About

Susriyati Mahanal is a leading Indonesian researcher in science education, with a primary focus on the assessment and cultivation of higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). Her most-cited work, the 2019 book *Asesmen Keterampilan Berpikir Tingkat Tinggi* (Higher Order Thinking Skills Assessment), has garnered 36 citations and serves as a foundational text for educators seeking to design and implement assessments that go beyond rote memorization. Mahanal’s research critically addresses the challenges of preparing students for a rapidly transforming world—where autonomous vehicles, on-site 3D printing, and mind-controlled wearable technology are becoming realities. She argues that traditional evaluation methods are insufficient for this landscape, and her contributions provide practical frameworks for measuring critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity in classroom settings. Her work has been instrumental in shaping national curriculum reforms in Indonesia, emphasizing the need for authentic, performance-based assessments. With a career dedicated to bridging educational theory and classroom practice, Mahanal remains a key voice in the movement to equip learners with the cognitive tools necessary for the 21st century.
