High Order ThinkingHigh Order Thinking
• The concept of higher order thinking skills became a major educational agenda item with the 1956 publication of Bloom's taxonomy of educational objectives.
• The simplest thinking skills are learning facts and recall, while higher order skills include critical thinking, analysis and problem solving.
• Including higher order thinking skills (HOTS) in learning outcomes is a very common feature of standards based education reform
Solutions• Randomly assigned groups to the students
and give them time to introduce themselves to break the ice.
• Sending a circular to take feedback.
• Counseling session before the beginning if the task.
• Having meeting with principal to highlight the importance of the task.
Problems• There may be some
students who are unwilling to work with some particular group or pair
• Parents may not support new method.
• Motivation among students.
• Availability of resources
Resources
• Reference books• Multi-media• Internet• DVD’s• Library• Computer• www.google.com• www.ask.com
• The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think - rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with thoughts of other men’.
• Bill Beattie
