Analyzing student’s character values in high order thingking skills problems

Abstract

This research is a qualitative descriptive study that aims to find out how the character values of students in learning use HOTS questions with PBL models. Data collection methods used were observation, written tests, and interviews. The focus of this research is the value of the character of curiosity, hard work, thorough, and creative. The results showed that the dominant character values that emerged were curiosity and hard work, which was due to the lack of HOTS type questions making students often ask the teacher how to solve these problems. Then because of the dominant curiosity, students work on the problem with hard work. While the character values the dominant does not appear are thorough and creative characters, it happens because of the lack of student training in working on various math problems making students only focus on what has been taught in the classroom without developing their thinking.
