Abstract

One of the chemistry concepts that require the development of higher-order thinking ability is the electrolytic cell, the concept is widely applied in dailylife, related to technology and is a continuation course. This study aimed to analyze the students ability of higher-order thinking in electrolytic cell concept. The method used was pre-experiment with one group pretest-posttest which is applied to 41 first-year chemistry students in undergraduate level as research subject. Data were obtained from the answers to the higher-order thinking ability essay test. The students’ higher-order thinking ability in the dimension of analysis was deficient, their ability in the dimension of evaluation was adequate, and their ability in the dimension of creation was decent. The cognitive dimension of analysis requires the ability to build relationships between information provided, in this case most of the students have not be able to reach that stage. In general, the results of this study informed that students’ higher-order thinking ability on the concept of electrolytic cell was categorized adequate. Thus, for the improvement, problem solving exercises require complex thinking are necessary.
