The Development of Mathematics Curriculum to Increase The Higherorder Thinking Skills in The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Era

Abstract

This study discusses the development of mathematics curriculum (learning mathematics) to improve higher order thinking skills in realizing quality education in the Era of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Quality education is the fourth goal of Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs). Higher order thinking skills (HOTS) are defined as thinking skills, reasoning, critical thinking, and problem solving. Mathematics education has been developing in line with learning theories development, changing of technology, and life demands as well as the using of mathematics within the globalization era in the 21st century. Indonesia has attended TIMSS and PISA study many times and the study reported that students have not been able to develop their thinking abilities optimally in mathematics subject. This research was conducted by qualitative method with data collection technique through interview and documentation. Interview conducted against the Developer of Mathematics Curriculum, Widyaiswara, and Textbook Writer. The results of study that to realize a quality education at Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs), the government has formulated basic competence inmathematics that appeals to the competence of higher order thinking skill, Creating Learning Teacher Module, and Textbook. Teachers are expected to explore further higher order thinking skills.
