The Process of Assessment

It is easy to find a definition of HOTs online, and according to IGI Global, they

help students develop critical thinking skills, problem-solving techniques, and a

thorough understanding of the material, which improves academic performance and

promotes lifelong learning. It is clear that students themselves stand to gain a lot from

this. If so, it will be our responsibility as instructors to use it to help kids' cognitive skills

grow so they can reach their full potential. According to Lai and Viering (2012),

assessing HOTs should be done throughout the course of learning, not just at the

conclusion. They also discuss how and when it will be carried out. This is so that

intellectual capacity, creativity, and in-depth subject knowledge can be continuously

monitored and improved, resulting in improved learning outcomes and the growth of

higher-order thinking skills. To train and mold the pupil, in other words, it must be

ongoing. Practicing a teacher in a lecture that addresses real life and actually occurs is

one example of a HOTs technique. Additionally, if a teacher has already assessed the

students, using HOTs may be necessary because this is the first step in eliminating

ignorance and assisting children in understanding concepts better. Although this is a

slow process, if done consistently and with attention, there will undoubtedly be positive

outcomes.
