Abstract

This study aimed to analyze higher order thinking skills of the students, based on the quality of the questions they make. This type of research was qualitative and quantitative descriptive. The research subjects were 26 undergraduate Culinary Education students of Home Economics Department, Universitas Negeri Surabaya, Indonesia. The topics studied were social and humanistic learning theories. The study was conducted in two meetings. Data were collected by observation and documentation. There were 109 questions. The questions were analyzed based on the cognitive taxonomy. The results indicated that 77.88% of the questions were at the low and moderate cognition levels. 20.18% of questions were at the high ones. No questions led to the levels of evaluating and creating. 3.67% were unclear, incomplete, and ambiguous questions Based on the nature of the question, 48.62% of questions were classified as ill-defined and 47.71% well-defined. In conclusion, if the quality of questions is a picture of students' thinking skills, then the high-level thinking skills of students were still relatively low, and therefore they needed to be trained more intensively and sustainably. © 2019 IEEE.
