Science learning oriented to higher order thinking in digital era

Abstract

Science learning becomes very important in the development of students' higher-order thinking, especially in the current era which is entering the digital era. This article aims to discuss science learning oriented to the development of higher order thinking skills in the digital era. The method used is a literature study using various references, both books, journals, and other sources from the internet related to the topic of writing this article. The various sources were studied in depth to the practical stages in implementing the learning in the classroom. The results of the study show that science learning that is oriented to the development of higher order thinking skills is learning based on a scientific approach covering aspects of observing, asking, experimenting, associating, and communicating which are fully integrated in science process skills. As for the digital era, science learning that is oriented to the development of higher-order thinking skills is applied by using elements of digital-based technology such as simulations and virtual laboratories to make science lessons well understood and able to improve students' higher-order thinking skills.
