HOTS.

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

Hi. We meet again this week and I'll be talking about 'HOTS'. Why am I talking about HOTS? This is because we learnt it today. 'HOT' is High Order Thinking Skills that most of us should have in order to make our studies a lot easier.



Basically, the picture above has given us the overview of what exactly 'HOTS' is. We need 'HOTS' because it is the most important 21st century skills that involved thinking, resilience, teamwork, communication, and problem solving. Thus, by having 'HOTS', we can survive better in this modern world. 'HOTS' is defined as the ability to transform the information and ideas, combining them to synthesize, generalize, and making explanation to arrive at some conclusion or interpretation so that we are able to solve the problems, gain understandings, and discover new meaning of something. Thus, 'HOTS' functions for problem solving, decision making, and creativity and innovation. We need 'HOTS' to avoid the narrow-minded thinking, hasty and rush thinking, blurriness or unclear about something, and confusion. 

When talking about 'HOTS', we should know the Bloom's Taxonomy of 'HOTS'. This is what makes 'HOTS' is different from lower thinking skill.




During the class session, we were given some old newspapers and asked to generate/make something new from it. So, my group members and I decided to make lotus origami out of it that has it's own meaning that represents us as students. Here, are some of my pictures with our lotus..



This kind of activity does required us to make use of our 'HOTS' to come out with the creative idea which I think is fun and exciting in which we can make use both sides of our brains actively. Well, that's all for today and assalamualaikum w.b.t.
