Profile of Pre-service Elementary Teacher Creativity in Developing Higher Order Thinking Skills-oriented Science Worksheets

given unusual habits to the whole implementation of learning.Learning from elementary to higher education is carried out online (Biwer et al., 2021;Pratama et al., 2020).Meanwhile, ideally science learning should still be carried out in full as a product, process, and scientific attitude (Collette & Chiappetta, 1984;Syawaludin et al., 2022).Thus, it is necessary to support the components of the learning system, teacher readiness, support for teaching materials, and appropriate learning strategies.The readiness of teachers to carry out science learning in elementary schools during the Covid-19 pandemic was reported to have encountered various problems, especially in science learning (Abtokhi et al., 2021;Ambawati et al., 2021;Saputro et al., 2020).Problems that arise include connectivity and internet problems that interfere with student communication access, increasing numbers of student learning difficulties, low personal control of student activity, lack of support for learning tools, especially student worksheets which can be accessed by students independently during online learning situations (Aini et al., 2020;Bahasoan et al., 2020;Pokhrel & Chhetri, 2021).This condition causes science learning to still be impressed as a material completion agenda, not yet training scientific thinking skills.The problem of learning devices in the form of teaching materials such as student worksheets in science learning is still dominant.Previous research revealed that the use of student worksheets was carried out by teachers only with instructions with the dominance of using WhatsApp Group media (Pamungkas & Sartika, 2021;Wargadinata et al., 2020).However, the condition of the worksheets used is not yet oriented to higher order thinking skills (HOTS) so it needs to be developed (Kahar et al., 2021; Yennita et al., 2018).Students' analytical, evaluation, and creativity skills need to be trained in learning science, for example through a series of investigative processes or science experiments (Fauzia & Kelana, 2021;Kwangmuang, et al., 2021;Lu et al., 2021).Therefore, the support of learning tools such as HOTS-oriented worksheets is needed.The development of HOTS-based science worksheets is a necessary skill as a professional teacher.The education curriculum for prospective elementary school teachers must be able to equip students to be skilled in developing HOTS-based worksheets.
