Abstract

This research was carried by descriptive research method that analyzed the assessment instruments used by teachers in schools and analyzed students’ high order thinking skills in ‘Animalia’ material. High order thinking skills is the ability to manipulate information or received ideas and apply it to solve a problem. This research was conducted in Senior High School 8 Padang. The assessment instruments used to collect the data was test which require high order thinking skills in ‘Animalia’ material that had been validated by one of lecturers in the department of Biology. The test amounted 50 items consisting of 30 common multiple choice questions, 10 causal multiple choice questions, and 10 association multiple choice questions that are at the C4-C6 cognitive level. The results showed that the assessment instruments made by the teacher were still at the C1-C3 cognitive level. It is concluded from the daily test questions about ‘Plantae’ material with percentage of C1 by 13.3%, C2 by 50%, and C3 by 16.7% that did not meet the aspects of high order thinking. After testing high order thinking questions about ‘Animalia’ material, it indicated that students' high order thinking skills was still in low grade with a class average of 24.37. The strategy that can be used to improve students' high order thinking skills is to familiarize students with working on questions that require high order thinking skills.

Abstract

High level learning ability (HOTS) is the ability of students to be critical and creative thinking skills. In 2013, students were required to be able to receive information and remember it, but students must be able to solve the problems they faced with the knowledge they needed. Based on observations, the instruments used by teachers are still at the level of C1-C3, while for high-level thinking abilities students must be able to think at the C4-C6 level. This study aims to analyze the ability of high-level thinking of students on material changes in the environment. The assessment instrument used is an instrument of assessment of high-level thinking ability that is valid, practical, reliable and has good quality items. The instrument is said to be valid if the instrument can measure what should be measured. The practicality of the assessment instrument depends on how easily the instrument is used to assess students' abilities. Reliable means that the instrument gives the same results when tested in the same group at different times. An instrument that has good quality items is an instrument that has a moderate level of difficulty and sufficient differentiation, good and very good. Based on the results of the test questions, the average value of students is 41.37 which is still categorized as low. The low level of students' high-level thinking skills can be improved by familiarizing students with higher-order thinking and using scientific learning models.

Abstract

This research is an description  research which aims to see the influence of higher order thinking skills in biological learning  at SMAN 1 Nan Sabaris. Higher order thinking skills are essential for student future. The future demands the existence of an evoluation instrument to train student higher order thingking, not only the thinking skill in the lower cognitive domain, but also in a higher domain. One of the efforts to enhance higher order thinking skills is to engage studenta with the question integrade by cognitive C4-C6. The research analysed aspect of higher order thinking in an evaluation instrument. Evaluatio9n instrument used by teachers at schools are still in the C1-C4 cognitive level (C1 17%, C2 35%, C3 26%, C4 22%), the evaluation instrument are not eligible according to the standart applied. The low cognitive level obtained in the evaluation instrument used by the teachers is the reason of the low thinking level of the student.    Higher Order Thinking Skills, Evaluation Instrument
