Exploring The Need of Teaching Module for Enhancing Higher-Order Thinking Skills

Mathematical Knowledge and Higher Order Thinking Skills for Teaching Algebraic Problem Solving

Solving algebraic problems is a complex process that is influenced by various factors including teachers‟ instruction. The present intense interest in research on teachers‟ knowledge and proficiencies demands that future problem-solving research pay close attention to the mathematical and pedagogical knowledge and proficiencies a teacher should possess. This study explores the Prospective Mathe...

Enhancing Student's Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) through the Socratic Method Approach with Technology

Technologies have a potential to make learning more dynamic and capable of going beyond traditional learning boundaries. With the use of online technologies for example, students can interact with teachers and other students, regardless of time and distance. The learning process can also occur in synchronize or asynchronies. Meaningful interaction is needed in the Socratic method of learning be...

Needed : Better Methods for Testing Higher - Order Thinking Skills

T he task of designing a systematic program for testing and teaching higher order thinking skills is formidable, yet recent advances in the ory and research provide some basis for defining a core of fundamental skills and for designing exercises that require using such skills Since testing programs at the national, state, and local levels are being used to assess students' reasoning skills, the...

Assessment Techniques and Students’ Higher-Order Thinking Skills

Improving students’ higher-order thinking skills is a collective experience; one teacher of a specific subject cannot alone improve the higher-order thinking skills, and it is a collaborative process between all subjects’ teachers and can be taught for all levels of studying (Lawson, 1993; Shellens, & Valcke, 2005). Moreover, Benjamin (2008) argues that these skills can be developed in a cumula...
