| Summary: | Higher order thinking skills (HOTS) is an imperative
aspect in teaching and learning especially at higher education
institutions. Students with higher order thinking skills are able to
find new ways to solve their daily problems and make appropriate
decisions. Hence, the purpose of this research was to evaluate the
effectiveness of HOTS for generating idea among technical students.
This quantitative approach research used the quasi-experimental
design with one treatment groups and one control group comprising
81 students. Marzano HOTS was used for generating idea in this
research. Meanwhile, individual assignment evaluation rubric was
modified to assess the level of achievement on the students’
assignments. The findings showed that there was significant
differences between treatment group and control group on the overall
individual post assignment result. There were significant differences
between treatment group and control group on the five evaluation
criteria of individual post assignment result. Besides that, the
findings revealed that treatment group have significant differences
between individual pre and post assignment on overall and five
evaluation criteria result. Consequently, learning HOTS by using
self-instructional manual approach for generating ideas is
significantly effective. |
