Abstract: It is important for science students to develop higher order thinking (HOT) so that they can reason like scientists in the field. In this study, a HOT instructional model for secondary school science was developed with experts. The model would focus on reflective thinking (RT) and science process skills (SPS) among Grade 7 students. The Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) was employed to determine consensus among a panel of 20 experts. First, semi-structured interviews were conducted among the experts to generate the elements required for the model. Then, a questionnaire was developed using a seven-point linguistic scale based on these elements. The defuzzification value was calculated for each item, and a threshold value (d) of 0.75 was used to determine consensus for the items in the questionnaire. The alpha-cut value of >0.5 was used to select the phases and sub-phases in the model. The elements in the model were ranked to identify the sub-phases which had to be emphasised for implementation in instructi...

TL;DR: This quasi-experimental study investigates the impact of the rotating trio exchange learning model aided by GeoGebra on junior high school students' mathematical reasoning, finding significant effects of the model and cognitive style, with no interaction between the two.
Assessment of Higher-Order Thinking Skills: Is it Simply Determined by Verbs?
TL;DR: The assessment of higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) is one of the important practices in the teaching and learning process as mentioned in this paper , and the educators should master the five fundamental principles in the development of good quality and high degree of validity of the assessment tasks.

TL;DR: It is found not only that many more children learned from direct instruction than from discovery learning, but also that when asked to make broader, richer scientific judgments, the many children who learned about experimental design from direct Instruction performed as well as those few children who discovered the method on their own.
