The Development Assessment Instruments of Higher Order Thinking Skills on Economic Subject

Abstract

This research aims to develop Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) based assessment instruments on economic subjects especially in Basic Competencies 3.4 price and inflation index. This study adopts the development model of Borg & Gall which is limited to five stages of development, namely, data collection, product design, product testing, product analysis and final product revision. This research was conducted on 33 students of Social Eleven One class at Senior High School 1 Cerme. This assessment instrument produces 15 multiple choice test and has been tested twice. This study shows the results that in the first and second trials the overall validity value of the problem is greater than r table which is 0.344 and the reliability value is 0.786 and 0.763. This shows that the assessment instrument is valid and reliable. While the test for the quantity of items consists level difficulty of the question, differentiating question and effectivity of distractor that meet the quality criteria of HOTS-based questions. Based on the results of the trial it was found that there were 7 students who were included in the "less" category. Overall, the average student has a high level of thinking ability that requires sufficient categories. So, the efforts to support the learning process continue to be needed which is useful for improving higher order thinking skills in students.

Development of higher order thinking skill assessment instruments in learning Indonesian history

“…Students must often be faced with exercises working on HOTS questions that are interesting to solve, so that the potential of students increases. In the current 2013 curriculum, while the syllabus serves as a guide in learning activities in schools, the material prepared requires students to have high-level thinking skills [15], and of course the assessment must adjust to the ability to think at a high level, especially in history learning in high school [16], [17]. The meaning of assessment in the realm of education is to find out the achievement of objectives and the process of learning activities [18], [19], therefore assessment must meet academic requirements as an appropriate assessment carried out in high school.…”

“…Previous research on higher order thinking skills has been carried out by several researchers who have focused on learning mathematics [30], learning physics [31] and learning history with descriptive questions [17]. Based on previous research studies on the HOTS, researchers found a new aspect of this research is the development of HOTS assessments with multiple choice test questions, especially in assessing the learning of Indonesian history.…”

Kerangka Konseptual Kemampuan Belajar Dan Inovasi Siswa Dan Hubungannya Dengan Kompetensi Guru, Teknologi Pendidikan, Dan Hots

“…Sejalan dengan itu hasil penelitian lain menjelaskan bahwa pembelajaran yang efektif dapat tercipta dengan pemanfaatan teknologi yang memadai dan sesuai dengan tujuan pembelajaran (Albina & Sumagaysay, 2020;Burbules, Fan, & Repp, 2020;Haubold, Mathai, & Pyenson, 2020). Penggunaan evaluasi pendidikan berupa High Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) dapat meningkatkan kemampuan siswa terutama pada aspek kognitif untuk memenuhi tujuan pembelajaran pada bidang ekonomi (Kurniawan & Lestari, 2019).…”

The Urgency of HOTS-Oriented Learning and Assessment Towards Quality of Education in Facing Indonesia Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030

“…To improve the quality of education, especially in the 21 st Century, students need to develop higherorder thinking skills. Higher order thinking skills can also be trained and developed through classroom learning [19]. Craig [20] suggests that in the 21 st century students will deal with unusual problems, so they must be familiar with activities related to solution to problem.…”
