Level of Skills of Teachers in Using Deep Thinking Questions, its total Weighted Mean is 3.75 -: Mostly True. With total 15 number of indicators, regardless of total Weighted Mean per indicator, all items received an interpretation of MOSTLY TRUE TO THE TEACHER.

Next is the relationship between Level of Skills and Elements used in Deep Thinking, these variables received a r value of .590 and Sig of .000, the decision is to Reject the Hypothesis, with interpretation of WITH STRONGPOSITIVE CORRELATION. Last is the relationship between Level of Deep Questioned Used and Element Used in Deep Thinking, these variables received a r value of .107 with Sig of.376, the decision is to Accept Hypothesis, with interpretation of NO SIGNIFICANT RELATIONSHIP.
