Abstract: This study aims: (1) to know the difference between HOTS Economic learning
outcomes taught by the Guided Inquiry learning model and the modified free inquiry learning
model; (2) knowing the difference between HOTS Economic learning outcomes for students
who have high achievement motivation and HOTS Economic learning outcomes for students
who have low achievement motivation; and (3) knowing the interaction between inquiry
learning models and achievement motivation on learning outcomes. The population in this
study are all social studies 11th grade students in Senior High School 5 Medan, amounting to
3 classes. The sample in this study is determined randomly by random sampling technique, by
taking 2 classes with a total of 34 students per class. The research method uses quasiexperimental. The instrument of this study is the achievement test and achievement
motivation test. Analysis of the data used is Anvaa Factorial 2 x 2. Based on the research
results obtained: (1) there are differences in the results of HOTS Economic student learning
taught by the Guided Inquiry learning model and Guided Inquiry learning outcomes of
students taught by the Modified Free Inquiry Learning Model (Modified Free Inquiry) with
fcount>Ftable (4.15> 3.9); (2) there are differences in economic learning outcomes of
students who have high achievement motivation and students who have low achievement
motivation with fcount>Ftable (171.07> 3.9); (3) there is an interaction between inquiry
learning models and achievement motivation on learning outcomes HOTS Economic with
fcount>Ftable (4.04> 3.9).
Keywords: Guided inquiry; modified free inquiry; achievement motivation; results study.
I. Introduction
Writing about HOTS is one of the most important issues in the education system.
Every teacher is expected to be able to arrange HOTS questions so students do not only
answer items that only measure at the C1 level (knowing), C2 (understanding), C3 (applying)
but are also able to answer questions at the C4 level (analysis), C5 (evaluation ) and C6
(creative). So that each student is able to Increase the achievement of learning outcomes and
Increase motivation to learn (Brookhart, 2010).
Based on preliminary study activities carried out at Senior High School 5 Medan, it
was found that the average score of the UN Economic Social Sciences Department in 2018
tended to be relatively good at 8.78. Although this achievement indicates the academic
quality of individual students at the national level, it does not yet illustrate how far their
academic competitiveness is at the global level when compared to the results of the Trends in
International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) survey. Indonesia's ranking is ranked
46 out of 51 countries and scores 397 and the Survey Program for International Student
Assessment (PISA) are ranked 69 out of 76 countries and a score of 386. This shows that
nationally may obtain high average scores but do not yet demonstrate the quality of

competing human resources. Many of the questions contained in TIMSS and PISA have not
been included in the Exam questions both at school and nationally which make it difficult for
teachers to develop the same form of questions.
The design of economic learning that is used by teachers in lesson plans is still
dominant using conventional approaches that still emphasize lecture activities, learning
discussion through exposure to material that tends to be passive so that learning occurs in one
direction, students who only receive information in the abstract. The teachers have not fully
implemented active and creative learning in involving students and have not used various
learning models that vary based on the character of the subject matter. In addition, the teacher
is still fixated on the textbook as the only source of teaching and learning so that the student's
brain is forced to remember and hoard various information without being required to
understand the information obtained to link it to the situation.
Deluca (2011) states that to develop higher-order thinking skills students must first
understand factual, conceptual, and procedural knowledge applying their knowledge to
learning by doing and then contemplating the process that produces a solution. The teacher
can do this by guiding students through observational activities, concept formation,
responding, analyzing, comparing and giving the necessary consideration. Student activeness
and teacher guidance greatly contribute during learning (Zerihun et. Al, 2012). The learning
process can be done if the teacher is able to prepare a series of activities well and planned.
One learning model that is in accordance with scientific characteristics and higherorder thinking is the inquiry learning model. Vygotsky's Contructivism learning theory
assumes that the Inquiry model is learning that prepares a good situation for children to
conduct their own experiments, in the broad sense of wanting to see what is happening,
wanting to do something, seeking answers to their own questions, linking other findings,
comparing what is found with what found by someone else. The general objective of the
Inquiry Learning Model is to help students develop intellectual thinking skills and other skills
such as asking questions and finding answers that begin with their curiosity. The use of
inquiry learning as one of the learning models can help students to understand scientific
concepts through practice and participation in scientific research activities together. Thus,
inquiry learning models can improve HOTS because students can find concepts directly.
II. Review of Literature
Thomas and Thorne (2009) in the center of development and learning explained that
"Higher Order Thinking Skill (HOTS) is thinking on a level that is higher than memorizing
facts or telling something back to someone exactly the way it was told to you. HOTS takes
thinking to higher levels than restating the facts and requires students to do something with
the facts - understand them, infer from them, connect them to other facts and concepts,
categorize them, manipulate them, put them together in new or novel ways, and apply them
as we seek new solutions to new problems. "
That is, HOTS is thinking at a higher level than memorizing facts or reco (...truncated)
