This research was carried by descriptive research method that analyzed the assessment instruments used by teachers in schools and analyzed students’ high order thinking skills in ‘Animalia’ material. High order thinking skills is the ability to manipulate information or received ideas and apply it to solve a problem. This research was conducted in Senior High School 8 Padang. The assessment instruments used to collect the data was test which require high order thinking skills in ‘Animalia’ material that had been validated by one of lecturers in the department of Biology. The test amounted 50 items consisting of 30 common multiple choice questions, 10 causal multiple choice questions, and 10 association multiple choice questions that are at the C4-C6 cognitive level. The results showed that the assessment instruments made by the teacher were still at the C1-C3 cognitive level. It is concluded from the daily test questions about ‘Plantae’ material with percentage of C1 by 13.3%, C2 by 50%, and C3 by 16.7% that did not meet the aspects of high order thinking. After testing high order thinking questions about ‘Animalia’ material, it indicated that students' high order thinking skills was still in low grade with a class average of 24.37. The strategy that can be used to improve students' high order thinking skills is to familiarize students with working on questions that require high order thinking skills.

The study aims to determine student’s High Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) and to find out the causes of student’s HOTS on dynamic electricity material. The number of samples involved 59 students consisting of 30 students from the excellence class and 29 students from the regular class. The research instrument used consisted of 8 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs). Questions have been validated, and reliability has been tested in the medium category (Alpha Cronbachs: 0.44). The data analyzed using descriptive analysis. The average student’s HOTS is 59.98% indicating the medium category. The results of the student’s HOTS on the analysis provided by students from excellence classes are 71.25% indicating high category and regular class 48.71% indicating medium category. The results of the analysis show that student’s HOTS is on medium category because students having difficulty in making connection one concept to another concept and using mathematics as a tool in solving physics problems. The results as a reference for improving student’s HOTS. This research can be developed by increasing the sample and expanding the material being tested.

The background of the research is the low assessment of high order thinking skills of students due to the conventional methods used by the school. The aims of this study are: (1) how student learning activities when using hybrid learning Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) and jigsaw, (2) how student learning activities when taught using the direct learning model, and (3) the effect of hybrid learning Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) and jigsaw towards high order thinking skills. This study used a quasi experimental nonequivalent control group design with the sample of 50 students from a population of vocational high school students in Ponorogo. Data collection techniques used instruments in the form of high order tests and non-test instruments in the form of observation sheets. Data analysis used was independent sample t-test. The results showed: (1) the use of Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) based on hybrid learning and jigsaw made 28% of students were very active, 28% of students active, and 44% of students quite active in the learning process, this was evidenced by an average value of 70.56, (2) the use of direct learning models in learning made 24% of students quite active, 36% of students less active, and 40% of students passive in the learning process, which can be seen from the acquisition of an average value of 51.52, and (3) there was a significant effect of Student Learning Achievement Division (STAD) based on hybrid learning and jigsaw on students' high order thinking skills.
