Mobile Learning Application Development Fostering High Order Thinking Skills on Physics Learning

Educators and students are already quite mature and ready to take the advantage of mobile technology from both social and technology aspect. Various studies have been conducted in the use of technology to improve learning performance. Higher order thinking skills or HOTS is an important thing that needs to be possessed by the students to understand a specific knowledge. The integration between the positive opportunities in the use of mobile technology and learning strategies based on the concept of HOTS is the basic idea of this research to develop a mobile learning application. This research is the development of mobile learning application with the android platform that incorporates strategies for developing higher order thinking skills. In this study, the learning strategy applied in the management of the activities leading to the higher order thinking skills is 4R (read, reflection, recite, and review) as a modification of the PQ4R strategy (preview, question, read, reflection, recite, and review)
