| description | This study aims to identify polytechnic students' level of Marzano Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) based on
two dimensions, 'Extension and Refinement of Knowledge' and 'Meaningful Use of Knowledge,' and to analyze the
difference in the students' level of Marzano HOTS based on these two dimensions depending on the students'
demographic factors. This study design was a survey using quantitative methods. A total of 313 students were
randomly selected as the survey sample. A questionnaire in the form of closed-ended questions was used as the
research instrument. Data were analyzed using frequency percentage and MANOVA test. The findings showed no
significant differences in the eight HOTS in the dimension of 'Extension and Refinement of Knowledge' with the
gender and socio-economic status (SES) factors. However, there were significant differences in the eight HOTS
with the academic achievement factor. Meanwhile, based on the dimension of 'Meaningful Use of Knowledge,' the
findings showed no significant differences in the five HOTS in this dimension with the gender and academic
achievement factors. The paper includes implications of the Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) for students to
improve their academic performance. In future research, the authors can further identify university students' HOTS
levels in the technical area. |
