Training on Making HOTS Questions with WQC Application

Abstract

Abstract. The use of question instruments as an evaluation tool in junior and senior high schools in the Merauke district is still based on paper and pencil using multiple choice and essay types. It is not the expected output in 21st-century learning. Seeing these conditions, the service team conducted a training program for making HOTS-based question instruments with the WQC application to help improve teachers’ abilities in compiling HOTS-based questions. The training participants were 30 teachers and carried out offline in two sessions. The first session of the meeting provided material regarding procedures for compiling good-quality questions and HOTS. In the second meeting, the speaker gave a tutorial on using the WQC to collect computerized evaluation questions. The training results show 1) the teacher could compose HOTS-based questions using the WQC application and 2) the teacher was enthusiastic about participating. It can be seen from the percentage of teacher responses calculated by the Likert scale. The results obtained were 87.78% for the first session presenters, while for the second session presenters, it was 86.15%, and for the use of the WQC application, it was 84.40%.
