Abstract

The rapid demands of 21st-century education require assessment instruments capable of measuring higher order thinking skills (HOTS), while classroom assessments in many schools are still dominated by lower order thinking skills (LOTS). This study aims to develop a HOTS-based assessment instrument on ecosystem components and their interactions at SMA Negeri 1 Tondano and evaluate its feasibility based on validity, reliability, item difficulty, discriminating power, and student responses. The study used a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the 3-D model consisting of define, design, and develop stages. The subjects involved 32 tenth-grade students and one biology teacher. The instrument consisted of 20 multiple-choice questions and 5 essay questions designed to measure cognitive levels of analysis (C4), evaluation (C5), and creation (C6). Data were collected through expert validation, validity and reliability testing, item analysis, and student response questionnaires. The results showed an expert validation score of 97.2 (very valid), a trial score of 77.25 (good), and a student response score of 89.87 (very valid). Item analysis indicated that most items were valid, reliable, and had balanced difficulty levels. The developed HOTS-based assessment instrument is valid, practical, and effective for biology learning evaluation.

Abstract

Biology education in high school has an important role in shaping students' science literacy and critical thinking skills. However, ecological material, particularly the topic of Ecosystem Components and their Interactions, is often considered difficult because it is abstract and not easy to observe directly. This research aims to improve student learning outcomes through the application of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model, which emphasizes real problem-solving, collaborative discussion, and active involvement in the learning process. The research uses the design of Classroom Action Research (PTK) which was carried out in two cycles in class X of St. Rosa de Lima Catholic High School Tondano involving 10 students in the odd semester of the 2025/2026 school year. Data was collected through observation of teacher and student activities, learning outcome tests in the form of pretests and posttests, and learning documentation. The analysis was carried out descriptively, qualitatively, and quantitatively by calculating the average score, percentage of completion, and student involvement. The results of the study showed a significant increase. The percentage of teacher activity increased from 58.3% in the first cycle to 87.5% in the second cycle, while student activity increased from 45.83% to 83.33%. The average score of students also increased from 70% in cycle I to 90% in cycle II, with classical completeness reaching 90%. These findings confirm the effectiveness of PBL as a contextual Biology learning strategy, able to bridge ecological concepts with real life, and increase students' curiosity, cooperation, and critical thinking skills.
