Abstract

This study aims to develop and evaluate Arabic teaching module based on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) to enhance students' critical thinking abilities. The textbook was developed using the ADDIE model (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate) and focused on reading skills. The sample included 18 students from Al-Hikmah Batu School. Data were collected through interviews, observations, tests, and documentation, yielding both qualitative and quantitative results. The findings showed that the educational materials, integrating HOTS components, were relevant to students' daily lives, covering topics like greetings, family, school, hobbies, and food. Expert assessments of content and media validity were high, with a score of 90.62%. The effectiveness test showed a significant increase in student performance, from 58.22 in the pre-test to 75.94 in the post-test. The paired sample T-test confirmed the statistical significance of the results (T = -10.050, p = 0.000), demonstrating the effectiveness of the HOTS-based reading textbook.

Abstract

Background: In today’s era, where critical thinking and problem-solving are vital competencies, the integration of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) into educational resources, particularly textbooks, has become an important benchmark for quality learning. Aims: This study aims to identify HOTS exercises in Arabic textbooks of Madrasah Aliyah class X published by Quadra in 2022 in terms of Bloom's revised taxonomy theory at the cognitive level of C4, or Analysing, C5, Evaluating, and C6 Creating. Methods: This research employs document analysis techniques (content analysis) within a qualitative descriptive approach to examine the object in depth using primary data. The researcher directly observed the book's content and analysed the HOTS elements in the exercise questions. These were then categorised according to the levels of the revised Bloom's Taxonomy, and conclusions were drawn based on the classifications. Results: The results reveal that although HOTS elements are present in each theme, they are relatively few. The distribution shows C4 (2.4%), C5 (5.2%), and C6 (9.1%), indicating a predominance of LOTS (Lower Order Thinking Skills) over HOTS. Implications: The findings imply the need for improvement and development of question exercises in Arabic textbooks to include aspects of higher order thinking skills (HOTS), especially at the C4 (analyze), C5 (evaluate), and C6 (create) levels, in order to support more critical, analytical, and creative learning in accordance with the demands of the 21st century curriculum.

Abstract

Idealistic philosophy positions reason, morality, and the human mind as the highest forms of reality. Within this philosophical framework, teachers hold a central role as ethical exemplars and intellectual guides who shape students’ character and behavior. This systematic literature review aims to synthesize scholarly perspectives on the roles, responsibilities, and expected characteristics of teachers according to idealistic philosophy. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, this study examined 16 relevant national and international articles published within the last decade. The analysis followed qualitative procedures involving data reduction, organization, and thematic interpretation. The findings reveal that teachers, from the viewpoint of idealistic philosophy, embody three essential dimensions: (1) Teacher obligations, which include moral superiority, mastery of knowledge, and the ability to foster active and meaningful learning; (2) Teacher responsibilities, involving guiding students’ intellectual growth, instilling ethical values, and ensuring that knowledge is translated into action; and (3) Teacher personality, encompassing integrity, intellectual excellence, communicative competence, and continuous self-development. Overall, this review highlights that idealistic philosophy emphasizes teachers as role models whose moral and intellectual authority significantly influences educational practice and student development.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop and validate a Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)–based assessment instrument for Arabic language learning using the Al-‘Ashri textbook for 10th-grade students at an Islamic Senior High School. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) design following the 4D model: Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. Several research instruments were utilized, including: (1) a needs analysis questionnaire and interview guidelines to identify issues in existing Arabic learning assessments; (2) validation sheets for material experts and linguists to evaluate content, construct, and language validity; (3) a HOTS-based test instrument consisting of 36 multiple-choice and 4 essay questions developed according to Bloom’s revised taxonomy (C4–C6); and (4) data analysis tools to measure validity, reliability, item difficulty, and discrimination indices processed using SPSS. Each instrument served a distinct purpose: the questionnaire and interviews gathered empirical data on field needs, the validation sheets assessed the feasibility and accuracy of content and language, and the HOTS-based test was empirically tested on 34 students to examine its psychometric properties. The material validation achieved a score of 94% and the language validation 84%, both categorized as “highly feasible.” Empirical testing showed that all items were valid (r-value > r-table = 0.338), with a reliability coefficient of r = 0.88 (high), item difficulty indices ranging from 0.15–0.85 (moderate), and discrimination indices indicating 38.89% good and 61.11% moderate items. These findings confirmed that the developed HOTS-based assessment instrument was valid, reliable, and effective for evaluating higher-order thinking skills in Arabic language learning at the senior high school level.
