Abstract

The aim of this research was for descript about skill profile of Junior High School teachers in developed high-order Science thinking questions. It was quantitative descriptive research for Junior High School teachers from East Indonesia. Data was a collected of questions that the teacher made for five working days in the technical guidance activities. Data was analyzed by quantitative descriptive refers to criteria of cognitive levels and rules for wrote the right questions. Results of this research were 71% was higher order thinking question at the implementation level, 61% at the analysis level, 53% at the evaluation level and 38% at the creative level. Based upon the rules for wrote the right question only 54% that met the criteria for wrote the right questions.
