Abstract

ABSTRACT Anggi Finansu : LOTS and HOTS Analysis in Exercise of English Text Book at Seventh Grade of SMP IT RR Rejang Lebong Advisor : Jumatul Hidayah, M.Pd Co-Advisor : Meli Fauziah, M.Pd This descriptive qualitative study examines the manifestation of lower-order thinking skills (LOTS) and higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) exercises in the Bahasa Inggris: Bright an English 1 for SMP/MTS Grade VII K-Merdeka textbook. A comprehensive analysis of 139 exercises revealed that 112 (approximately 86%) were categorized as LOTS. These exercises assess foundational skills like recalling facts, completing simple tasks, and basic comprehension, with formats including fill-in-the-blank, cloze tests, and multiple-choice questions. Among them, 47 exercises fall under C1 (Remembering), 28 under C2 (Understanding), and 38 under C3 (Applying). In contrast, HOTS exercises make up 27 (14%) of the total and promote critical thinking through tasks that require analysis, evaluation, and synthesis of information. These exercises include activities like completing dialogues and engaging in discussions, with 15 exercises in C4 (Analyzing) and 12 in C5 (Evaluating). The analysis highlights the dominance of LOTS, aligning with the cognitive development theory by Wang and O'Loughlin, which suggests that junior high school students are mostly in the "Concrete Operational" stage. LOTS exercises lay the foundation for knowledge acquisition, preparing students for more complex reasoning in higher-order thinking. The findings emphasize the importance of a balanced approach in educational materials, ensuring that students are equipped with both foundational knowledge and critical thinking skills. The distribution of LOTS exercises is consistent across chapters, with Chapter 1 containing the highest proportion. HOTS exercises encourage deeper cognitive engagement, helping students analyze, evaluate, and synthesize language concepts. The study underscores the textbook's role in fostering a progressive learning environment, aligning with the K-Merdeka curriculum's goals of promoting both basic and advanced cognitive tasks for language acquisition and real-world applications.
