 This research aims to analyze the application of problem solving learning models to improve students' higher-order thinking skills in science-physics learning. This research was conducted using a meta-analysis method. The steps taken are collecting scientific articles from accredited national journals in Sinta 1 to Sinta 4 relating to research topics, grouping journal articles, and analyzing data obtained descriptively. Based on the results of the analysis it was concluded that the application of the problem solving learning model can improve student learning outcomes by an average of 55.45 in the medium category. For the group of articles with the dependent variable creative thinking skills, critical thinking skills, science process skills, problem solving skills and metacognition abilities, all of which are classified as higher order thinking skills, an average increase of 56.65 in the medium category.

Developing critical thinking and problem solving skills of students are some of the important goals that every school must set. This study determined the effectiveness of non-traditional activities to develop mathematical higher order thinking skills of grade seven students. This study employed the non-equivalent control group experimental design, which involved 83 grade 7 students of Sawata National High School. There were two sections used in this study, the control group which the researcher used the traditional lecture activity and the experimental group, were the students exposed to non-traditional activities: manipulative activities, computer-aided activities, and reflective writing activities. The specific subject matters covered were the second-grading mathematics seven topics which are measurement and measuring of length, measuring mass/weight and volume, and measuring angles, time and temperature. The data were gathered using the multiple choice teacher’s made test in the pre-test and post-test. Prior to the study, the higher order thinking skills of the two groups had no significant difference. The result changed after the treatment was given. The study concludes that the used of non-traditional activities were effective over the traditional activity in the development of the higher order thinking skills of the students. The study recommends integration of non-traditional activities to develop the higher order thinking skills of the students.Keywords— Education, non-traditional activities, higher order thinking skills, experimental, non-equivalent, Davao City, Philippines

AbstrakSecara umum capaian ketrampilan berpikir tingkat tinggi peserta didik masih rendah dibanding negara lain. Untuk mengembangkan keterampilan berpikir  tingkat  tinggi, pendidik dituntut untuk menciptakan suasana belajar yang  mendukung  dan  menggunakan   strategi pembelajaran. Upaya meningkatkan ketrampilan berpikir peserta didik dapat dilakukan dengan meningkatkan ketrampilan metakognisinya. Ada berbagai jenis strategi metakognitif yang dapat dipilih pendidik, satu diantaranya menggunakan strategi pemecahan masalah (problem solving). Dalam proses pemecahan masalah, individu menggunakan kedua kemampuan kognitif dan keterampilan praktis, yang meliputi kegiatan metakognitif seperti analisis, sintesis dan evaluasi. Pembelajaran  berbasis masalah merupakan pendekatan pembelajaran yang digunakan untuk merangsang berpikir tingkat tinggi siswa dalam situasi yang berorientasi pada masalah yang nyata, termasuk di dalamnya belajar bagaimana belajar. AbstractIn general, higher order thinking skills achievements of learners is still low compared to other countries. To develop higher order thinking skills, educators are required to create a learning atmosphere that supports and use learning strategies. Efforts to improve thinking skills that learners can do to improve metacognitive skills. There are different types of metacognitive strategies that can be selected educators, one of which uses problem solving strategies. In the process of solving problems, individuals using both cognitive abilities and practical skills, which include metacognitive activities such as analysis, synthesis and evaluation. Problem-based learning is an instructional approach used to stimulate students' higher order thinking in situations oriented real problems, including learning how to learn.

This study examined the effectiveness of using classwide peer tutoring (CWPT) in heterogeneous middle school math classrooms to teach students in beginning algebra problem-solving skills. The literature on CWPT demonstrates its effectiveness with basic academic skills, but little research addresses whether CWPT can be effective for teaching higher order thinking skills. This study compared the effectiveness of CWPT with traditional independent student practice. Additionally, the performance of students at risk of math failure (students whose grade in math was a D or an F and/or who scored a stanine of 3 or lower in the math section on a standardized assessment) was compared with the performance of students not at risk of math failure. An analysis of the data indicates that both CWPT and independent student practice were effective strategies for helping students to learn beginning algebra problem-solving skills. Neither strategy was significantly more effective than the other. Students at risk of math failure demonstrated slightly greater performance gains than did students not at risk of math failure. Related findings indicate that CWPT was most effective with 14- and 15-year-old students. Implications for using CWPT for increasing students' higher order thinking skills is discussed as well as its use in heterogeneous classrooms and with middle school students.

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.

Abstract. This study aims to determine whether there are any differences in the students’ achievement of higher order thinking skills and the student learning outcomes through the application of problem solving learning assisted by smart chemistry applications on stichiometry. The population was 105 students of X MIPA SMAN 11 Banjarmasin. The sampling technique was conducted by  purposive sampling with 2 experimental classes and 1 control class. Each class consisted of 35 students. The method used was quasi-experimental with a nonequivalent control group design. The data collection was gathered using test and non-test techniques. The data analysis technique used was descriptive and inferential analysis techniques using one way ANAVA test.

<p><em>Teachers are always required to always update the changes that occur, so that learning is able to prepare students to face the changes that occur. One of the important things that can be done by teachers is to develop HOTS-oriented learning so that students become accustomed to critical thinking so that they are able to develop their creativity. The purpose of this study is to determine the concept of higher order thinking skills, aspects of higher order thinking skills, HOTS-oriented learning characteristics. The results of this study are: Higher order thinking skills are thinking skills that are not just remembering, restating, and also referring without processing, but thinking skills to examine information critically, creatively, and able to solve problems, Skill-oriented learning higher order thinking is learning that involves 3 (three) aspects of higher order thinking skills, namely: transfer of knowledge, critical and creative thinking, and problem solving. The characteristics of HOTS-oriented learning must make students active in thinking.</em></p>
