Jumping task is a part of learning process on LSLC. Moreover, Jumping Task as the central part of teaching that uses Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) and in Indonesia, The 2013 Curriculum emphasizes learning using HOTS, and the daily life context. This research aimed  to find out the characteristic of jumping tasks which valid, practical, and also useful for supporting secondary school students learning algebraic form operation  using PMRI with the context of pempek. The subject of this research was seventh-grade students of secondary school in Palembang. This research uses PMRI as the content materials and contexts. Results of this research are valid ant practical jumping tasks on mathematucs topic algebraic form operation. Moreover, using context of pempek for jumping task, students can learning algebraic form operation.


Malaysia's achievements in the TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) and PISA (Program International Student Assessment) from 2007 to 2015 show a decline in the mastery of science and mathematics subjects among Malaysian students internationally (Shahril Sabudin, Azlin Norhaini Mansor, Subahan Mohd Meerah & Azliza Muhammad, 2018) [28]. Meanwhile, the science laboratory learning environment is found that can influence the student’s higher order thinking skills (HOTS). This finding is supported by Mubarok, Suprapto and Adam (2018)[21] who found that the investigative activities in the laboratory would influence the HOTS. However, there are still have no any studies that been found in Malaysia on the relationship between the science laboratory learning environment and the HOTS. Therefore, this study aims to know the relationship between of the learning environment and the HOTS among secondary school students in Kuala Nerus, Terengganu by using the quantitative method. There are two sections in the questionnaire form, which are part A regarding the science laboratory learning environment and part B on the student’s HOTS. The part A uses SLEI which was developed by Fraser et al. (1992) and the part B uses a set of subjective questions that was developed by the researchers. The researchers selected 89 students from two schools using a simple random sampling. The findings showed that there were a relationship between of the learning environment in the material environment and the student’s HOTS. The results of the study proved that the adequacy of materials and apparatus in science labs would enhance the student’s HOTS. The implications of this study enable the Ministry of Education Malaysia (MOE) to budget for the purchase of sufficient science materials and apparatus.

Higher order thinking skills (HOTS) is formulated for improving student critical thinking abilities. The aimed of this study is to develop students' worksheet based on higher-order thinking skills in learning English activities for fifth-grade elementary school students. This study used design and development (D&D) method and the ADDE models (Analysis, Design, Development, and Evaluation). The subjects were teacher and fifth-grade elementary school students. There were four topics of the worksheet were designed based on syllabus and student’s need. The students can use this worksheet to learn English by doing activities that train their critical thinking. Based on the content validity judgment, the students' worksheet was highly relevant. The quality judgment was conducted by four expert judges and 6 reviewers (1 teacher and 5 students). Based on the quality judgment, the students' worksheet was categorized as excellent media. Conclusively, the developed students' worksheet can be categorized as a learning medium that can develop students' higher-order thinking skills.

<p class="0abstract"><strong>Abstract—</strong>21st Century teaching and learning strategies related to the various methods used include the use of appropriate tools with the latest technological developments to help students to understand clearly about the content of the subject. Therefore, the need for the 21st Century teaching more focused on the development of students' higher-order thinking skills is increasingly urgent. This study aims to develop mathematics learning media based on e-learning using MOODLE (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) software on the geometry of the flat side subject to improve higher-order thinking skills among secondary school students. The analysis in this study is based on the ADDIE Instructional Model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The respondents in this study were three lecturers who are experts in the field of mathematics education, three teachers in the field of information technology and 70 secondary school students in Yogyakarta, Indonesia was selected using the purposive sampling method. The findings of this study have shown that mathematics learning media based on e-learning using MOODLE very suitable for encouraging students to use the mind to understand, interpret, analyze and manipulate information to find possible solutions for various problems, especially related to the geometry of the flat side subject. Besides, based on mathematics learning media based on e-learning using MOODLE able to encourage students to think, to generate new ideas, to focus and to be active throughout the teaching and learning activities. The results of this study are expected can be one of the teaching tools which can help in learning activities and a catalyst for the improvement of the quality of students' thinking.</p>

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa SMA berbasis Higher Order Thinking Skill (HOTS) melalui pembudayaan belajar dengan pendekatan blended learning dengan menerapkan model Blended Web Mobile Learning (BWML) dan aplikasi MoLearn. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian pengembangan yang mengacu pada Generic Design Research Model (GDRM) dari Plomp dan Nieveen. Untuk pengembangan aplikasi MoLearn metode System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) model waterfall digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Penelitian ini meibatkan 205 siswa sebagai subjek penelitiaan. Data penelitian dikumpulkan menggunakan instrument lembar validasi model, angket resposn siswa, dan tes HOTs siswa. Penelitian dianalisis secara deskriptif menggunakan persamaan reliabilitas dan n-gain. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa (1) model BWML dengan aplikasi MoLearn dinyatakan valid dan reliable berdasarkan tinjauan content dan isi, selain itu, berdasarkan hasil respon 205 siswa terhadap pembelajaran model BWML dengan aplikasi MoLearn, 83% siswa dinyatakan antusias mengikuti pembelajaran; dan (2) peningkatan HOTs siswa dinyatakan meningkat (rerata n-gain= 0,46) dengan kategori sedang. Hasil penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa model Blended Web Mobile Learning (BWML) dengan aplikasi MoLearn valid, praktis, dan efektif untuk meningkatkan keterampilan berpikir tingkat tinggi siswa SMA. The Development of the Blended Web Mobile Learning Model with the MoLearn Application to Improve High School Students’ Higher Order Thinking Skills Abstract This study aims to improve the learning outcomes of high school students based on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) through the culture of learning with a blended learning approach by applying the Blended Web Mobile Learning (BWML) model and the MoLearn application. This research is a development research that refers to the Generic Design Research Model (GDRM) from Plomp and Nieveen. For the development of the MoLearn application, the Waterfall Model System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) method was used in this study. This study involved 205 students as research subjects. The research data were collected using a model validation sheet instrument, student response questionnaires, and student HOTs tests. The research was analyzed descriptively using the reliability equation and n-gain. The results showed that (1) the BWML model with the MoLearn application was declared valid and reliable based on the content and content review, in addition, based on the results of the responses of 205 students to the BWML model learning with the MoLearn application, 83% of the students were stated to be enthusiastic about participating in the learning; and (2) the increase in students' HOTs was stated to be increasing (mean n-gain = 0.46) in the medium category. The results of this study conclude that the Blended Web Mobile Learning (BWML) model with the MoLearn application is valid, practical, and effective for improving high school students’ higher order thinking skills.
