Refleksi CoRT 4 dalam kemahiran berfikir aras tinggi (kbat) menerusi penulisan karangan tidak berformat bahasa Melayu [CoRT 4 reflection in higher-order thinking skills (hots) through unformatized Malay language essay writing]

This study aims to identify aspects of higher-order thinking skills based on the CoRT device through the writing of Form 3 students' essays. The problems that arise among students, namely the weaknesses of students in mastering higher-order thinking skills based on CoRT 4 in producing critical and excellent essay writing, made the researcher interested in conducting research. This study applies Krathwohl's Affective Domain Theory to describe students' higher-order thinking skills through their attitudes in the perspective of Krathwohl's Affective Domain Theory and is also linked to Albert Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory to describe CoRT reflection through essay writing. This study involved 60 Form 3 students at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan TTDI Jaya, Shah Alam, Selangor as the study sample. For this study, data was analyzed using descriptive qualitative methods, namely using the Statistical Package For Social Science (SPSS) software to describe the effects of the experiment conducted on the respondents. The results of the study show that the aspect of higher-order thinking skills based on the CoRT device through essay writing is higher in frequency value at Cort 4. In addition, the students' higher-order thinking skills through their attitudes in the perspective of Krathwohl's Affective Domain Theory are more oriented towards the attitude of responding. Meanwhile, the reflection of CoRT through essay writing based on Albert Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory is at a positive acceptance level, which involves the aspect of motor reproduction. Through this study, the researcher can prove that the students of 3 Lambda and 3 Zeta have the potential to produce good and thoughtful essay writing.
