The analysis of institutional characteristics within the educational context is necessary due to the relevance that education, as a fundamental area of knowledge for the development of a country, exerts on society. In this sense, the present study seeks to understand how the institutional theory, in the perspective of Acemoglu and Robinson (2012), can be applied in the context of educational institutions. With regard to the methodological aspects, the study presents a literature review on the divergent perspectives of the institutional theory, followed by a discussion on the design by the theorists Acemoglu, Robinson and collaborators about this theory. The text provides an understanding on the connection of institutional factors and the educational outcome. An implication of this study is the opening of a new vision for analysis and reflection on institutional relationships that influence in the performance of educational institutions

Marsiana Wibowo Erni Gustina Suci Musvita Ayu Liena SofianaPages: 725-733
Digital Flipbook is one of the multimedia-based media that is recommended to be developed because it can be accessed with gadgets or laptops. This research is Research and Development level 4, which is researching and testing in creating new products. Researchers developed the Digital Flip Book with the title Me: Teenagers and My Health. The purpose of developing this media is to increase the knowledge and attitudes of adolescents after reading the Digital Flipbook. This media design is a cover page, content (introduction to adolescent reproductive health situations, adolescent definitions, risk behaviors in adolescents which consists of understanding, impact, and prevention of premarital sex, violence, and early marriage), and improving adolescent reproductive health. The results of media development from media experts said that based on the assessment aspects, namely simplicity, cohesiveness, emphasis, balance, shape and color, the results obtained 91.67%. The media to be used must be simple, easy to use on a gadget or laptop and balanced color combination. Material expert assesses 97.22%. The language used in media must be easily understood, not a textbook, by the target of adolescents. Thus, a digital flipbook entitled "Me: Teenagers and My Health" is suitable for use in health promotion among adolescents and further field testing. This media has been tested on target, with the result that knowledge is good as much as 51.9% and a positive attitude as much as 59%. Thus, the media has been used. However This process affects the output of learning using the application as a medium for health promotion for adolescents.

Tumas YULIANTO Ikrar PRAMUDYA Isnandar SLAMETPages: 749-755
The 4.0 industrial revolution is an important topic that is currently being discussed in Indonesia. Industrial revolution 4.0 has an essential influence on education in Indonesia, known as Education 4.0. Instruction 4.0 includes four necessary skills called 4C, namely the ability to communicate, collaborate, think critically, problem-solving, creative, and innovation. The 4C skills are summarised in the form of HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skill) questions that are currently applied in Indonesia. However, in reality, mathematics learning about the application of HOTS questions made a decline in the national average of student scores. The researcher concluded that students and teachers had not found the right learning model for the HOTS problem. Therefore, the main focus of this research is to apply the 21st-century learning model and problem-based learning models and see how the effects of the 21st-century model and problem-based learning models on HOTS in mathematics. The method of data analysis in this study uses one-way univariate variance analysis

Fajar Dwi Utami Joko Nurkamto Sri MarmantoPages: 756-765
In dealing with the demand for critical and creative thinking skills in the 21st-century, the Indonesia government has implemented 2013 curriculum which promotes higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) in the classroom. However, the implementation of HOTS-based curriculum gave impact to the way teacher assesses the students' thinking skills as they are expected to be able to design HOTS-based test items in assessing students. Accordingly, this study investigated the higher-order thinking skills represented on the test items designed by English teachers of Indonesia at the senior high school level. This study was conducted qualitatively by analyzing four sets of test items, gathered from a senior high school in Indonesia from 2016 to 2019, using Bloom’s revised taxonomy. It was found that most questions were dominated by lower-order thinking skills, specifically understanding level, with the total percentage of more than 50% each set of test items. However, the higher-order thinking skill found in the test items is the only skill of analyzing while the skills of evaluating or creating were not covered. Thus, it is suggested that an evaluation is important to evaluate the test items made since the proportion of lower-order thinking skills as well as higher-order thinking skills are not proportional and whether those test items can be sufficient to promote higher-order thinking skills to the students.
