MANAGEMENT INCREASING TEACHER PEDAGOGICAL COMPETENCE IN REALIZING QUALITY MATHEMATICS LEARNING BASED ON HIGHER ORDER THINKING SKILLS (HOTS): CASE STUDY AT SMP IN KOTA BANDUNG
Learning mathematics is still perceived by some students as a difficult and unpleasant subject. Therefore, teachers must be able to design a learning process that is fun, flexible, and can motivate students to be actively involved. Therefore, the general aim of this research is to describe and analyze the management of increasing teacher pedagogical competence in realizing the quality of mathematics learning based on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). Apart from that, this research aims specifically to describe and analyze improving teacher pedagogical competence including: 1) Planning; 2) Organizing; 3) Implementation; 4) Supervision; 5) Obstacles; 6) Solution; 7) Impact. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study type. Data collection techniques in this research were carried out through interviews, observation and document study. Management theory uses George R. Terry (1992), Piaget's learning theory (Waseo, 2018) and Anderson & Krathwohl's (2001) HOTS theory. The research results show that the management of increasing teacher pedagogical competence in realizing the effectiveness of HOTS-based learning in junior high schools has been oriented towards the principles of teacher pedagogical competence in supporting learning which is in the quite good category. This is because several assessment indicators have been fulfilled from the pedagogical competency aspect. Teachers' pedagogical competence in realizing the effectiveness of HOTS-based learning in the three schools has in principle fulfilled the assessment indicators from the aspect of pedagogical competence, although not fully, including due to time constraints, teacher limitations in technology, and limited facilities. However, the problems in these three schools are not that serious, there are only a few teachers who have a tight time schedule which conflicts with their teaching schedule and only a few teachers who lack the enthusiasm to try new IT-based things.
