NILAI, 18 March 2018:
There will be a new aspect to Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in the Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) examination – details of which will be announced at the end of the year, said Education director-general Datuk Dr Amin Senin.
He said this would enable the Education Ministry to evaluate HOTS among pupils.
“This is important because HOTS is something basic. If we are not good in HOTS, it will be difficult to get ahead and that is why we are very serious about this matter.”
The 2016 UPSR batch was the first cohort to be tested on HOTS. HOTS is now being emphasised as rote learning is no longer deemed suitable.
