Meningkatkan kemampuan menyusun soal IPA berorientasi HOTS bagi guru Sekolah Dasar Gugus Pandanaran Dabin IV UPTD Semarang Tengah

Abstract

AbstrakKemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi mengajarkan siswa untuk mampu mengaplikasikan kemampuan yang mereka miliki dalam menghadapi permasalahan yang ada dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) merupakan suatu kemampuan yang erat kaitannya dengan penalaran yang bukan hanya sekedar mengingat kembali, ataupun menyatakan kembali, kemampuan ini menitik beratkan pada kemampuan untuk menganalisis, membuat keputusan yang tepat dan memecahkan suatu masalah. Berdasarkan observasi yang dilakukan ditemukan permasalahan guru belum terlatih mengembangkan soal-soal yang berorientasi HOTS pada muatan IPA, guru masih kesulitan memahai soal soal berdasarkan kategori tingkatan kognitif siswa sesuai dengan taksonomi bloom terbaru. Untuk mengembangkan kemampuan guru dalam menyususn soal-soal berbasis HOTS maka diperlukan pelatihan yang dapat mengaktifkan guru dalam membuat soal-soal yang berorientasi HOTS. Pelaksanaan pengabdian masyarakat, dalam bentuk kegiatan pelatihan, diskusi,praktik dan monitoring serta evalusi. Pelaksanaan pengabdian dilakukan dengan mitra kelompok guru gugus Pandanaran Dabin IV UPTD Semarang Tengah yang bertempat di SDN Pekunden jalan Pandanaran 1 No.28 Pekunden Peserta terdiri dari guru-guru se-gugus Pandanaran sejumlah 50 peserta. Tingkat antusiasme dalam mengikuti kegiatan pengabdian sangatlah tinggi. Adapun materi yang diberikan saat pelatihan meliputi Pengertian HOTS, Karakteristik HOTS, Penyusunan soal-soal muatan IPA berbasis HOTS dan praktik membuat soal-soal berbasis HOTS. Kegiatan pengabdian berlangsung selama 2 bulan pada bulan Juli sampai Agustus 2019 dimulai dari observasi ke lokasi pengabdian, identifikasi masalah sampai dengan pelatihan. Dari kegiatan pengabdian yang sudah dilaksanakan ada harapan dari pihak mitra untuk menindaklanjuti kegiatan ini dengan kegiatan pelatihan penyusunan soal yang tidak hanya terfokus pada muatan IPA saja tetapi pada �muatan pelajaran yang lain.Kata kunci: Higher Order Thinking Skills; IPA; kelompok kerja guru�AbstractHigher-order thinking skills teach students to be able to apply the abilities they have in dealing with problems that exist in everyday life. 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. Community service is carried out with teacher groups of Pandanaran Dabin IV UPTD Semarang Tengan group located at SDN Pekunden, Pandanaran 1 street No.28 Pekunden -Pandanaran group of 50 participants. The level of enthusiasm in participating in community service activities is very high. The material provided during the training included Understanding HOTS, HOTS Characteristics, Compilation of HOTS-based science content questions and the practice of making HOTS-based questions. Community service activities last for 2 months in July to August 2019 starting from observation to the location of service, problem identification to training. From the service activities that have been carried out there is an expectation from the partners to follow up on this activity with the training activities of the preparation of questions not only focused on the content of science but in the grasp of other lessons.Keywords: Higher Order Thinking Skills; natural sciences; teacher working groups

The Improvement of Teachers’ Professional Competency Through Hots-Based Training

“…The results of this study are in line with the results of (Handayani & Amirullah, 2019), (Samo & Garak, 2020), (Sari, Cahyaningtyas, Maharani, Yustiana, & Kusumadewi, 2019) and (Rintayati, Istiyati, & Syawaludin, 2020) Which states that the existence of training provides opportunities and space for teachers to improve teacher's readiness and understanding in carrying out the learning and assessment of hots-based. The results of the T-test analysis provide information that training has a positive impact to improve the ability of teachers in preparing hots-based assessments.…”

The Quality of HOTS-Based Science Questions Developed by Indonesian Elementary School Teachers

“…Besides, the instructions of the question are also unclear: whether students are required to choose the correct answer from the list of incorrect answer options, or vice versa. Writing questions that are not easy to understand will make it difficult for students to work on the question (Hulukati & Rahmi, 2020;Sari et al, 2019). This aspect discusses whether the developed question is in accordance with the excellent method of writing the question.…”

“…Several training pieces have been conducted in Indonesia to develop HOTS-based science questions for elementary school teachers (Danial & Sanusi, 2020;Sari, Cahyaningtyas, Maharani, Yustiana, & Kusumadewi, 2019;Supriyadi, Rusilowati, Isnaeni, & Winarsih, 2019). In addition, there have also been many previous studies that examined the application of HOTS-based learning on science subjects at the elementary school level (Kumala, Setiawan, & Shaleha, 2020;Suratmi, Laihat, Asnimar, & Ela Okta Handini, 2020;Yasin et al, 2019).…”

Development of HOTS Science Test: Ethno-Science Technology Engineering and mathematics (STEM) based on Javanese Gamelan

“…Higher-order thinking trains students to think at a higher level (Sari et al, 2019). In line with this opinion, Haryanti and Suwarma (2018) also stated that these 21st century skills consist of several specific skills that will support an individual to be able to face the challenges of the 21st century.…”
