Abstract
This Systematic Literature Review (SLR) aims to map trends, development methods, and the feasibility of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)-based cognitive assessment instruments for the 2019–2025 period. Using the PRISMA 2020 approach, 31 relevant articles were selected from academic databases for analysis using Biblioshiny and VOSviewer. The review results indicate a dominant shift to Complex Multiple Choice (41.7%) and Structured Essay (33.3%) formats. The Research and Development (R&D) method, using the ADDIE model, has become the primary instrument for assessing critical thinking and problem-solving skills (C4–C5) across various disciplines. Although the developed instrument has demonstrated high validity and reliability through expert testing and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), this study identifies crucial challenges in the field. The findings indicate low teacher pedagogical readiness (80.6%) and low student learning completion rates during the implementation stage, underscoring the need to strengthen educators' capacity to implement HOTS-based assessments effectively.
This study addresses the limited availability of critical thinking assessment instruments that comprehensively measure university students' competencies in higher education. Existing FRISCO-based instruments are constrained by suboptimal internal consistency, a predominant focus on cognitive dimensions, limited assessm...
