Teachers are under increasing pressure from government and school management to incorporate technology into lessons. They need to consider which technologies can most effectively enhance subject learning, encourage higher order thinking skills and support the performance of authentic tasks. This chapter reviews the practical and theoretical tools that have been developed to aid teachers in selecting software and reviews the software assessment methodologies from the 1980s to the present day. It concludes that teachers need guidance to structure the evaluation of technology, to consider its educational affordances, its usability, its suitability for the students and the classroom environment and its fit to the teachers’ preferred pedagogies.

This study aims to determine the effect of the application of the blended learning model to improving higher order thinking skills (HOTS) on thermodynamic material. The research method used in this study is quasi-experimental, while the research design used is Non Equivalent Design. Samples were taken using purposive sampling technique, with class XI MIA 1 as an experimental class and XI MIA 2 as a control class. The instrument used in this study was an HOTS test item in the form of multiple choice questions. Data analysis techniques using SPSS software to test hypotheses, and Microsoft Excel to determine the magnitude of the increase in HOTS. The results of the independent sample t-test showed a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.03. Large increase in the experimental class by 0.50 (50%), and by 0.40 (40%) in the control class. This shows that learning using the blended learning model has a better effect in HOTS than learning without blended learning.

This study was aimed to determine the development levels of higher-order thinking skills on students through the guided inquiry-based learning approach. The research method used was experimental, with true empirical design research. The sample selection was performed by random sampling technique. Data was collected through five tests of essay forms in accordance with various indicators of higher-order thinking abilities, including analysing (C4), evaluating (C5) and creating (C6). The results of this study indicated that the percentage of higher-order thinking ability in the experimental class was 86%, while in the control class was lower, at 79.3%. Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that students with higher-order thinking skills taught through this guided inquiry-based learning were superior compared to those taught by conventional learning.AbstractThis study was aimed to determine the development levels of higher-order thinking skills on students through the guided inquiry-based learning approach.

<p>This study aims to: (1) find out the use of the Index Card Match method in mathematics; (2) determine the students’ ability of mathematics critical thinking with Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS); (3) determine whether there is an influence of the use of Index Card Match method to the students’ ability of mathematics critical thinking with HOTS. This study uses the pre-experimental method with one group for the pretest-posttest design. The population in this study was all students of Senior High School in Kadugede, Kuningan, West Java, totaling 1008 students. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The sample of this study was taken from two classes from class VII D as a control class with 37 students and class VII E as an experimental class with 38 students. The test instruments used were multiple-choice questions. Tests were given at the initial test (pretest) and final test (posttest). The testing data were analyzed using the independent samples t-test which has previously been tested for normality and homogeneity. The results of this study indicate: (1) the use of the Index Card Match method in mathematics learning in the experimental class was positively well and students looked serious and enthusiastic in following the teaching and learning process; (2) The students’ ability of mathematics critical thinking by using the Index Card Match method increased both in the experimental and control classes; (3) There was an influence of the use of the Index Card Match method in students' ability of mathematics critical thinking oriented to HOTS.</p>

This study aimed to determine the effect of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model on tenth grade students’ higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) in ecosystem concept. The design of this study was quasi experimental research with "nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group design". The population of this study was X grade students in Senior High School (SHS) Kandangan, South Kalimantan. The sample were chosen through random sampling technique. The sample will be tested for equivalence based on the data of from the report card from the first semester. The instrument of data collection is students' HOTS rubric that developed by Hart (1994) with a range of scores for each question ranging from 0 to 4. One way analysis of variance (anava) was used as hypothesis test in this study. The result showed that PBL learning model had a positive effect on HOTS. It can be seen from the average of HOTS level of control class was 28.40 and treatment class was 36,23 and seen from F value = 20.97 whereas F table = 0.05 means F arithmetic > F table.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the 5K-based Synectic model to improve the higher-order thinking skills of elementary school students. The type of research method used is a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design and a one-group pretest-posttest design with a control group design. The sample used was 127 grade V elementary school students in the District of Kebayoran Lama who were selected by purposive sampling technique. The results of this study prove that the application of the 5K-based synectic model obtained a significant value so that it is effectively used in improving the higher-order thinking skills of elementary school students. This model can help students develop creative reasoning to solve problems, store new information, assist in producing writing, and explore social and disciplinary problems to improve their high-order thinking skills. This research can be used as input for education practitioners, especially teachers in developing learning that adapts to the needs of the times and can develop students' reasoning.

This type of research was quasi-experiment with pretest and post-test control group design. The study population was all students of class XI IPA SMAN 1 Jayapura. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling. The selected classes were XI IPA-3 as an experimental class and class XI IPA-5 as a control class. Data collection instruments were tests based on higher-order thinking skills and questionnaires to collect students’ responses. Data analysis was done by t-test, N-gain, and effect size for data collecting from test data while data from questionnaires were analyzed by descriptive qualitative analysis. It was concluded that the model is effective to apply in physics learning to preserve students’ conceptual understanding and improve students’ higher-order thinking skills. Further study on GEM-CL to other cultural practices and physics chapter in Indonesia would would strengthen this learning model.
