The Development of Higher Order Thinking Skill (Hots) Instrument Assessment In Physics Study

Abstract

TIMMS and PISA survey results illustrate that the indonesian student's ability to think scientifically is low. It is because of students are less trained in solving HOTS. Then, lack or unavailability the assessment instrument designed to train HOTS, so it is necessary to develop the assessment instrument of HOTS. Model adapt the model development of Borg & Gall. The purpose of thisresearchare to determine the indicators and the effectiveness of the HOTS assessment instrument as assessment for learning for a high school students. The assessment instrument was developed based on HOTS indicators include the ability to analyze (C4), evaluate (C5), and create (C6). Results of the research are: (1) indicator of the ability to analyze (C4) which has been developed are ability to analysis of factual, conceptual, procedural, and metacognitive knowledge; (2) indicator of the ability to evaluate (C5) which has been developed are ability to evaluate of factual, conceptual, procedural, and metacognitive knowledge; (3) Indicator of the ability to create (C6) that has been developed are ability to create of conceptual, procedural, and metacognitive knowledge; (4) the HOTS assessment instrument as assessment for learning is effective to train student's HOTS and effective measure student's thinking skills in accordance with the level of each student's thinking.
