Problem solving based physics learning strategy to enhance students’ higher order thinking skills

Abstract

Higher order thinking skills (HOTS) in learning that would be needed in the 21st century. This study probed the effect of utilizing problem-solving strategy while learning physics. The sample of this study is two classes from the second year of Senior High School in Pontianak. Qualitative and quantitative research methods were applied to identify students’ HOTS, to analyze students’ score and acquire the effect of problem-solving strategy after students learning physics. The result shows that student’s physics HOTS who studied by problem-solving strategy is higher than students’ by rehearsal strategy. Thus indicates that problem-solving strategy can be effective to enhance students’ HOTS of physics. The pedagogical implication is discussed on the use of problem-solving strategy as an alternative strategy for physics teaching.

Promoting Higher Order Thinking Skills among Pre-Service Teachers through Group-Based Flipped Learning

“…Among others are mind-mapping (Canas, Reiska & Mollits, 2017), inquiry-based learning (Tindangen, 2018) and metacognitive learning strategy (Parlan & Rahayu, 2021). Although various studies have examined HOTs among students in education at various levels, there is still a need to study and identify new methods and strategies to encourage students to think creatively and critically (Silitonga, Panjaitan & Supriyati, 2020). It is vital for teachers specifically the pre-service teachers to grasp the new and emerging methods and technology as they will be the catalyst for creative and critical thinking model for students at lower levels.…”

Persepsi Calon Guru Biologi Tentang Keterampilan Memecahkan Masalah Biodiversitas: Kajian Terkait Society 5.0

“…Berbagai penelitian tentang kesiapan dunia pendidikan terkait kompetensi abad 21 dan literasi yang harus dimiliki oleh para peserta didik untuk menghadapi revolusi industri 4.0 dan society 5.0 telah banyak dilakukan (Darmaji et al, 2019;Dewi et al, 2019;Rahman, et al, 2019;Lestari & Santoso, 2019;Machfiroh & Komalasari, 2020;Nastiti & Abdu;Jahari, 2020). Penelitian tentang keterampilan pemecahan masalah sebagai bagian dari kompetensi abad 21 yang termasuk dalam Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) juga telah banyak dilakukan (Häkkinen, et al, 2017, Zaharin et al, 2018Alkhatib, 2019;Silitonga et al, 2020). Terkait dengan salah satu ciri khas society 5.0 yaitu kemampuan melakukan pemecahan masalah serta dapat hidup secara berkelanjutan dan menjaga harmonisasi dengan lingkungan (termasuk biodiversitas di dalamnya) masih jarang dikaji dan diteliti kaitannya dengan bidang pendidikan.…”

“…Kompetensi tersebut terdiri dari membangun dan memelihara pemahaman bersama antar anggota tim, mengambil tindakan yang tepat untuk menyelesaikan masalah serta membentuk dan memelihara kekompakan tim dalam organisasi (OECD, 2017). Keterampilan memecahkan masalah bagi calon guru diperlukan sebagai bekal keterampilan abad 21 dan melatihkan HOTS dalam melaksanakan kegiatan pembelajaran (Häkkinen et al (2017); Zaharin et al (2018); Alkhatib (2019); Silitonga et al (2020)).…”

As contribuições de um agente conversacional no ensino e aprendizagem da Física: uma revisão de literatura

“…A estratégia de aprendizagem baseada em problemas (Problem-Based Learning PBL) possibilita discutir temas, trabalhar de forma cooperativa e desenvolver habilidades para resolução de problemas, bem como promover o pensamento de alto nível; como demonstrado por Silitonga et al (2020) cujo estudo sobre habilidades de ordem superior de pensamento, em inglês "Higher order thinking skills" (HOTS) demonstrou que o HOTS do aluno de Física que estudou pela estratégia de resolução de problemas é maior do que o dos alunos pela estratégia de ensaio.…”

“…O uso das ferramentas, aplicativos e softwares disponíveis para mediar o ensino e a aprendizagem da Física justifica-se por ser uma disciplina com necessidade de desenvolvimento das habilidades de pensamento superior, como destacado por Silitonga (2020). Além disso, nos últimos anos, apresentou mudanças bruscas no currículo.…”
