LEARNING ACTIVITIES IN HIGHER ORDER THINKING SKILL (HOTS) ORIENTED LEARNING CONTEXT

The development of 21st century life requires the higher-level thinking ability developmental for learners. HOTS learning is characterized by; 1) Analysis, Evaluation and Creating, 2) Logical reasoning, 3) Consideration and critical thinking, 4) Problem Solving and Creative Thinking. One effort that can be done by educators to develop higher-level thinking ability for learners is by facilitating learners to do Advanced Learning Activities (ABL) that include: 1) processing/ analyzing, 2) Communicating/ dialogue, 3) discuss/ collaborate, 4) presents/ constructs. ABL is a continuation of Basic Learning Activities which includes; 1) Observing (combination of seeing and hearing), 2) trying/ questioning, 3) searching/ collecting. Therefore, in learning, educators should be more focused on giving learners space to do ABL while still allowing time for ABD as a warm-up activity or initial activity (Schaffolding). The way that can be done as a trigger of Advanced Learning Activities is to present more questions/ tasks/ problems on high cognitive level that is C4, C5, and C6 in every learning. High-level questions/ tasks/ problems will also encourage learners to dialogue and discuss so that collaboration in learning will be created.
