Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) is an ability that is closely related to reasoning that is not merely recalling, or restating, this ability focuses on the ability to analyze, make the right decision and solve a problem. Based on observations made, it is found that teachers have not been trained in developing HOTS-oriented questions on science content, teachers are still having trouble understanding questions based on students' cognitive level according to the latest bloom taxonomy. To develop the teacher's ability to prepare HOTS-based questions, training is needed to enable the teacher to create HOTS-oriented questions. Implementation of community service, in the form of training, discussion, practice and monitoring and evaluation activities.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh model pembelajaran struktural analitik sintetik terhadap kemampuan menulis permulaan siswa kelas 1 SD Negeri Sembungharjo 02. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah metode Quasi Eksperimen dengan Nonequivalent Control Group Design. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan 2 buah uji hipotesis yakni, uji t berpasangan, dan uji beda rata-rata kemampuan menulis permulaan. Dari analisis data diperoleh bahwa uji hipotesis kemampuan menulis permulaan berupa yang pertama uji t berpasangan pada kelas eksperimen diperoleh thitung -15,45 dan ttabel 2,0518 dengan kriteria thitung ≤ -ttabel maka Ho diterima. Sedangkan untuk kemampuan menulis permulaan di kelas kontrol diperoleh thitung -4,16 dan dan ttabel 2,0518 dengan kriteria thitung ≤ -ttabel maka Ho diterima. Uji t dua pihak berdasarkan perhitungan uji kesamaan dua rata-rata kemampuan menulis permulaan diperoleh thitung 3.065 dan ttabel 2.0211. dengan kriteria pengujian yang berlaku adalah Ho diterima jika -ttabel ≤ thitung ≤ ttabel karena perolehan nilai t hitung 3.065 berada pada area penolakan Ho yaitu -2.0211 ≤ 3.065 ≥ 2.0211 maka Ho ditolak yang dapat disimpulkan ada pengaruh metode struktural analitik sitentik terhadap kemampuan menulis permulaan.

This research aimed to know about writing mistakes involving capital and italic letters in university students' essay, especially capital and italic letters. The method of this research was qualitative descriptive. The data collected for this research consisted of writing mistakes involving capital and italic letters in university students' essay. The technique of data analysis adopted in this study was a constant comparison. This study found that of 62 essay students analyzed, there were 132 capital letter writing mistakes that were divided into seven types: 1) incorrect capitalization in the first letter of sentences; 2) in writing someone's name; 3) in writing the name of a lesson; 4) in writing title; 5) in the middle of sentences; 6) in writing abbreviation and acronym; and 7) in writing words that stand for abbreviation. Meanwhile, in italic writing, mistakes occurred only when students were writing foreign terms that remain written with an upright letter. This numbered to 123 mistakes. The results of this analysis indicated that there were still many common mistakes made by students, so in the future, there should be a follow-up so that similar mistakes do not happen anymore.

Curriculum 2013 integrates High-Order-Thinking Skills in the learning process. In primary schools, it has been implemented in 3rd and 6th grade. The activities require students to explore their higher level of thinking in viewing cases. Yet, teachers are not ready to develop any assessment integrated with HOTS, even for cognitive aspects. This research aims to develop a HOTS-based cognitive assessment instrument for third grade students of elementary school. The instrument consists of criteria, questions, answer keys, and scoring guidelines. It is a Research and Development (R&D) with Four-D model: define, design, develop, and disseminate. However, it is only conducted until the third step due to the Covid-19 Crisis. Four experts with major in elementary education studies are assigned as reviewers. The results show that it is developed by using Four-D model. It is also considered to be very valid based on five indicators such as design (0.8), diction and grammar (0.94), content suitability (0.88), completion (0.89), and practicality (0.81). Hence, it is suggested to be used with minor revisions.
