Educating students for higher-order thinking provides them with tools that turn them into more critical thinkers. This supports them in overcoming life problems that they encounter, as well as becoming an integral part of the society. This students’ education is attended to by educational organisations that emphasise the positive consequences of educating students for higher-order thinking, including creative thinking. One way to do that is through educational programmes that educate for higher-order thinking. One such programme is the Cognitive Research Trust (CoRT) thinking programme. The present research intended to examine the effect of the participation of Grade 6 students in a CoRT programme on their creative thinking. Fifty-three students participated in the research; 27 participated in a CoRT programme, while 26 did not participate in such programme. The ANCOVA test showed that the students who participated in the CoRT programme outperformed significantly, in creative thinking, the students who did not. Moreover, the students in the CoRT programme whose achievement scores were between 86 and 100 outperformed significantly the other achievement groups of students. Furthermore, students with reported high ability outperformed significantly the other ability groups of students. The results did not show statistically significant differences in students’ creativity attributed to gender.

Outcomes Based Education

Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) brought about a significant paradigm shift in the education and training of learners in South Africa. OBE requires a shift from focusing on the teacher input (instruction offerings or syllabuses expressed in terms of content), to focusing on learner outcomes. OBE is moving away from ‘transmission’ models to constructivistic, learner-centered models that put emphasis on learning as an active process (Nieburh, 1996:30). Teachers act as facilitators and mediators of learning (Norms and Standards, Government Gazette vol 415, no 20844 of 2000). Facilitators are responsible to create the environment that is conducive for learners to construct their own knowledge, skills and values through interaction (Peters, 2000). The first critical cross-field outcome accepted by the South African Qualification Framework (SAQA) is that learners should be able to identify and solve problems by using critical and creative thinking skills. This paper seeks to explore some higher order thinking skills competencies required by OBE from learners such as critical thinking, reflective thinking, creative thinking, dialogic / dialectic thinking, decision making, problem solving and emotional intelligence and their implications in facilitating teaching and learning from the theoretical perspective. The philosophical underpinning of these higher order thinking skills is described to give direction to the study. It is recommended that a study focusing on the assessment of these intellectual concepts be made. The study may be qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods in nature (Creswell 2005).

Learning Arabic is more dominant as a skill than a Science. The learners’ goals are able to use Arabic both spoken and written well and correctly. While HOTS is more dominant in requiring learners to think integrally. Therefore, it is important to consider the extent to which the Ministerial Regulation accommodates HOTS through a study of the basic competence of Arabic contained in it. This study is a literature review of the basic competence of Arabic in the Decree of the Minister of Religion (KMA) number 183 in 2019 in HOTS perspective. The object of this study is the basic competence of Arabic in KMA 183 in 2019. The result shows the basic competence of Arabic in KMA 183 in 2019 to accommodate the ability in higher order thinking such as problem solving, critical thinking, and reasoning. While the Basic Competence in KMA didn’t achieve creative thinking and decision making.

The achievement scores of the Lebanese students that participated in the international exams such as TIMSS and PISA are unsatisfactory and they are not getting better with time. As a matter of fact, this is the case for many countries in the MENA region. In order to address this challenge, a precursor is to identify the main root causes for such a performance. For this purpose, this study aimed at examining whether a sample of Grade 8 students are able to demonstrate transfer of learning in the context of math and science. The findings showed that the examined students couldn’t answer the questions that require conceptual understanding or higher-order thinking; thus they couldn’t practice transfer of learning. An implication for this study is that transfer of learning is not something that happens by coincidence nor it’s something that can be overlooked.

This study aims to develop a valid, effective, and practical HOTS-based worksheet for calculus courses in the Mathematics Education Department. The development of the worksheet is expected to improve critical and creative thinking skills, which is implemented through the Online Learning System (SPADA). This research is development research with the research subject being 27 students of Mathematics Education, Muhammadiyah University of Makassar. The instruments used in this study were instrument validation sheets, test, and student response questionnaires. This worksheet development process is adapted from the model of development of the 4-D models, which consists of define, design, develop, and disseminate. The results of the validation assessment were an average score of 3.61 in the valid categories. The result of the lecturers' practicality at 3.6 with the practical category. Furthermore, the results of the effectiveness assessment through the HOTS test showed that the percentage of classical completeness was 86.7%. The students' responses showed a positive response to this worksheet. The assessment results showed that the average pretest was 46.85, while the postest was 74.81. There is an increase in the average value of higher-order thinking skills from pretest to postest in field trials. So it produces worksheets based on HOTS through SPADA that have met the valid, practical, and effective aspects and can facilitate students in practicing their higher-order thinking skills.

High Level

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).
