Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the higher order thinking skills of prospective physics teacher students at the Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa University through direct learning models. The method used in this study is a quasi-experiment with the design of one group pre-test and post-test. The instrument used in this study was a test of high order thinking skills on magnetic electric material, in the form of 10 breakdown tests and was tested on 25 prospective physics teacher students at Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa University. Each question evaluates aspects of analysing, evaluating, create. The average N-gain results in the physics teacher candidates at the Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa University were 0.37 in the medium category. So it can be concluded that the higher order thinking by using the direct learning model of prospective physics teacher students at the Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa University is included in the medium category.
