Abstract

The aim of this research was to find out whether or not the students’ reading ability improved through High Order Thinking Skill (HOTS) for the X grade students of SMAN 2 Kalukku. The method was used was quantitative method. The instrument used to collect the data was reading test. The number of test consisted of 15 and the form is multiple choices. The population of this research was the grade of X students of SMAN 2 Kalukku. The number of the population was 119. The sample of this research was X IPS 1, the number of the students was 27. In analyzing the data collected through quantitative analysis. The result of this research was the applying of HOTS can improved the students’ reading ability for the X grade students of SMAN 2 Kalukku. It is supported by the result of the test which given for the students after given treatment. The result showed that there was an enhancement significantly between pre-test and post-test. The mean score of pre-test is 64.59 while post-test is 83.00. The result of the t-test analysis is 16.883 than t-table value was 2.056. It showed that the t-test value was greater than the t-table value (16.883 > 2.056). Keywords: High Order Thinking Skill (HOTS), Quantitative research, and Reading Skills

Abstract

This classroom action research aimed to improve students’ logical thinking skills in mathematics learning through the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model at MIN Payaseunara. The study was conducted in two cycles consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The participants were 28 fifth-grade students. Data were collected using logical thinking skill tests, observation sheets of teacher and student activities, and field notes. The indicators of logical thinking measured included reasoning ability, problem analysis, systematic solution planning, and conclusion drawing. The findings showed a significant improvement in students’ logical thinking skills after the implementation of PBL. In the pre-cycle stage, the average score of students’ logical thinking ability was 59.21, with only 39.29% of students achieving the minimum mastery criterion. After the implementation of PBL in Cycle I, the average score increased to 70.46 and learning mastery improved to 67.86%. Furthermore, Cycle II demonstrated a more substantial improvement, with the average score reaching 82.14 and mastery learning increasing to 89.29%. Observation results also indicated that teacher activity improved from 72.50% in Cycle I to 90.00% in Cycle II, while student learning activity increased from 68.75% to 88.50%. These results confirm that the PBL model effectively enhances students’ logical thinking skills by encouraging active engagement, collaborative problem-solving, and structured reasoning processes. Therefore, Problem-Based Learning can be recommended as an effective instructional strategy to improve logical thinking competence in elementary mathematics education.
