Integration of High Order Thinking Skills in Research Method Subject in University

Abstract

High Order Thinking Skills is the ability to connect, manipulate, and change the knowledge and experience that is owned critically and creatively in determining decisions to solve problems in new situations. In the 21st century or the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era, the learning model continues to change as a form of adjustment to the demands of the development of science and technology. The learning model that used to be still conservative in the auspices of LOTS (Low Order Thinking Skill) with the teacher / lecturer as the center of learning switched to the HOTS (High Order Thinking Skill) model by relying on reasoning, innovation and creativity to solve problems. So, the students become the center of learning. This study aims to design the shape of the HOTS learning model in the Research Methods subject. The prototype of the learning model is developed to be five steps / stages of learning, namely: (1) identifying problems based on observations of learning activities in schools, (2) selecting problems to study, (3) gathering information about the problems to be studied, (4) developing proposals, (5)presentation of proposals. The results of the study showed that the learning process of the Research Methods subject by applying the HOTS-based learning model would lead the students to form a critical attitude, increase independence and gain a lot of experience that are useful to compile scientific works including the completion of thesis preparation.

HOTS assessment in circulatory system learning: Validity, reliability, and item quality

“…This indicates that the problem is already at C4-C6 level, discourse, Tables, graphs and images work well in accordance with the context of the material, the question of using interesting stimulus (Sayan & Mertoğlu, 2020) so as to measure students' ability in analyzing, evaluating and creating. According to Arif et al (2020) high order thinking skills is a process of thinking in higher levels of knowledge develop from various cognitive concepts and methods and learning taxonomies, such as using bloom taxonomies. Judging from the above four aspects obtained an average yield of 87.54% from three experts.…”

Exploring Theoretical and Conceptual Frameworks for the Enhancement of High-Order Thinking Skills through the Study of Thirukkural

“…Each couplet is composed of two lines, with seven "cirs" or words forming each Thirukkural. The first line consists of four cirs, while the second line comprises three cirs, with a cir representing either a single Tamil word or a combination of multiple Tamil words (Anita & Subalalitha, 2019).…”
