Learning Activities in Higher Order Thinking Skill (Hots) Oriented Learning Context

Abstract

The development of 21st century life requires the higher-level thinking ability developmental for learners. HOTS learning is characterized by; 1) Analysis, Evaluation and Creating, 2) Logical reasoning, 3) Consideration and critical thinking, 4) Problem Solving and Creative Thinking. One effort that can be done by educators to develop higher-level thinking ability for learners is by facilitating learners to do Advanced Learning Activities (ABL) that include: 1) processing/ analyzing, 2) Communicating/ dialogue, 3) discuss/ collaborate, 4) presents/ constructs. ABL is a continuation of Basic Learning Activities which includes; 1) Observing (combination of seeing and hearing), 2) trying/ questioning, 3) searching/ collecting. Therefore, in learning, educators should be more focused on giving learners space to do ABL while still allowing time for ABD as a warm-up activity or initial activity (Schaffolding). The way that can be done as a trigger of Advanced Learning Activities is to present more questions/ tasks/ problems on high cognitive level that is C4, C5, and C6 in every learning. High-level questions/ tasks/ problems will also encourage learners to dialogue and discuss so that collaboration in learning will be created.
 Keywords: Basic Learning Activity/ABD, Advanced Learning Activities/ ABL, HOTS oriented Learning

How to Apply HOTS-based E-learning in Higher Education?

“…This activity is carried out online using the help of zoom meetings, google classroom, and WhatsApp Groups. Completion of assignments independently to discuss lecture material contextually (Nofrion & Wijayanto, 2018). This activity is a continuation of previous learning activities to discuss textual lecture material.…”

The Urgency of HOTS-Oriented Learning and Assessment Towards Quality of Education in Facing Indonesia Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030

“…HOTS is seen as a thoughtful function of the mind's ability to solve challenging situations [28][29]. According to Nofrion and Wijayanto [30], HOTS learning is learning that develops students' higher-order thinking skills, which is more than just the ability to memorize/remember, restate, remember and refer without scientific reason (reading). Questions, assignments and problems in learning are useful for:  Transmitting one notion to another,  Processing and applying an information,  Looking for relations from various sources,  Using the information to solve the problem,  Critically reviewing ideas and information.…”

Metode Jumping Task untuk Mengembangkan Keterampilan Berpikir Tingkat Tinggi (HOTS) dalam Pembelajaran

“…(1) mengintegrasikan informasi; (2) menggeneralisasi kasus demi kasus menjadi suatu solusi yang umum; (3) memformulasikan masalah dunia nyata ke dalam konsep mata pelajaran; dan (4) melakukan investigasi. Soal-soal Jumping Task akan merangsang siswa untuk melakukan berbagai pengalaman dan aktivitas belajar terutama aktivitas belajar lanjut seperti menganalisis, berdiskusi, berdialog, mengkomunikasikan dan berkolaborasi (Nofrion & Wijayanto, 2018;Kasman, 2019;Nofrion, 2017).…”
