The Higher Order Thinking Laboratory (HOT-Lab) model has been developed to enhance the critical thinking skills of pre-service physics teachers. This research aims to develop HOT-Lab model concerning critical thinking skills of pre-service physics teachers about topic heat transfer. The subjects of this study are 60 students of Physics Education Program UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung. Research method using model ADDIE (Analyzing, Designing, Developing, Implementing, and Evaluating). The ADDIE model has already been extensively developed from the phase of analysis of the program up to the evaluation. The results research shows that the HOT-Lab model characteristic contains context-rich issues with some constraints. This problem must be solved through laboratory activities involving higher order thinking. Moreover, it has alternatives of non-trivial answers and troubleshooting results, which should be presented. The HOT-Lab model is able to develop the critical thinking skills of pre-service physics teachers with gain score included in the medium category. It can be concluded that HOT-Lab model has been tested and it could improve the critical thinking skills of pre-service physics teachers about topic heat transfer.
