Abstract

This community service activity aims to equip teachers at YLPI High School in Pekanbaru with the knowledge and motivation needed to develop test questions based on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). This community service activity was conducted based on observations made at YLPI High School in Pekanbaru regarding the teachers’ needs. They reported that teachers do not yet fully understand how to develop HOTS questions. Although they have received various trainings on question development, they still face difficulties in designing HOTS questions. Consequently, this also resulted in students being unable to solve questions oriented toward Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). Furthermore, a major responsibility of educators is to prepare students, so they become accustomed to and capable of solving such HOTS questions. Teachers are required to be able to develop HOTS-based questions and apply them in the learning process. Thus, it is hoped that this service project will provide teachers with the knowledge and motivation to continue striving to create HOTS-based questions for students and apply them in the learning process. Furthermore, this initiative can have a positive impact on teachers’ ability to design HOTS questions, and in the future, students will become accustomed to and find it easier to work on HOTS-based questions.
