Since Indonesia participated in the Program for International Students Assessment (PISA) and the Trend in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMMS) in 2000, the mathematics test results have never been satisfactory. Even until 2018, the results were still unsatisfactory. In other words, the test results are stagnant. To improve the results of these tests, the government has issued a policy of minimum competency assessment (AKM) or known as the Computer-Based National Assessment (ANBK). One of the tests in it is the provision of questions that are included in the Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) category, as are usually given on the PISA and TIMMS tests. Training for teachers in HOTS-integrated learning tools is needed to prepare schools or madrasas to face HOTS-integrated learning. The service partners are all teachers at MA Assawiyah Pringgasela Timur. The community service is on 7-8 August 2021, which 17 teachers attend. The method used is lecture and demonstration. The result of community service activities is that MA Assawiyah teachers gain knowledge about the basic concepts of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS), implementation of HOTS in learning planning, and measuring HOTS in students. This can be seen from the learning tools that have been compiled into the HOTS category.

AbstrakRendahnya kemampuan matematis peserta didik Indonesia dalam penilaian internasional disebabkan karena peserta didik belum terbiasa mengerjakan masalah berbasis Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). Salah satu cara mengatasi masalah tersebut ialah melalui pengembangan perangkat pembelajaran berupa lembar kerja peserta didik (LKPD) berbasis keterampilan berpikir tingkat tinggi atau HOTS. Mulai dicoba pengubahan bentuk LKPD menjadi bentuk elektronik seiring dengan perkembangan teknologi, yang mana bisa dioperasikan dengan memakai smartphone maupun komputer. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan LKPD elektronik berbasis HOTS pada materi sistem persamaan linear dua variabel menggunakan quizizz yang memenuhi kriteria valid. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian pengembangan dengan model pengembangan 4D yang dibatasi hingga tiga tahapan yaitu define, design, dan develop. Pada tahap develop dilaksanakan uji validitas oleh tiga validator. Uji validitas terhadap pengembangan LKPD elektronik memperoleh nilai rata-rata semua aspek (𝑉𝑎) sebesar 3,28 yang memenuhi kriteria valid. Dengan demikian, dihasilkan LKPD elektronik berbasis HOTS pada materi sistem persamaan linear dua variabel menggunakan quizizz yang valid. The low mathematical ability of Indonesian students in international assessments is because students are not used to working on problems based on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). One way to overcome this is by developing learning tools based on higher-order thinking skills or HOTS in the form of student worksheets. Along with technological developments, the LKPD is converted into a digital form that can be run using a computer or smartphone. This study aimed to produce a valid electronic student worksheet based on HOTS to learn the linear equation system of two variables using quizizz. This research is with a 4D development model that is limited to only three stages, namely define, design, and develop. At the development stage, the validity was tested by three validators. The validity test of the developed electronic student worksheets obtained an average score of all aspects (𝑉𝑎) of 3.28 with valid criteria. Therefore, a valid electronic student worksheet is produced based on HOTS to learn a linear equation system of two variables using quizizz.

The English language is the medium of instruction and knowledge deliverance in Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). This study looks into whether or not English writing skills affect the students’ performance in answering Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in the final examination of Molecular Biology (BIO615). The samples comprised BSc (Hons) Biology students from two consecutive semesters in two of UiTM campuses (UiTM Shah Alam and UiTM Jengka). Mean percentage between students answering the December 2015 and June 2016 final examinations in the respective campus was obtained and correlated with marks obtained in English for Academic Writing course (ELC550). The results demonstrated a weak correlation between students’ achievement in ELC550 and their ability in answering HOTS questions in BIO615 final examination in UiTM Shah Alam. In contrast, in UiTM Jengka, the moderate correlation was shown in Semester Sept-Jan 2015. The results of this study are hoped to assist biology educators in crafting appropriate and effective teaching approaches, especially in teaching complicated subjects as well as in strengthening English language proficiency.    Keywords: Higher Order Thinking Skills; Molecular Biology; English Proficiency; Bloom’s Taxonomy.    eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2020.
