Abstract

To enhance critical thinking skills and the basic literacy of Indonesian human resources, textbooks containing HOTS are needed as a guide in the education process. This study aims to reveal the dimensions of HOTS cognitive processes contained in the textbook "Waskitha Basa lan Sastra Jawa untuk SMA/MA sederajat kelas X" published by Erlangga in 2023. This research is a qualitative descriptive study with content analysis technique within the book in the form of sentences indicating HOTS-based activities or tasks. The data collection technique used intensive reading. The data obtained were analyzed using the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy 2001 table. The analysis results of HOTS data dimensions in lesson planning, learning processes, and learning evaluation in the textbook "Waskitha Basa lan Sastra Jawa untuk SMA/MA sederajat kelas X" show a consistent emphasis on the development of high-level thinking skills such as analysis, evaluation, and creation. There is a significant amount of HOTS data in all aspects of learning, indicating that this textbook encourages students to think critically. The evaluation dimension (C 5.1) has the highest amount of HOTS data, emphasizing the importance of students' ability to evaluate and criticize materials. However, there is potential to improve the focus on the creation (C 6.1) and planning (C 6.2) dimensions, which have lower amounts of HOTS data. Therefore, the main conclusion is that this textbook has succeeded in promoting high-level thinking skills, but there is still room for improvement, especially in the aspects of creating and planning learning.
