Abstract
Determining instructions of higher order thinking skills in curriculum 2013 is still challenging and new for most English teachers in Indonesian context. Therefore, this current study emphasizes on investigating teachers- understanding in constructing higher order thinking-based assessments and teachers- difficulties in designing the assessments. A case study was applied with two research instruments, namely document analysis in the form of teacher-made assessments and interview with the teachers. The participants of this study were two English teachers from two different junior high schools- one public school and one private schools as the users of Curriculum 2013. The findings reveal that a misconception about the concept of higher order thinking skills assessments among teachers is still found because the teachers dominantly focused on the degree of difficulty of the questions instead of cognitive complexity in designing higher order thinking assessments. Consequently, the test items of the teacher-made assessments may only promote the students- analyzing and evaluating skills, so that the creating skill as the highest level of HOTS seemed not to be identified in the teachers- test. In addition, from the results of interview with the teachers, they claimed that most of the questions were constructed in the form of multiple choices to measure the students- HOTS and they were not confident to modify the multiple choices to be essays and open-ended questions forms as characters of HOTS assessment. It happened because the teachers believed that creating skill is related to a product of written texts. Overall, it is concluded that the teachers- understanding about HOTS-based assessment was likely low and needs to be improved through exposures and enrichment by attending trainings and workshops about HOTS-based assessment.

Abstract
Strategy is considered important in the process of learning and teaching activity that teachers may encourage students to be active in learning activity and to create a good learning environment in order to achieve the learning goal. There are two types of strategy which students will have to face; direct strategy and indirect strategy. Direct strategy refers to a language learning strategy that directly relates to the target language. Direct strategy of language learning requires complete comprehension of the language itself. This study aims to know the application of direct strategy in learning Japanese language through songs particularly to respondents who experienced Japan-s occupation in Minahasa by the year 1942-1945. The history of Nippon-s occupation in Minahasa is a chronological event of the causal effect in both negative and positive way, namely language inheritance that is inherited to former student-s memory who lived in the era of Japan-s colonization for about 60 year or more. Learning strategy in the era of Nippon-s occupation in Minahasa is a direct learning strategy which is the combination of 3 groups of the strategy: 1. Memorization, 2. Cognition and 3. Compensation.

Abstract
In chemistry, laboratory works are ideal media for students to understand the connection between the unseen microscopic world and the observable macroscopic world. Laboratory experiences provide opportunities for team building, inquiry-based learning, hands-on activities, and exposure to standard laboratory equipment and technology. Many of the concepts and principles common in high school chemistry courses can actually be demonstrated or discovered through experiments performed with simple apparatus. Currently, investigations on the Indonesian teachers- performance in designing practical chemistry laboratory are still very rare. The investigation is crucial to understand the problems and challenges faced by Chemistry teachers in preparing laboratory works and to improve their performance based on the research findings. This study investigated the teachers- current practice of laboratory activities in various high schools in West Java, Indonesia. This research is a survey research with a qualitative approach. The research subjects were 27 senior high school. The instrument used in this study was a non-test in the form of a Likert scale questionnaire. The questionnaires consisted of 9 items covering the pre-laboratory activity, during laboratory activity and post-laboratory activity. It was found that the number of experiments conducted, teachers- preparation and the reflection session after laboratory works were considered sufficient. However, the teachers- awareness on the safety instruction and green chemistry approach were still low. Additionally, laboratory works that focuses on the problem-based and discovery are not popular among teachers. It is suggested that the later practical work method is introduced to teachers because this approach allows students to practice higher level analytical skills, problem solving, connection to theory and transferable skills.
