Explore Teachers' Skills in Developing Lesson Plan and Assessment That Oriented on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)

Abstract

In 2018, the Indonesian Ministry of Education issued a new policy related to the development of learning oriented towards a Higher Order Thinking Skill (HOTS) approach at the primary and secondary school levels. This learning development is expected to be able to improve the achievement of Indonesian students in international competitions such as PISA and TIMSS. This program was developed following the policy direction of the Ministry of Education and Culture which in 2018 has integrated Strengthening Character Education and learning oriented to ‘HOTS’. Recently, the program is integrated into the MBKM program, where Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI) a university that produces educators decides to take a role in developing HOTS. This study aims to identify teacher skills in developing lesson plans and HOTS-oriented assessments. This is a case study research. A mixed-method design was used in this study as a way to analyse the teacher training process and the outcomes of the training. The sample of this research is science teacher at the sample school in Bandung. The results of the study show that the development skills of teachers' lesson plans are in the intermediate category, but not all lesson plans describe activities on ‘intermediate’ category. Therefore, further training and coaching is needed.

The Effect of Blended Project-based Learning Integrated with 21st-Century Skills on Pre-Service Biology Teachers' Higher-order Thinking Skills

“…To develop HOTS, students must understand factual, conceptual, and procedural knowledge to apply their practiced knowledge and then analyze the process to find solutions. Lecturers guide students through observing activities, forming concepts, giving responses, analyzing, comparing, and giving the necessary considerations (Yerdelen et al, 2015;Suwarma & Apriyani, 2022). In line with this, Wang et al (2018) stated that project-based learning is the ideal model for meeting 21st-century educational goals because it involves the 4C principles.…”

“…In order to realize the goals of MBKM, study programs are required to design and implement their curriculum through creative and innovative learning processes so that students can achieve learning outcomes covering aspects of attitudes, knowledge, and skills optimally so that the need for links and matches between the world of education and the world of business and industry are met (Suwarma & Apriyani, 2022). The study program designs curriculum by prioritizing the principle of relevance in an effort to prepare students to enter the world of work.…”

“…Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi siswa tergantung pada strategi pembelajaran berorientasi HOTS, bukan disebabkan oleh isi materi pelajaran (Sadieda et al, 2018;Tambunan et al, 2019). Kemampuan guru dalam memilih strategi pembelajaran dan merancang rencana pembelajaran sangat berpengaruh terhadap kemampuan HOTS siswa (Suwarma et al, 2022). Karena itu ciri pembelajaran berorientasi HOTS dapat diamati pada praktek pembelajaran di kelas.…”
