Abstract

In learning in schools there are still many teachers using a teacher-centered learning model or
Teacher Center. In teacher-centered learning, the teacher can control or organize the material and
time completely, but communication only occurs in one direction so that learning runs passively.
Teacher-centered learning conditions are not as expected in the 2006 Ministry of Education Regulation,
which is expected to learn mathematics in students having the ability to think logically, analytically,
systematically, critically, and creatively, and have the ability to work together. One learning model
that can help students develop critical and logical thinking skills is Problem Based Learning (PBL). In
PBL, the teacher's function is as a facilitator which means preparing all the facilities needed in learning
activities. PBL becomes better if it is associated with the approach Higher Order Thinking
(HOT)because the estuary of higher-order thinking patterns is able to solve problems From the
observations of student learning activities the HOT-PBL approach includes activities namely: motor
activity, mental activity, and emotional activity students during learning take place in the classroom
with the HOT-PBL approach get a good category, which means students are classified as active
students. While the results of the test which includes HOT-PBL questions obtained 85.7% mastery
achievement which means that 85.7% of students achieved individual completeness.
