In this study, waste tire rubber (WTR) was successfully converted into magnetorheological (MR) elastomer via high-pressure and high-temperature reclamation. The physical and rheological properties of WTR based MR elastomers were assessed for performance. The revulcanization process was at the absence of magnetic fields. Thus, the magnetizable particles were allowed to distribute randomly. To confirm the particle dispersion in the MR elastomer matrix, an observation by scanning electron microscopy was used. The magnetization saturation and other magnetic properties were obtained through vibrating sample magnetometer. Rheological properties including MR effect were examined under oscillatory loadings in the absence and presence of magnetic fields using rotational rheometer. The WTR based MR elastomer exhibited tunable intrinsic properties under presentation of magnetic fields. The storage and loss modulus, along with the loss factor, changed with increases in frequency and during magnetization. Interestingly, a Payne effect phenomenon was seen in all samples during dynamic swept strain testing. The Payne effect was significantly increased with incremental increases in the magnetic field. This phenomenon was interpreted as the process of formation-destruction-reformation undergone by the internal network chains in the MR elastomers.

High order thinking skills refer to three highest domains of the revised Bloom Taxonomy. The aims of the research were to analyze the student’s higher-order thinking skills of heat and temperature concept. The samples were taken by purposive random sampling technique consisted of 85 high school students from 3 senior high schools in Jayapura city. The descriptive qualitative method was employed in this study. The data were collected by using tests and interviews regarding the subject matters of heat and temperature. Based on the results of data analysis, it was concluded that 68.24% of the students have a high order thinking skills in the analysis, 3.53% of the students have a high order thinking skills in evaluating, and 0% of the students have a high order thinking skills in creation.
