ANALISIS ORIENTASI HIGHER ORDER THINKING SKILLS (HOTS) PADA SOAL PILIHAN GANDA BUKU PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM DAN BUDI PEKERTI KELAS XI BERDASARKAN TAKSONOMI BLOOM REVISI

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the orientation of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in the multiple-choice questions contained in the Islamic Religious Education and Character Education textbook for Grade XI based on Anderson and Krathwohl's Revised Bloom's Taxonomy. This study employed a qualitative library research approach. The primary data source was the Grade XI textbook, while secondary data were obtained from books, scientific journals, and other relevant references. Data were analyzed through the stages of identification, classification, categorization, and description based on the cognitive process dimensions of the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy, namely remembering (C1), understanding (C2), applying (C3), analyzing (C4), evaluating (C5), and creating (C6). The findings indicate that, of the 100 multiple-choice questions analyzed, 79 items (79%) were classified as Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS), while 21 items (21%) were classified as Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). All HOTS questions were found only at the analyzing level (C4), whereas no questions measured the evaluating (C5) or creating (C6) levels. These findings suggest that the textbook has begun to incorporate HOTS-oriented questions; however, their implementation remains limited to the analyzing level. Therefore, assessment instruments should be developed by increasing questions at the evaluating and creating levels to better support students' critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills in accordance with the demands of 21st-century learning.
