LEARNING OUTCOMES • Importance of HOTS • The philosophy of HOTS • How to inculcate HOTS • Framing HOTS questions
Importance of HOTS • A main goal of educators today is to teach students the skills they need to be critical thinkers. Instead of simply memorizing facts and ideas, children need to engage in higher levels of thinking to reach their fullest potential. • Students who develop higher-order thinking skills become life-long learners – capable of analyzing new situations, relating new information to what they already know, and thinking critically and creatively to solve problems, improve processes, and understand their world.
