Level of Knowledge and Understanding of State Senior High School Science Teachers in Constructing “HOT Questions”

Abstract

This study aims to describe the level of knowledge and understanding of state senior high school science teachers (SMAN) in constructing higher-order thinking items (HOT), and to compar e the level of knowledge and understanding among state senior high school Physics, Chemistry, and Biology teachers in constructing higher-order thinking items (HOT). The type of this research is descriptive quantitative, data collection technique is done by survey method using developed questionnaire instrument. The population in this research are all science teachers (Physics, Chemistry, and Biology) of State Senior High School teachers in Aceh Province, with the sample being 90 science teachers of State Senior High School teachers which are chosen randomly. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively. The result of the research shows that: (1) the level of knowledge and understanding of science teachers of State Senior High School teachers in constructing higher-order thinking items (HOT) is in the medium category, (2) the level of knowledge and understanding in constructing higher-order thinking (HOT) items, Biology teachers achieved more high and very high category compared to Physics and Chemistry teachers.

Innovation Learning Process in New Normal Era: Effectiveness of Online Proctored Examination (OPE) Technology to Increase Student Honesty in Physics Lecture

“…The Blended Learning approach used by students is face-to-face online learning and facilities in the form of various learning media that they can access to support their learning independently outside of face-to-face lecture hours [19]. The evaluation stage in the form of an exam is an important aspect of the learning process that needs to be given to measure the achievement of the learning process that has been implemented [20]. In addition to online exams with direct supervision via video conference, exams using the OPE method can be an appropriate reference to support online learning using a blended learning approach because the implementation of OPE does not have to be carried out at the same time [21].…”

Perceptions of Science Teachers in Developing Student Learning Outcomes Instruments Online

“…The impact on the learning process during Covid-19 is that all learning activities that were previously carried out face-to-face must now shift to an online (in-network) learning process. According to Moore et al (2011), Ghifari et al (2022, Rahmati et al (2022), Chen (2023), andAbad et al (2023) states that online learning is learning that uses internet networks with accessibility, connectivity, flexibility, and the ability to produce various types of learning The obstacles for students of SMA Negeri 6 Banda Aceh during the Covid-19 pandemic were very difficult to participate in learning, especially in science subjects. The learning implementation schedule has been given by each teacher.…”
