The objective of the study was to determine the feasibility of the TTMCT instrument developed to assess Indonesian elementary students' higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) on learning science in the concept of force, motion, and energy This study used to research and development method with collection technique using a questionnaire, test, and interview.
