Teaching and learning through the use of tools is evolving in response to new developments in pedagogy that aim to enhance students’ high-order thinking skills. This paper presents results from part of a research project investigating innovative teaching pedagogy, engaging with active learning through students’ manipulation of apparatuses in a series of mathematics lessons conducted in a science laboratory. The findings of the study include illustration of the development of didactical interactions, a modified framework yielding multi-directional transitions of interactive activities. This serves not only to promote interactive learning activities, including various active forms of productions, but also embraces innovation in STEM education.

The background of the research is the low assessment of high order thinking skills of students due to the conventional methods used by the school. The aims of this study are: (1) how student learning activities when using hybrid learning Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) and jigsaw, (2) how student learning activities when taught using the direct learning model, and (3) the effect of hybrid learning Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) and jigsaw towards high order thinking skills. This study used a quasi experimental nonequivalent control group design with the sample of 50 students from a population of vocational high school students in Ponorogo. Data collection techniques used instruments in the form of high order tests and non-test instruments in the form of observation sheets. Data analysis used was independent sample t-test. The results showed: (1) the use of Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) based on hybrid learning and jigsaw made 28% of students were very active, 28% of students active, and 44% of students quite active in the learning process, this was evidenced by an average value of 70.56, (2) the use of direct learning models in learning made 24% of students quite active, 36% of students less active, and 40% of students passive in the learning process, which can be seen from the acquisition of an average value of 51.52, and (3) there was a significant effect of Student Learning Achievement Division (STAD) based on hybrid learning and jigsaw on students' high order thinking skills.

Modern educational pedagogies emphasize that teaching and learning frameworks should be designed to promote essential skills among students and develop their higher order thinking skills and the real-world application of those skills. In this milieu, service-learning is an emerging approach in education that best meets this need. Although much work exists on service-learning in developing students' social, moral, and citizenship potential, there is a lack of research that highlights the role of service-learning and its potential to promote high order thinking skills among pre-service teachers. This study attempts to extensively examine the role of service-learning in promoting high-order thinking skills among pre-service teachers. For this purpose, an integrated approach of Queensland University's higher order thinking guidelines was compared and contrasted as a framework with service-learning approach. The analysis and literature review showed that said the guidelines can be adopted using service-learning approach to promote higher order thinking skills of pre-service teachers. Therefore, the framework is proposed to be integrated into a service-learning course in higher education. The guidelines provide a five steps process for developing higher order thinking skills among teacher education students. The study results provide teacher educators with more practical ways to implement a more active and purposeful teaching and learning environment that encourages higher order thinking among pre-service teachers.

Covid-19 pandemic has not shown a drastic decrease in trend, so it is estimated that the new school year 2020-2021 students will continue to carry out their learning processes from home, or Learning from Home. A survey conducted by the Ministry of Education and Culture's directorate's assessment department, related to Learning from Home students in March, showed that 29% of students lack enthusiasm, 28% thought it was normal, which stated Learning from Home was pleasant 26%, 10% burdensome, and 7% others (boring, tiring, not communicative, not active). The condition needs to be sought a solution, one of the alternatives offered is the teacher or education unit using the strategy of learning activities Deep Learning. DEL is a process of learning activities that optimize and activate the work of the brain so that students do not experience boredom, and not excited. The final stage DEL is included in the domain of analysis and creates, allowing students to develop higher-order thinking skills or High Order Thinking Skills (HOTS).

<p><em>One of the objectives of teaching and learning activities is to improve learning outcomes or student achievement. For this reason, it is very necessary for a teacher to do various ways so that these goals are achieved, including by applying various kinds of learning models that can increase the activeness of students in learning activities in the hope that this will also have an impact on improving student learning outcomes. How to increase the activity of students in low grades is a challenge for teachers because they see their relatively low cognitive development as well as the nature of boredom that is often faced by students in learning activities. An example of a learning model that can be applied to increase the activity of students in low grades in particular is by using the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model. With the application of this PBL learning model, students individually and in groups will use various thinking skills to solve problems, especially in learning activities.</em></p>

This study aims to explore a set of literature to clarify the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach and determine if the evidence shows benefits in implementing the approach into the English for Specific Purposes (ESP) curriculum. The paper took a literature review approach and explored ten articles selected with specific criteria of being published within2014- 2020. The literature shows that the implementation of CLIL does have a positive output toward the teaching and learning process, especially for those who take English for Specific Purposes, such as in Vocational High Schools. The approach improves not only the linguistics aspects but also the non- linguistics aspect of the students' soft skills, such as high order thinking skills, problem-solving, enhanced communication, intercultural awareness, and motivation in learning. However, to meet the success of the implementation of CLIL in the ESP curriculum, some considerations and special requirements are needed. The two distinctive preparation are the syllabus for the curriculum and the readiness of human resources; the teachers. Before applying the CLIL, the two factors mentioned need mechanisms that will support the success of CLIL for the ESP curriculum in Vocational High Schools. The writer proposes a model to be implemented if the curriculum for Vocational High Schools is going to apply CLIL. Yet, it needs more researches in the future to make sure whether the model works well or needs more improvements.
