The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the discussion method of analysis of physics learning videos on students higher order thinking skills. The subjects of this study were all 5th semester students who took the Physics Curriculum Review lectures in the 2020/2021 academic year at a university in the city of Mataram, totaling 64 people. The research method was quantitative, with a post-test only group design. Higher order thinking skills data were obtained from the essay test given after the treatment. Data analysis to test the hypothesis using one-way ANOVA and calculations using SPSS 25. The results showed that the value of the F coefficient of 16,846 with a significance of 0.000 is much smaller than the alpha value of 0.05. There are differences in higher-order thinking skills between students who take conventional discussion learning, students who take video analysis discussion learning, and students who take problem-solving learning. The followup test with the Tukey Test shows that the difference between class 1 and class 2 has a significance of 0.000, the difference between class 1 and class 3 has a significance of 0.003, and the difference between class 2 and class 3 has a significance of 0.048. All comparisons had a significance value less than an alpha value of 0.05, so further tests for all pairs of sample classes were significant. The average score of students who took conventional discussion learning was 78.45, the average score of students who took part in the video analysis discussion learning was 85.20, and the average score of students who took problem solving learning was 82.36. Thus, the class of students who took part in the video analysis discussion learning physics learning had the highest average compared to the other 2 classes. The discussion method of analyzing physics learning videos can be used as an alternative learning method to develop students higher order thinking skills.
