ABSTRACT
This research is qualitative research aims to describe the implementation of online mathematics learning that oriented to Higher Order Thing Skills (HOTS) during covid-19 pandemic. Beside that this study aims to describe students’ HOTS abilities during the implementation of online mathematics learning. This research was conducted at SMK Telkom Malang. The online mathematics learning was implemented in class X RPL 4. There are 36 students that are included in this online learning. Class of X RPL 4 was selected as subject of this study caused by two reasons. The reasons are the material about trigonometry has been studied in this class and the mathematics abilities of students in this class are balanced among low, medium and high ability. The learning model that is implemented in this research is discovery learning. Discovery learning consist of 6 stages, namely stimulation, problem statement, data collection, data processing, verification and generalization. Data collection in this study was carried out by using observations, interviews and students’ work results This study presents description of teaching and learning activities that stimulate students’ HOTS in each stage of discovery learning. Beside that, this study indicates that online mathematics learning using discovery learning can stimulate students’ HOTS.
