This research is a qualitative descriptive study. The research subjects were teachers who taught Grade VI Elementary Schools in Palembang, which amounted to 8 people. The research instrument used was a questionnaire. The results showed that the understanding of elementary school teachers in the city of Palembang was 71.87% in the good category. However, the teacher's understanding when differentiating between HOTS and not HOTS shows that the category is sufficient with 57.5% of teachers being able to distinguish between HOTS questions. Teachers still experience problems in preparing HOTS-based assessment instruments for learning in elementary schools that showed 78,125%.
