The adaptation of new habits after the COVID-19 pandemic has an impact on the lack of availability of learning media that can be used to support the learning process. The role of learning media is very important in the learning process, one of which is to facilitate students in practicing higher-order thinking skills as one of the 21st century skills that must be possessed by students. This study aims to analyze the needs and explore the role of teachers in the process of developing digital learning media containing HOTS-based questions in elementary schools. This research is a descriptive research by conducting a needs analysis. The data was collected using observation and interview methods with instruments in the form of observation sheets and interview sheets. Data analysis was carried out qualitatively. The results show that digital-based learning media containing HOTS questions used in post-covid-19 learning are still limited and not varied. In addition, teachers also have not played a major role in developing digital-based learning media containing HOTS questions. This indicates that the development of digital-based learning media containing HOTS questions needs to be developed as an effort to improve the quality of learning after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Students’ literacy and creative thinking skills in the learning process are not optimal. Students only master science concepts without communicating and solving problems in everyday life. It happens because the learning activities applied by the teacher are less innovative and varied. This study aims to analyze the impact of revised Bloom’s Taxonomy-oriented learning activities on creative thinking skills and scientific literacy. The study had quasi-experimental in a pretest-posttest control group design. The sample of this study was 60 students; 30 students in the experimental class and 30 students in the control class. Data collection methods used were tests and questionnaires. The instrument used was a test instrument in description of 10 questions to test critical thinking skills, a questionnaire instrument consisting of 30 statements, and a questionnaire instrument to measure scientific literacy skills. Data analysis methods used were quantitative descriptive and inferential statistical. The Manova analysis obtained 0.00 0.05. Based on the analysis results, effective learning activities develop creative thinking skills and scientific literacy, either partially or simultaneously. Even though it affects creative thinking skills and scientific literacy, the strongly influenced variable is creative thinking skill, which is indicated by a significant increase in the mean value. Thus, learning activities based on Bloom’s Taxonomy become learning recommendations to develop creative thinking skills and scientific literacy.

This study aims to analyze the effect of project-based assessment based on local culture on students' scientific attitudes and science process skills in science learning in elementary schools. This research is a quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent post-test-only control group design. The population in this study was 151 participants, while the sample selected through random sampling technique was 61 participants divided into two classes. The data collection methods in this research were test and non-test methods. The instruments used were scientific attitude questionnaires and performance tests, and observation sheets. A validation process measured the validity and reliability of the instrument. The data obtained were analyzed using the MANOVA test assisted by the IBM SPSS Statistics 21.0 application. The hypothesis test results show a significance value of 0.003 (Sig <0.05) so that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. Thus, it can be concluded that there are simultaneous effects in scientific attitudes and science process skills between students’ learning with local culture-based Project-based Assessment and students’ learning with conventional assessment applied.

This study aims to (1) developing a mathematics assessment instrument based on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS); and describe the quality of the instrument. This study was a research and development study adapting 4D model from Thiagarajan. The model including the following steps : (1) define, (2) design, (3) develop, and (4) desseminate. Due to limited of time, this research was only carried out until the developing step.The result shows that the instrument that consists of 18 essay test item are valid and appropriate to be used. The instrumen’s reliability coefficients are 0.659 (High). The instrument has the average of item discrimination  0.44 (Very Good) and the average of item difficulty of the instrument are 0.584 (Medium). The conclusion is the assessment instrument is feasibel being as an assessment instrumen to measure the high order thinking skill toward two-dimentional geometry topic.

The low ability of Indonesian students is related to the science learning process which has not fully provided opportunities for students to develop critical reasoning skills. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the E-Scrapbook media containing HOTS questions on the learning outcomes of fourth grade elementary school students. This research is an experimental research using a quantitative approach. The research design used in this study was a one group pre-test post-test design. The subjects of this study amounted to 30 elementary school fourth grade students. The effectiveness of using E-Scrapbook media with HOTS questions can be measured using the test method. The data analysis method used in this research is descriptive and inferential analysis. The analytical technique used to test the hypothesis is Paired Sample T-Test. Hypothesis testing using the help of the IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows version 21.0 program. There is a significant difference in the learning outcomes of students' science before and after participating in learning using the E-Scrapbook media containing HOTS-Based Questions. Thus, the application of E-Scrapbook media containing HOTS-based questions in the learning process effectively has an influence in improving student learning outcomes.
