Abstract

ABSTRACT Amanda Aulia Tifani : Teacher’s Strategies in Teaching Students to Answer HOTS questions on Reading Passage at SMA 1 Rejang Lebong NIM : 21551006 Advisor : Jumatul Hidayah, M.Pd. Co-Advisor : Sarwo Edy, M. Pd. This research aims to analyze the reading passages containing HOTS, the strategies used by the English teacher at SMA Negeri 1 Rejang Lebong in teaching students to answer Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) questions on reading texts, and the problems experienced by the teacher. This descriptive qualitative study utilized document analysis, observation, and interviews. The subject of the research was a 12th-grade English teacher at SMA Negeri 1 Rejang Lebong. The findings were organized to answer two research questions: First, the document analysis of 15 reading passages in the student learning module revealed a total of 44 HOTS questions, indicating that the materials contained elements supporting critical thinking. Second, the teacher's strategies were found to align with the Cognitive Apprenticeship model, which includes Modeling, Scaffolding, Articulation, and Reflection. These strategies were implemented through techniques such as think-aloud, step-by-step analysis, and group discussions to encourage deeper reasoning.In conclusion, the teacher effectively used the Cognitive Apprenticeship model to help students answer HOTS questions, although its full implementation was hindered by various challenges. The study suggests that to improve student outcomes in HOTS-based reading, a more structured and supportive approach is needed to address student resistance and provide more time for critical thinking and reflection.
