It includes logical and reasoning, analysis, evaluation, and creation skills. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection used was documentation, tests, and interviews. The results of research from 40 students spread across several junior high schools in Banda Aceh found that 15 students were able to perform logical and reasoning skills, analysis, evaluation, and creation well in completing several questions, so that they were included as the students who have higher-order thinking skill in medium level.
