The higher-order thinking and scientific literacy has criteria: a) on the thinking process taxonomy of analyzing, evaluating, and creating, and also they are in the knowledge dimension of conceptual, procedural and metacognitive; b) having a divergent construct of item; not only to measure the competency in cognitive, but also to measure science process skills and affective; to facilitate several science process skills; the stem of item use the stimulus in the student s daily life or the phenomenon near the students; and not only to measure the science cognitive but also to measure the student affective and how to use the science knowledge in their daily life. Sample of researched-items were 17 items of UN SMP/MTs 2013, 24 items of TIMSS 2007 (released items), and 17 items of PISA 2006 (released items). Results of this study showed: 1) the percentage of higherorder thinking and scientific literacy in physics items of TIMSS, PISA, and UN were 0.58; 0.53; and 0.35 respectively. The physics items of TIMSS, PISA, and UN also revealed that they are already related to the student daily life, but the i tems of PISA are higher in the aspect of contextual, complexity, and reality in the daily life than the others.}, url = {http://eprints.uny.ac.id/11488/}, keywords = {analyzing physics items, higher-order thinking, scientific literacy} }
