Abstract
High quality online learning continued to be pursued to provide good mastery of concept and to encourage student activities to learn. One way to achieve this is by providing exercises of type Higher Order Thinking skills (HOTs) for students. This research was conducted on grade IX students at a private school in Bekasi on magnetism subject. The type of this research is Quasi-Experimental research with Pretest-Posttest Only Control Group Design. The dependent variables in this research are mastery of concepts and students’ learning activities. F-test and t-test were used to obtain conclusions on the effect of HOTs type questions on the dependent variables. The students were divided into two groups, which are control and experimental group. Control group was given non-HOTs type exercises, while experimental group was given HOTs type exercises. The results from the data analysis show that the mastery of concepts and learning activities from the experimental group were higher compared to the control group.
