Abstract

Higher-order thinking Skills (HOTS) are 21st-century skills that must be facilitated in learning. However, currently, teachers are having problems understanding and designing HOTS skills instruments. This research aims to determine teachers' understanding in designing HOTS questions and determine the integrity of teachers' knowledge with instruments prepared by Social and Science subject teachers. This research is a mixed-method study with an Explanatory-Sequential Approach design. This research involved eight teachers with varied teaching experience. The results show that teachers lack understanding in preparing HOTS questions where the average achievement is 66.4% in every aspect of preparing HOTS questions. Analysis of the questions used by teachers shows that teachers still use questions at LOTS level (C1-C3). The interview results were coded using N-vivo, teachers had misconceptions about the development of HOTS questions and had different understandings in developing HOTS instruments. Future research can facilitate teachers to develop teachers' HOTS Instrument Preparation skills through training or workshops.

Abstract

Many educators still carry out science learning by using books as the main learning material without using learning media. This affects student learning outcomes. Judging from the results of the acquisition of daily test scores of 8th-grade students at Muhammadiyah 5 Tulangan Junior High School with a percentage of 69% as many as 80 out of 115 students scored below the minimum completeness criteria of 75. Therefore, there is a need for media in science learning. This study aims to determine the effect of TikTok-assisted science learning on the learning outcomes of Junior High School students. The material used is the human digestive system in the 8th grade of Muhammadiyah 5 Tulangan Junior High School. The study used two classes selected by random sampling technique, namely the experimental class using the TikTok application and the control class using PPT. Data collection used pre-test and post-test tests with 25 items covering cognitive aspects C1-C6. The acquisition of the T-test (Independent sample T-Test) sig value of 0.000 indicates a significant effect on learning outcomes. The N-Gain value of both classes is in the medium category, but the experimental class is higher than the control class. The experimental class obtained a value of 0.62 while the control class obtained a value of 0.36. It is concluded that learning science using the TikTok application has a positive effect on the learning outcomes of Junior High School students. However, educators must continue to monitor students.

Abstract

Education is a key driver in cultivating a skilled generation, providing innovative STEM learning to enhance future prospects. This research analysed the effect of STEM project-based Learning in optical instrument topics on students' attitudes and perception towards STEM. Conducted through a quasi-experimental method, the research drew its sample from 8th-grade students in a junior high school in Bandung, Indonesia, evenly split between control (n=30) and experimental (n=30) classes. The control class is taught by project-based learning, while STEM PJBL taught to the experimental class. The result of this study was an N-Gain of students' attitudes towards STEM in experimental class showed a 0.11, which is still categorized as low enhancement. The T-test result (asymp. sig. (2-tailed) = 0.54) also shows no significant difference between the control and experimental classes. Furthermore, engineering and technology are favored STEM subscale, seen as fostering creativity subscale, followed by science, which students' enjoy most of science with no counting lesson, However, most students hold a negative view of mathematics subscale due to the complexity of formulas provided in the lesson. Based on this research, STEM-PJBL should be applied in creative, innovative, and consistent ways within the science class to get a higher shift in students' attitudes.

Abstract

This systematic literature review examines learning models in mathematics and science education that improve Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). The review focuses on studies from 2000 to 2023, addressing Indonesia's need to enhance HOTS in response to low performance in global assessments like PISA. Using the PRISMA method, 20 studies were analyzed based on criteria such as HOTS focus and relevance to primary and secondary education. Findings reveal that Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) is the most commonly used model across disciplines, promoting critical thinking and problem-solving. Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is also widely applied, particularly in senior high schools, encouraging creativity through real-world problems. Discovery Learning, though less frequent, is effective in fostering independent inquiry in chemistry education. The study concludes that inquiry-driven and problem-solving models are key to developing HOTS, especially in secondary education, where cognitive demands increase. These models should be integrated into curricula to meet the challenges of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Abstract

Since secondary school, students have always learned measurement accuracy. Understanding measurement uncertainty is crucial, as is acquiring, handling, and analyzing measurement data. This study investigates first-year students’ knowledge of measurement uncertainty in physics. This study utilized a one-group pre- and post-test design within a teacher research or self-study framework. This study involved 25 participants from an educational program at a university in East Java, Indonesia. The focus in this study was on four categories: (a) “repeated distance” (RD), (b) “using repeats” (UR), (c) “same mean different spread” (SMDS), and (d) “different mean same spread” (DMSS), based on Pollard et al.’s new codebook for the Physics Measurement Questionnaire. We observed moderate normalized gain in most of the four criteria following the lecture intervention. We also conducted a paired t-test and found statistical differences before and after the intervention. These results show freshmen struggle with understanding uncertainty in physics measurement based on their secondary schools’ experiences, highlighting the need for a learning intervention combining theory and laboratory practice. These findings underscore the importance of enhancing education for future science teachers in secondary schools.
