EXO OLO - Task Learning Model: An Introduction To Hots-Oriented Learning Model Based On Lesson Study

Abstract

This article was written to explain the role of EXO OLO Task Learning Model in developing Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) for learners. The learning model which is developed with the "ADDIE" development model has four pillars: effective learning activities (individual activities, paired activities, and group activities), multilevel questions and tasks, collaboration and sustained development of teacher competence. Learning steps in this model are strengthening of concepts, the EXO Task work, the EXO Task discussions, the OLO task work, in-depth discussions and learning reflections. In relation to the implementation of the 2013 curriculum that adopts the development of higher order thinking skills (HOTS) learning oriented, the model of EXO OLO Task can be applied by the teacher in learning, both in learning Geography and other subjects. The result of the learning model implementation shows that the EXO OLO Task can improve students' learning activities (individual, pairs and groups), foster collaboration in learning, and improve students’ learning outcomes significantly.
