Abstract

This study aims to describe the profile of the ability of chemistry teachers in developing the assessment instrument based on higher order thinking skills (HOTS), increasing the ability to develop the assessment instrument based on HOTS and participant responses to the training activities carried out. This research is a type of action research which is conducted in 2 cycles. The target of this research is the chemistry teacher members of the chemistry teacher association from Surabaya city, East Java, Indonesia, a total of 15 people. The research data was collected using the test of ability to compose the assessment instrument based on HOTS as well as a participant response questionnaire to the training activities. The research data were analyzed descriptively and quantitatively. The results showed that the chemistry teacher’s ability score in developing the assessment instrument based on HOTS after being given training was 88.67 and the n-gain score was 0.73 in the high category. The teacher’s ability score in developing the assessment instrument based on HOTS with a cognitive level of C-4 (analysis), C-5 (evaluation), and C-6 (create) were 92, 89, and 85, respectively. Participants gave a positive response to the training provided. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the training activities have been able to improve the ability of chemistry teachers in developing the assessment instrument based on HOTS for chemistry subjects. The ability of teachers in developing the assessment instrument based on HOTS with a cognitive level of C-6 needs to be improved.
