<![CDATA[The Coronavirus pandemic disrupted learning processes in higher education institutions in Indonesia, affecting the relationships and interactions between lecturers and students, and necessitating an understanding of the beliefs and strategies in evaluating Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) during the pandemic. Therefore, this study aims to examine the beliefs and strategies of lecturers in evaluating HOTS during the COVID-19 pandemic using e-learning platforms. This study combines quantitative methods to identify the frequency distributions of key factors and survey lecturers’ beliefs about evaluating student learning outcomes using a Likert Scale. Qualitative methods were used to analyze lecturers’ beliefs and strategies in evaluating HOTS through interviews. This study reveals that learning in the context of HOTS could still be conducted during the pandemic, although there were adjustments in using learning media from offline to online modes. This transition had been challenging for many lecturers, requiring trial, error and learning various available learning media. Initially considered a major problem, over time, lecturers had become accustomed to using technology to support student learning. Lecturers were very optimistic that online learning at the higher education level could be effective, despite requiring adjustments and learning new media, with strategies influenced by their beliefs, teaching philosophy, and the conditions during the pandemic]]>
