Do So

One of the continuous challenges faced by the contemporary Muslims is their ability to accommodate the understanding of the religion of Islam with the ever-changing context of the modern world. In order to do so, there is a great need for the Muslims to understand the sources of religion, particularly the Qur’an and hadith, through a higher framework of thinking. This can only happen if the curriculum for the Islamic education is inclusive of the higher order thinking instruments. The pertinent question which arises is what are the elements of the higher order thinking needed in understanding religious matters? This paper analyses the Transformation Plan embarked by Malaysian government which places higher order thinking as an instrumental element in improving the overall educational system including Islamic Education. In also identifies the challenges that occur in implementing this plan. More specifically, it examines the parallelism between the taxonomy used in assessing higher order thinking in the West and the content of Islamic Education. Finally it proposes some adjustments in enhancing the application of higher order thinking in the field of Islamic education.

Technology Migration

Globalisation, technology, migration, competition, changing markets and transnational environmental and political challenges have added a new urgency to develop the skills and knowledge needed in the 21st century. Educators, governments, foundations, employers and researchers refer to these abilities as ‘higher-order thinking skills' ‘deeper learning outcomes' and ‘complex thinking and communication skills'. We need to understand how students today are different from those of yesteryears. Although everyone believes that the knowledge and skills that students need today are different from what they needed yesterday, terminology differs from country to country, as does the composition of knowledge, skills and values. This chapter is broadly divided into four sections. The main objectives of the narrative are to understand the growth and evolution of teaching, to develop an understanding of the differences between the teaching of the East and that of the West, to explore teaching as an art and a skill and finally to prepare ourselves for the burgeoning demands of digital-age teaching.

Higher order thinking skills (HOTS) is a necessity for teachers and students today. But, HOTS applications often referred to the western worldview. However, studies had shown some elements found in the Qur'an that can lead to the HOTS approach and one of them is tadzakkur. Tadzakkur is a very proximate element to an Islamic Education teacher (IET) and becomes a practice in IET’s teaching. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to introduce a tadzakkur approach which should be addressed by the teachers especially IETs. Using a qualitative method through document analysis, some papers, articles and books were analysed. The findings showed that tadzakkur approach is a very relevant and appropriate approach and must be implemented seriously by IETs to produce the rabbani and ta'dib generation.

Islamic education must give birth to individuals who have positive behavior according to the goals of education itself. One figure of Islamic education thought argued that the purpose of education includes three aspects namely cognitive aspects which include the development of reason, such as intelligence, and power of thought; apective aspects include the development of the heart, such as the development of taste, heart and spirit and psychomotor aspects, namely physical development such as physical health and skills. These three aspects have a very close connection and attachment. By having good, critical and analytical reasoning, students will be able to find values ​​that internalize themselves, plunge into their hearts so as to produce attitudes and behaviors as a manifestation of the knowledge they have acquired. The ability to think critically and analytically requires a high level of reasoning known as Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS).

Higher Order Thinking Skills

The new curriculum (2013 curriculum) encourages implementing the higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) approach in learning Islamic religious education in each academic unit in Indonesia. This paper intends to study the HOTS implementation trend in the learning process of Islamic religious education in Madrasas and schools. The method in this study is a systematic literature review. Researchers found that this trend began to emerge after implementing the 2013 curriculum by the Indonesian Government, where the curriculum used a scientific approach. Teachers, educators, and experts' efforts in implementing HOTS in Islamic Education learning can be grouped into two categories. The first is that they innovate the HOTS-based learning process, and the second is those who develop HOTS-based assessment instruments. Several innovations in the learning process were carried out by applying various learning methods, models, and strategies. The application of HOTS-based learning in Islamic Education learning can improve learning quality to be more effective, efficient, fun, and meaningful. This improvement, then, has an impact on increasing the quality of learning achievement. This study provides highlights and helps to understand the results of previous studies that discuss HOTS using systematic reviews in the implementation of Islamic Religious Education in Madrasas and Schools.
