ABSTRACT

The existence of laboratories at schools aims to produce theoretical concepts through experimental activities in the instructional process. However, it tends to be dominated by natural science. On the one hand, one of the efforts to respond to the challenges of the 21st Century, students must acquire High Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) competencies included in sociology learning. This study aims to identify the social construction of the development of sociology laboratories as a strategy for developing HOTS learning. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach by phenomenology. Data is obtained through interviews, analysis of learning tools documents including assessment systems, and literature studies. Interviews were conducted with sociology teachers and high school students majoring in social science. Data validity uses method triangulation by comparing interview data, document analysis and literature studies. Data analysis uses social construction theory. Based on research results, it shows that the development of sociology laboratories in learning can support the creation of HOTS competencies among high school students. This is because through simple research activities, students are able to think critically and provide alternative solutions to social problems that are used as research objects. In developing their thinking, students have imagination and can develop concepts of sociological abstraction that are originated from the research projects undertaken.
