The Covid-19 pandemic is happening globally. The spread of the Covid-19 virus is so fast that it has finally caused major changes, especially in the world of education. Learning that was originally carried out face-to-face has now changed to learning from home. Early childhood who are growing and developing in the Covid-19 pandemic are included in the Alpha generation category. Alpha generation children are known as a digital natives. Since birth, Alpha generation children have a close relationship with the presence of technology. During the Covid-19 pandemic, technology was used for learning. Learning activities at home by float or do paper and pencil activities such as thickening letters make Alpha generation children tend to get bored easily. Alpha generation children like challenging activities by training their thinking power to be creative in getting things done. Based on the literature study conducted in this study, appropriate learning for Alpha generation children is STEAM-based learning. STEAM is integrated learning from the branches of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. STEAM-based learning is carried out by scientific inquiry. STEAM scientific investigations such as exploring, analyzing, and creating. Scientific investigations require children to use higher-order thinking skills in solving problems carried out by direct activities (hands-on minds on approach). This aims to encourage children to think critically, analytically, creatively, and innovatively and solve problems.Keywords: Covid-19, Alpha Generation, STEAM,

As schools provide the academic environment for students’ development, students still go through entrance examinations for them to bridge that gap from high school to their course choice in college. This paper determined the effect of the core subject’s achievement and the College Scholastic Achievement Test (CSAT) performance of students in English, Science and Mathematics for four school years to create a medium-term development plan for a college entrance exam program of a private high school in Southern Philippines. Results on the descriptive mean determined satisfactory levels of achievement and CSAT performance. Students performed better in English based on their achievement grades and aptitude scores in CSAT when compared to Science and Mathematics. Through correlation analysis set at the alpha level of 0.05, it was revealed that there is a highly significant effect on the students’ academic achievement to CSAT performance. Concurrently, the overall extent of implementation of the program is very good with the areas on program design and program output rated as excellent. It is recommended that the school enriches curriculum and instruction and to maximize learning by focusing on higher order thinking skills. Furthermore, the said program needs to enhance on areas on implementation and cost-effectiveness. Students have varied thresholds in the different core subjects that need to be addressed well. Also, developing students’ higher order thinking skills that go beyond rote memory is necessary to improve competence and mastery in the subject.

During the thirteen years that I taught high school physics and mathematics, I found that my physics students typically came to class excited to learn. As in all science classes, they interacted with fellow classmates while performing laboratory investigations and other group activities requiring higher-order thinking skills. To create a similar experience for my mathematics students, I developed a laboratory investigation for my precalculus class. These students responded just as favorably as my physics students to hands-on data collection activities.

<p>This paper aims to describe integrated learning as a learning approach, which is suggested to be applied in order to develop multiliteration and higher order thinking skills. Multiliteration and higher order thinking skills are needed and must be mastered by the community so that they can actively participate in the 21st century civilization. In this context, education or in its operation is learning to be challenged to be able to develop skills. Based on the literature study, it was concluded that to develop multiliteration and higher order thinking skills, one approach that needs to be applied is the integrated learning approach. There are two things that need to be considered in the application of integrated learning. First, the teacher should formulate learning objectives to develop cognitive process skills at levels C2 through C6. Second, in implementing integrated learning, the teacher ideally applies learning models such as: discover, inquiry, problem based learning, project based learning, cooperative learning models, etc.</p>

The 2013 curriculum currently implemented in Indonesia is one of government attention to the educational world. One of the objectives of the curriculum implementation is the application of learning that is able to improve students' thinking skills which is generally called as higher order thinking skills (HOTS). However, conventional learning that is commonly implemented in Indonesia has not been able to meet the educational objectives. To solve these problems, a relevant learning model is required to improve students learning outcomes based on higher order thinking skills (HOTS). One of the appropriate learning models to solve this issue is the hands on activities investigation group learning model. This model is a learning model with a learning concept in which students are required to play a very active role in building their own knowledge through experiences encountered in groups that will be able to improve student learning outcomes based on higher order thinking skills. This article aimed to explain the ability of group investigation learning model based on hands activities in improving students learning outcomes based on higher order thinking skills. This research was quantitative research with experimental methods. The sample of this study was class X pis student of SMA Negeri 2 Pematangsiantar.  The results showed that group investigation learning model based on hands on activities was able to improve learning outcomes based on higher order thinking skills of students at SMA Negeri 2 Pematangsiantar.

<p>One element of the 2013 curriculum transformation at the elementary school level is the improvement of the learning process and the application of integrated thematic using scientific and familiar development of higher order thinking skills (HOTS) for students. To make this happen, elementary school teachers must have competence in planning, implementing, and evaluating learning that focuses on HOTS, but those who for the most part do not understand and apply. PKM is expected to be able to provide an understanding of teachers in conducting learning and encouraging students in higher-order aspects of thinking. The PKM was held at the teacher working group (KKG) forum which was held once for four meetings. The strategy used was an explanation of the HOTS concept, discussion of the development of indicators of basic competencies (KD), a lattice preparation workshop and problem solving rules, and preparation of questions that support HOTS. From the results that have been done, it can be concluded that a small number of elementary school teachers have done learning and penances that do HOTS; This activity can broaden teachers' insights so that they can produce outcomes consisting of lattices and the development of HOTS questions on thematic learning that addresses the main areas of PKN, Indonesian Language, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, and Mathematics.</p>
