SYMBOLIC PACKAGE TO ENHANCE HOTS

Salam to all,

Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) are enhanced by using a symbolic package, inshaAllah. The learning model used in developing this symbolic package is the Bloom's Taxonomy (refer above👆). The objective of this symbolic package is to assist the users in enhancing HOTS by using the  Problem Based

Learning (PBL) method and Computer Algebra System (CAS) technology. The users for this symbolic package are Form Four Secondary School pupils.

The design of the development of this package is based upon the CAS pedagogic concepts, i.e., interactivity, visualization, experimentation, step by step technique, multiple representations and white box/black box principle.

This on going research is currently done by Khairina Atika Mohamad Zawawi (potential phd student) with the title : "Pakej Simbolik Pendidikan Sains Berasaskan Teknologi Sistem Algebra Komputer (SAK) dan Kaedah Pembelajaran Berasaskan Masalah (PBM) Dalam Meningkatkan Kemahiran Berfikir Aras Tinggi (KBAT)".

The importance of HOTS in the education system can be found in the link below👇.
