This study aims to figure out how students implement their analyzing skill as seen from their activity in examining their peers’ narrative compositions posted in instagram. The researcher collected the data in the form of written expressions (sentences) by observing students’ analyzing skill processes when they examined their peers’ narrative compositions through comment feature in their peers’ captions. The findings showed that the activities of examining peers’ narrative compositions posted in instagram was belong to the real and meaningful transfer learning of near transfer. Next,  two students (middle and high achievers) could fulfill five out of eleven criteria of critical thinking skill. Furthermore, both students solved problems in their own compositions better than in their peers’ compositions. Unfortunately, the low achiever did not give any feedback comments to her peers’ compositions. Thus, she had not applied her analyzing skill yet. In short, the actual evidence of analyzing skill implementation when students analyze their peers’ narrative compositions posted in instagram is possible to justify. Keywords: examine, HOT skills, social media.

Hasil data penelitian menunjukkan rata-rata gainscore kelas eksperimen sebesar 5,75 lebih tinggi daripada kelas kontrol sebesar 2,6. Hasil data yang menggunakan uji-t. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari nilai t= 7,986 dan signifikansi dua ekor 0,000, sehingga p< 0,05. Hal tersebut membuktikan bahwa terdapat pengaruh model discovery learning berbasis higher order thinking skill terhadap kemampan berpikir kritis.Kata Kunci : Discovery Learning, Higher Order Thinking Skill, Berpikir kritisABSTRACTElementary school social studies learning becomes boring learning, because teachers have not applied innovative models, methods, and learning strategies. The teacher also only trains students to memorize social science concepts, not to train critical thinking. Discovery learning as one of the learning models has the advantage of activating students. The stages of the discovery learning model support students to think critically. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of discovery learning models based on higher order thinking skills on critical thinking skills. This research is a quasi-experimental type, with a Non Equivalent Control Group Design. The experimental class applies the discovery learning model based on the Higher Order Thinking Skill, while the control class applies the assignment and discussion model based on the Higher Order Thinking Skill. This study uses a population of class V SDN Banyu Urip IX Surabaya. Two classes were chosen by random sampling as a research sample. Class V-A numbered 32 students as an experimental class. Class V-B totaling 30 students as a control class. The instruments of this study used 4 questions (pretest and posttest) in the form of essays. Data collection techniques used scoring of the results of the pretest and posttest. T test is used to test the results of research data. The results of the research data show that the average gaincore of the experimental class was 5.75 higher than the control class of 2.6. The results of data using the t-test. This can be seen from the value of t = 7.986 and the significance of two tails is 0.000, so that p <0.05. This proves that there is an influence of discovery learning model based on higher order thinking skills on critical thinking skills.Keywords: Discovery Learning, Higher Order Thinking Skill, Critical Thinking

Abstrak: Dewasa ini, critical thinking atau yang lebih dikenal dengan keterampilan berpikir kritis menjadi topik yang sering dibahas karena merupakan kemampuan yang mutlak dimiliki di era milenial ini. Terlebih pada bidang pendidikan, mulai dari tingkat sekolah dasar, sekolah menengah, sampai di tingkat pendidikan tinggi. Pendidikan sudah tidak relevan lagi jika masih mengajarkan anak dengan sistem menghafal materi-materi sehingga pembelajaran hanya fokus pada mengingat saja. Padahal, yang lebih penting adalah peserta didik memahami, menganalisis, mengevaluasi, atau bahkan menciptakan berbagai macam pemecahan masalah dari berbagai masalah yang ada pada materi-materi pembelajaran. Kreativitas merupakan hal yang sangat penting di sini. Melatih anak untuk berpikir kritis terhadap sesuatu dan menawarkan solusi yang masuk akal perlu dijadikan titik fokus pembelajaran bahkan penilaian. Oleh karena itu, mengingat pentingnya keterampilan berpikir kritis ini, peneliti mencoba untuk memaparkan karakteristik keterampilan berpikir kritis pada pembelajaran Mata Kuliah Fonologi yang dilaksanakan oleh mahasiswa semester II. Karakteristik ini meliputi soal yang digunakan dalam evaluasi pembelajaran dan juga hasil evaluasi yang didapatkan. Dengan demikian, diharapkan dapat menghasilkan gambaran keterampilan berpikir kritis pada pengaplikasian pembelajaran di kelas.  Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan masih rendahnya keterampilan berpikir kritis mahasiswa ketika mengerjakan soal-sal HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills). Kata Kunci: berpikir kritis, evaluasi pembelajaran, HOTS   Abstract: Nowadays, critical thinking or better known as critical thinking skills is a topic that is often discussed because it is an absolute ability to have in this millennial era. Especially in the field of education, starting from the elementary school level, secondary school, up to the level of higher education. Education is no longer relevant if it still teaches children with a system of memorizing materials so learning only focuses on remembering it. In fact, what is more important is students understand, analyze, evaluate, or even create various kinds of problem solving from various problems that exist in learning materials. Creativity is very important here. Train children to think critically about something and offer solutions that make sense need to be the focal point of learning and even assessment. Therefore, given the importance of this critical thinking skill, the researcher tries to explain the characteristics of critical thinking skills in the learning of Phonology Courses conducted by the second semester students. These characteristics include the questions used in the evaluation of learning and also the evaluation results obtained. Thus, it is expected to produce a picture of critical thinking skills in the application of learning in the classroom. The results of this study indicate that students' critical thinking skills are still low when working on HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills) questions. Keywords: critical thinking, evaluation of learning, HOTS
