudah cukup sesuai dengan sintaks model pembelajaran <em>PBL</em> sehingga dapat berpengaruh terhadap HOTS siswa. Perbedaan skor HOTS antara dua kelas ditunjukkan oleh rata-rata nilai <em>post-test</em>. Penggunaan model PBL hendaknya dapat diimplementasikan kepada siswa agar dapat melatih HOTS siswa.
