Critical thinking and other higher-order thinking skills are key objectives of higher education. Through the development of higher-order thinking skills, students are able to discern information from multiple, often competing sources, make sound judgements, draw conclusions, and enact creative solutions to complex problems. However, faculty can struggle with how to help students develop higher-order thinking skills, relying instead on transmission of knowledge, focusing on what to learn instead of how to learn. In this chapter, the author provides insights into the connections between using gamification as a pedagogical approach, and the development of higher-order thinking skills. The chapter addresses perspectives on higher-ordering thinking, approaches to gamification in college courses, and concludes with recommendations for faculty in approaching gamification.

Development And Validation

Critical thinking (CT) is essential in many higher-order thinking skills and should be enhanced by higher education programs. The Model of Integrated Thinking Skills (MITS) was developed to help students developing CT, assist educators teaching CT, and satisfy the following three criteria: 1) completely and objectively describe CT, 2) distinguish CT from other skills, and 3) be used by all disciplines.  A validation survey determined how MITS is perceived with respect to the three criteria.  Most participants perceived that MITS meets the three criteria, suggesting that MITS can assist student development of CT.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan rencana pelaksanaan pembelajaran (RPP) tahap awal bahasa Jepang berbasis standar proses Kurikulum 2013 Revisi yang sesuai untuk SD di Bali. Penelitian ini menggunakan model pengembangan four-D dari Thiagarajan yang dimodifikasi agar sesuai dengan pengembangan RPP. Model pengembangan four-D dalam penelitian hanya dilakukan 3 tahap yaitu define, design, dan develop. Sedangkan tahap disseminate tidak dilakukan karena keterbatasan waktu. Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah guru pengajar bahasa Jepang di SD. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan angket yang kemudian dianalisis secara deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah (1) RPP ini terdiri dari bab 1 sampai bab 15 (2) dalam RPP memuat keterampilan 4C (Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, dan Creativity), HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills), PPK (Penguatan Pendidikan Karakter), dan literasi, (3) kegiatan dalam RPP memuat banyak permainan, (4) berdasarkan uji ahli dan uji coba menunjukkan hasil sangat layak.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui relevansi dari materi bahasa Indonesia pada buku tematik kelas 3 revisi 2018 dengan beberapa aspek yaitu ruang lingkup materi berdasarkan Permendikbud No 21 tahun 2016; HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills); 4Cs (creative thinking, critical thinking, communication, collaboration); literasi membaca-menulis; literasi digital. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan jenis analisis wacana pada materi bahasa Indonesia di buku tematik kelas 3 revisi 2018. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya relevansi antara materi bahasa Indonesia pada buku tematik kelas 3 revisi 2018 dengan aspek yang sudah disebutkan dengan hasil 46% materi sudah disajikan, keterampilan HOTS tidak imbang karena mayoritas critical thinking yaitu 66,7% dan decision making tidak ada, keterampilan 4Cs sudah merata meski critical thinking lebih banyak yaitu 40,5%, literasi membaca persentasenya 78,9% dan literasi menulis 21,1%, literasi digital dibahas pada satu bagian tersendiri yaitu pada tema 7 subtema 3 meskipun materinya masih tahap pengenalan. Secara keseluruhan materi bahasa Indonesia pada buku tematik kelas 3 sudah cukup relevan dengan aspek-aspek yang berkaitan meski ada yang masih kurang merata pada beberapa aspek.

This article explains the rationale for, the design of, and the implementation of business simulation episodes for eliciting a developmental shift from knowing to thinking in introductory accounting courses. Using business simulations this way responds to a long-standing need for learning experiences that create opportunities for students to work on developing the higher-order thinking skills required for success in business and the accounting profession. The needed capability can be characterized as critical thinking: the ability to solve problems that cannot be described with a high degree of completeness, cannot be resolved with a high degree of certainty, or elicit disagreement from experts about the best solution. This use of business simulation, illustrated with an episode from the Safe Night Out (SNO) simulation, immerses students in the life of an evolving business for which they develop a continuing stream of business advice based on the application of accounting principles. Emphasizing communication skills, alternative viewpoints, and the effect of assumptions on decisions, the simulation episodes demonstrate the usefulness and importance of accounting to business decision makers. The intent of shifting from well-structured end-of-the-chapter problems to more authentic work, like that in business simulations, is to develop higher-order thinking skills while generating interest in the accounting major and increasing the usefulness of accounting in the minds of nonmajors.

21st century mathematical learning emphasizes the importance of developing creativity, critical thinking, cooperation and communication skills. The aims of Mathematics are to trained students to think critically, systematically, logically, analytically, and creatively and have an effective willingness to work which is a Higher Order Thinking Skills. The development of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in learning is one manifestation of the implementation of the 2013 curriculum, so that learning and evaluation activities carried out should be oriented to HOTS. HOTS especially in mathematics was born from a continuous process and not only results oriented. A continuous and consistent process is needed to train and familiarize students. This should start from the beginning of the learning activities to take place until the completion of even the process of reflection and evaluation. Teachers must be able to facilitate students to become good thinkers and problem solvers
