This study aims to determine students’ difficulties in solving Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) questions and their dominance due to the reading comprehension section at SMAN 1 Takengon. This study was delivered through a qualitative descriptive research design. Twenty-two students were elected to be research subjects based on purposive sampling. The instruments were documentation and interview. Data analyzed by adopting Miles and Huberman’s theory stepped into three-phase; data reduction, data display, and conclusion.  As a result, the percentages showed several students’ difficulties; first in making inferences about 48%, second, determining the main idea about 26%, third, in detailed information about 18%, last, in understanding vocabulary about 8%. In conclusion, the dominant difficulty is making an inference.

This study aims to describe information about higher order thinking skills in the evaluation of thematic learning used by grade IV teacher at SD Negeri 81 Palembang. This research is a qualitative descriptive research. The subject and objects in this study were the grade IV teachers and the learning evaluation used by the grade IV teachers. Data were collected using research instruments through interviews and document. The result of this study indicate that the evaluation of learning in the daily assessment of theme 1 is 4% HOTS and 96% LOTS, the daily assessment of theme 2 is 24% HOTS and 76% LOTS, the daily assessment of theme 3 is 20% HOTS and 80% LOTS, theme daily assessments 4 there are 16% HOTS and 84% LOTS and the mid semester assessment is 7% HOTS and 93% LOTS. So the learning evaluation used by the teacher is only a small part using operational verb (KKO) which contains higher order thinking skills and are dominated by operational verb (KKO) which lead to lower order thinking skills. Keyword: Higher Order Thinking Skills, Evaluation, Thematic Learning, Teacher, Class IV.

The purpose of this study was to describe the ability of university-level students in solving higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) problems with PISA level 5 standards in learning mathematics. This type of research is a qualitative description. The subjects used in this study were students of Sanata Dharma University, semester II Mathematics Education S1, as many as 15 students. The research instrument used was a test item with a HOTS level 5 indicator. The data collection method was obtained through giving tests based on the PISA level 5 indicator. The data analysis techniques used were data reduction, data presentation, and concluding. This research was conducted in March 2020. The results of this study are through the results of the description of the subject's thought process and the results of the analysis of the HOTS indicator achievement, questions with high-level thinking difficulties that are at level 5 cannot be solved by 15 research subjects. Of the 15 subjects, the researcher reduced the data based on the process carried out to produce three different groups of answers. In level 5 HOTS questions, six students have mathematical abilities that meet the four indicators.

<p class="Default">One of the serious mathematics problem faced by students happen when it relates to Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) type which is compulsary of 2013 Curriculum. The purpose of this research is to describe the analysis of these types of students’ mistakes in solving mathematics problem of linear equation in three variables which used Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) at SMAN Rambipuji Jember. The method used in this research is qualitative descriptive which describe the analysis' result on type of students mistakes based on Newman error indicator in terms of the students' cognitive level. The results showed that students with high cognitive level experiencing all kinds of errors with tendency to make a mistake on process error and  writing the final answer. While students with moderate cognitive level is experiencing four types of errors, they are errors to understand the problem, transform problem, process error, and writing the final answer. Students with low cognitive level experience three types of errors, they are transformation problem errors, process errors, and error in writing final answer with tendency to experiencing these three types of errors in problem completion.</p>

This research aims at finding out the influence of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS), vocabulary mastery and reading motivation on reading comprehension achievement among State SMP Students in Magelang Regency. This research was an ex post facto involving three independent variables; students’ HOTS (X1), vocabulary mastery (X2), and reading motivation (X3) and one dependent variable, students’ reading comprehension achievement (Y). The sampling technique was the proportional cluster random sampling. The research instruments were three tests and a questionnaire. The kind of validity of the tests was the content validity by experts’ judgment. The construct validity of the questionnaire was measured by factor analysis. The reliability of the tests was measured by Cronbach’s Alpha with the Alpha of HOTS test is 0.768, vocabulary mastery test’s is 0.757 and the reading comprehension achievement test’s is 0.716. The reliability of the questionnaire was measured by Cronbach’s Alpha with the Alpha is 0.862. The data were analyzed using the multiple regression analysis continued by the partial correlation. The result of the multiple regressions indicates that HOTS, vocabulary mastery and reading motivation influence reading comprehension achievement with the F=236.709 with the significant level below 0.05 which means that the three independent variables influence significantly on reading comprehension achievement. The Adjusted R Square is 0.653 which means that the reading comprehension achievement is 65.3% predicted by the three independent variables. The contribution of HOTS on reading comprehension achievement is 38.7%, vocabulary mastery is 50.3%, and reading motivation is 8.2%.

This study aims to present ways of implementing inquiry- learning model with the use of scientific reports to improve teachers’ understanding and ability on teaching biology at secondary level. The quantitative research method is quasi-experiment design with pre-test and post-test control group. The research instrument for collecting data of students’ higher order thinking skills is scoring rubrics for assessing abilities on developing and presenting a scientific report. The instruments for assessing teachers’ skills are teacher observation sheets over inquiry-based learning scientific report using an induction method. The research subjects consist of 4 biology teachers and 80 of grade 10 students from Public Secondary School 3 Samarinda.The teachers are all female; while from 80 students, 53 of them are female and the rest 27 are male. The students’ age ranges from 16 to 18 years old. The research lasted for 1 month.Analysis of data uses t test, that if toutcome is higher than ttable, the inquiry-based learning model using scientific reports does affect students’ higher order thinking skills. Data analysis is composed in tabulation format with several graded categories: inadequate, sufficient, good and excellent. The result of the study is that higher order thinking skills of students are increasing in numbers and more equal compared with classes taught by teachers who did not follow the inquiry-based learning model workshop and presentation. The inquiry-based learning model was applied via preparation and presentations of scientific reports after the students carry out practical activities through the guidance of student activity worksheets.

Higher order thinking skills (HOTS) is one of important aspects in education. Students with high level of higher order thinking skills tend to be more successful. However, do this phenomenon also happen in the learning of Mathematics? To answer this question, this research aims to study the relationship between HOTS and students' academic performance in Mathematics instruction. The research is conducted by occupying correlation research method on 41 students of mathematics education in university of Papua who had already completed 120 credits. The instrument in a test format for HOTS measurement has two main indicators; the critical thinking skill and creative thinking skill. Students are selected as research subjects, and are asked to do 9 questions of HOTS test in 60 minutes. The holistic rubric is used to assess the higher order thinking skills of students. The results of research show that these two variables have a high value of correlation (r = 0.814) and the regression equation is grade point average = 2,105 + 0,017 HOTS. Both of statistics show that there is a significant relationship between HOTS and students' academic achievement.
