- Abstract
Higher-Order Thinking skills (HOTs) are needed to form our students to become more critical and creative individuals facing this sophisticated age. Teachers are required to be able to present learning that trains students to reason, think critically and creatively. This article presents the results of our research in the form of identifying the ability of teachers in compiling mathematical problems that requiring HOTs to solve. Seventeen teachers were trained in one-day workshops then given the opportunity to compile one HOTs problem in their own way. These problems were identified and categorized based on the topics, its compatibility with the criteria of assessing HOTs, and the category of cognitive processes and knowledge dimension according to Blooms’ Taxonomy revised. The results showed that Numbers topic is mostly made by trainees (47.06%). The most cognitive dimension shown by the teachers is analyzing (47.06%). For the knowledge dimension, the problems posed by teacher are categorized as conceptual or procedural. Of all the participants, there were 1 person who still made mathematics problem that categorized as understanding level and 5 people who made problem that categorized as applying level.
