Profile of Superior High School Students’ Higher Order Thinking Skills on Stoichiometry Topic

Abstract

The world has entered the industrial revolution (RI) 4.0 which is supported by digital technology and automation in various fields. RI 4.0 resulted in changes in the social order, specifically the need for skills in this era. The top 3 skills needed in the 21st century are complex problem solving, critical thinking, and creativity. All of these skills can be classified into Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). HOTS is a thinking skill that depends on the ability to analyze, create, and evaluate all aspects and problems. This research aims to develop valid problems to measure HOTS for students on stoichiometry topic and evaluate students’ HOTS on stoichiometry topic. Research is a development research type formative research that consists of analyzing, designing, evaluating, and revising. All data are analyzed using a descriptive technique. A subject in this research is students of superior high school in Pekanbaru. The results of this research are: (1) three of valid HOTS problems on stoichiometry (2) value of students' HOTS on stoichiometry is 35.16 which put in a medium category

Development of a Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) Test Instrument on Electrochemical Material for High School Students

“…However, there is still a limited number of HOTS test instruments available for electrochemistry topics in schools. To date, the development of HOTS test instruments using Rasch model analysis has only been available on stoichiometric (Abdullah et al, 2022), salt hydrolysis (Lubis et al, 2022), and acid-base reaction (Aprilia et al, 2021).…”

Environmental Literacy Analysis of Junior High School Students in Pekanbaru

“…Nowadays environmental education is implemented integrated into every subject, one of which is the study of Natural Sciences (IPA). Science learning must be contextual that must involve students directly to observe around and train students to think through the results of their observations, because 21st century skills that students must have are analyzing and practicing it in life in a concrete manner (Zulirfan, et al, 2018;Abdullah, et al, 2019). To see the effectiveness of learning related to the environment it is necessary to measure the level of student literacy so that it becomes an evaluation material in improving learning.…”

The Use of Inquiry-Based Handouts on Science Learning for Student Critical Thinking Ability

“…Therefore, science (IPA) should be studied in ways that enable the development of students critical thinking skills in solving real problems. Abdullah et al (2019) stated that there are 3 top skills needed in the 21st century, namely skills of critical thinking, problem solving, and creative thinking. All of these skills can be classified into Higher Level Thinking Skills According to Febriana (2012) critical thinking is an active, continuous and careful consideration of a belief or form of knowledge that is taken for granted by including reasons that support rational conclusions and conclusions.…”
