HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skill) is necessary for living in the 21st century. In this century, routine work will be charged to robots, while humans will be charged with creative work. In order to avoid being eroded by the times, HOTS needs to be developed even since elementary school. Therefore, there is a need for methods, strategies, or learning models that can improve student HOTS. Researchers conducted a study to test the effectiveness of implementing the RADEC learning model in improving students' HOTS in learning Insya’; the material translates the text, and how students respond to the learning model. The research method used is quasi-experimental, with the research design of a nonequivalent Control Group. The results showed that it took 135 minutes to implement the RADEC learning model in learning Insya’ material translating text in PP Darussalam. The improvement in higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) after receiving treatment is reported to be 49%, which is classified as a sufficient category. Nevertheless, the RADEC learning model is still considered more effective in enhancing HOTS than the classical model, and the participants' response to this model is highly positive, reaching 81%. Further research on the RADEC learning model, using an equivalent comparative model, is needed to strengthen its effectiveness in enhancing HOTS.
