This chapter describe a novel pedagogy for conceptual thinking and peer cooperation with meaning equivalence reusable learning objects (MERLO) that enhances higher-order thinking; it deepens comprehension of conceptual content and improves learning outcomes. The evolution of this instructional methodology follows insights from recent developments: analysis of patterns of evolving concepts in human experience that led to the emergence of concept science, development of digital information, research in neuroscience and brain imaging showing that exposure of learners to multi-semiotic problems enhance cognitive control of inter-hemispheric attentional processing in the lateral brain, and increase higher-order thinking. The research on peer cooperation and indirect reciprocity document the motivational effect of being observed, a psychological imperative that motivates individuals to cooperate and to contribute to better common knowledge. Teaching courses in History and Theory of Architecture to young architecture students with pedagogy for conceptual thinking enhance higher-order thinking, deepen comprehension of conceptual content, and improve learning outcomes; it allows one to connect analysis of historic artifact, identify pattern of design ideas extracted from the precedent, and transfer concepts of good design into the individual's creative design process.

In this chapter we describe a novel pedagogy for conceptual thinking and peer cooperation with Meaning Equivalence Reusable Learning Objects (MERLO) that enhances higher-order thinking; deepen comprehension of conceptual content; and improves learning outcomes. The evolution of this instructional methodology follows insights from four recent developments: analysis of patterns of content and structure of labeled patterns in human experience, that led to the emergence of concept science; development of digital cyber-infrastructure of networked information; research in neuroscience and brain imaging, showing that exposure of learners to multi-semiotic inductive problems enhance cognitive control of inter-hemispheric attentional processing in the lateral brain, and increase higher-order thinking; research in evolutionary dynamics on peer cooperation and indirect reciprocity, that document the motivational effect of knowledge of being observed, a psychological imperative that motivate individuals to cooperate and to contribute to the common good.

The atomic structure material has certain characteristics and difficulties, including the need for a lot of knowledge and analytical skills that students have. Therefore, students need to be given the right learning model in order to increase their interest and learning activities.The learning model that can be done is to carry out learning by applying a cooperative approach, one of which is the Team Game Tournament (TGT) type. The effectiveness of using the TGT model can be increased by providing question cards media. The question card media used in this study is a card containing Higher Order Thinking Skill (HOTS) questions that require students' higher order thinking skills.The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of using the TGT type cooperative learning model with the help of HOTS-based question card media on atomic structure material on higher-order thinking skills and student learning outcomes of physics education.Based on the results of research and calculations, it can be concluded that the provision of question card media in the TGT model on the atomic structure material is effective on student learning outcomes with Sig values. (0.028) <0.05, then there is a difference in learning outcomes so that it can be concluded that the experimental class is more effective than the control class. Supported by the highest lowest scores in the experimental group, namely 75 and 100 with an average of 90.02, while the control group was 65 and 100 with an average of 84.2.

<p>The role of taxonomy of objectives is considered to be one of the<br />most imperative elements in curriculum designing and drafting of<br />learning outcomes and objectives. Several educationists and academicians have regarded this model in facilitating learning achievement from lower level knowledge acquisition to higher order thinking. However, a few others have critiqued this phenomenon by reconnoitering its implications on segmentation of knowledge application into a hierarchical model, that may restrict learners, specifically in higher<br />education settings to limit their acquisition of a concept. Moreover,<br />students’ learning and motivation are hampered while undergoing<br />such an intensive, structured assessment of those learning outcomes.<br />This reflection brief will appraise and reflect in favour of the various<br />critiques established around the phenomenon of progressive Bloom’s<br />taxonomy and will briefly discuss the idea of reversing the level of<br />taxonomy in higher education settings to sustain student learning<br />motivation.</p>

  The purpose of this study was to identify how to improve higher order thinking skills (HOTS) in MTs students MTs. Swasta Al-Ikhlas Pangkalan Susu. This study uses a classroom action research method that uses several cycles that aim to improve higher order thinking skills (HOTS). Each cycle carried out 4 stages, planning, action, observation, reflection. In first cycle , the learning outcomes of class VIII MTs Al-Ikhlas Pangkalan Susu are still low, from 26 students, 20 students complete or 76.9%, while  6  students  or  23.1%  have  not  achieved  complete  learning  with  an  average  score  73.  In  the second cycle after making improvements in the first cycle, it can be seen that the learning outcomes of class VIII students at MTs Swasta Al-Ikhlas Pangkalan Susu have reached minimum completeness (KKM 70) with an average value of 76. From the results of research conducted by researchers, using the Andragogy Method in the learning process can improve students' higher order thinking skills (HOTS). This can be seen from the improvement indicators from the results of the research first cycle to second cyclecontinue to increase. There was an increase in student learning outcomes, which was originally the average score in the first cycle test of 73 and the second cycle of 76 increased by a difference of 3. This indicates that student learning outcomes are increasing and are included in the very high category.
