Abstract
The importance of improving the quality of history learning, particularly in higher-order thinking skills (HOTS), is the primary focus of this research. Linked to the influence of gender, this study aims to provide information on whether there is an effect of gender on the HOTS abilities of history students in the Historiography course. The method used is ex post facto quantitative research, examining the relationship between variables that have already occurred. Data was collected through tests, questionnaires, and portfolios. The sample consisted of 80 history students. Based on the research results, there is a significant difference in higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) between male and female students. Therefore, it can be concluded that gender has an influence on the higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) of history education students. Descriptively, the average HOTS score of female students (Mean = 83.64, Standard Deviation = 3.089) is higher than the average HOTS score of male students (Mean = 81.00, Standard Deviation = 4.299), meaning H₀ is rejected and Hₐ is accepted. Based on the Mann-Whitney U test results, there is no influence of intrapersonal intelligence on male and female students in HOTS thinking.
