The purpose of this study is to determine the increase in the higher-order thinking skills of PGSD students by using an open-ended approach. The study was quasi-experimental research with a non-equivalent control group design conducted in the PGSD UNP department. The results of this study stated that there were differences in the average N-Gain of HOTS PGSD students who learned using the open-ended approach with students who learned to use the conventional approach in the basic social studies concept subject. This research proved that there was a significant increase in students learning by using the open-ended approach with students learning in using the conventional approach. The implications of this study can be used as an effort to improve student HOTS.
