Technologies have a potential to make learning more dynamic and capable of going conventional learning limits. With the utilization of online technologies for example, students can interact with teachers and other students, regardless of time and distance. The learning process can likewise happen in synchronize or asynchronies. Meaningful interaction is required in the Socratic method of learning because this is the concept of learning through question after question to build knowledge. The dialog collaboration, inquiries are either verbal or non-verbal. So this is where online innovation comes into the picture and allows students to always dialogue with certain individuals to construct new knowledge. Next, by using the Socratic method of learning, the high level of thinking can be increased which is emphasized in the field of education in Malaysia nowadays. This paper will discuss previous studies about the potential of technology in Socratic Methods to improve student's level of thinking.

This paper addresses the question of how cognitive levels covering high, middle, and low order thinking skills are delineated in the questions seen from Bloom’s revised taxonomic framework and stimulus. To answer this question, the final-term examination questions from five faculty courses were analyzed through document analysis. The documented examination questions are categorized and reviewed based on cognitive levels referring to revised Bloom’s taxonomy. The questions are also construed based on the stimulus in each question. The results report that the cognitive level of tests is not wholly based on higher-order thinking skills. Of the five courses, only one follows the higher-order thinking skills-based question-writing system, and none of the items refers to middle-order thinking skills. Thus, the cognitive level on the test instruments has not led to an increase in thinking skills or is still at a low level of thinking.

One of the essences of curriculum implementation in 2013 is the application of high-level thinking skills-rotating learning ( Higher Order Thingking Sklills,HOTS). HOTS-oriented learning requires students to carry out active learning. Therefore, the teacher must be able to create active learning by presenting one of the teaching materials in the form of Student Worksheets (LKS). The results of observations show that the LKS used in public high schools in North Sumatra is still diverse, starting from the LKS made by the subject teachers and issued by the publisher. All of these LKS have also not been identified whether they already contain HOTS components in them. therefore, a component analysis research was conducted higher Order thinking skills (HOTS) on the material presentation Physics worksheets class X semester II at SMAN throughout West Sumatra.This research is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. The population of data in this study were all worksheets for high school physics students of class X semester II used by 34 public high schools in West Sumatra. The sample in this study is the highest number of SMA class X semester II physics worksheets used in schools published by three different publishers and two worksheets made by physics subject teachers.The research data were taken using the analysis instrument of LKS offerings and data collection techniques through documentation studies.Based on the research that has been carried out, it is found that the percentage of availability of HOT indicators in the form of decision making, critical thinking and creative thinking in each worksheet is as follows. LKS F X/II RZ-GR percentage of indicator availability LKS / IIX percentage availability of HOTS indicators respectively, namely, 23,34% ; 0,%; 35,52%; 22,88%. LKS D X/II RC-IP, 44,66%;25,74%; 44,42%;40,04%. LKS F X/II BK-VP , 16,86%; 8,58% ; 28,86%; 2,86 %.LKS F X/II G I, 21,66%; 2,86%;35,52%; 5,72% and LKS F X/II GII, 28,31%; 11,44%; 33,3% ;17,16%. From the entire LKS F X/II RC-IP Has the highest percentage indicator. From this data, it can be concluded that the percentage of availability of HOTS indicators in the presentation of the contents of the Class X Semester II Physics Worksheets at Senior High Schools throughout West Sumatra is still low, with the category not yet facilitating.Keywords : Analysis, worksheet, High Order Thinking Skills (HOTS).
