Addressing Learners’ Struggles to Answer HOTS Questions in SPM 1119/3: Part 3
Image credit to/ Source:
Do some SPM 1119/3 candidates have problems answering the HOTS questions effectively? The answer is a definite Yes. They are not able to spontaneously think critically and construct sentences to respond to the HOTS question posed to them. How can teachers help them? How can those candidates do self-practice? Well, this Part 3 offers more HOTS questions and suggested answers for enrichment practices.
Candidates need more practices as each practice is the key to success. Teachers can conduct a few activities using the HOTS questions and sample answers which are prepared by me. Pupils can be paired to take turns asking and answering the HOTS questions. Pupils should be given freedom to choose any questions to be posed to their partner. Another alternative activity would be to assign the candidates to suggest another possible response for each of the HOTS questions. This can reinforce their thinking skills in responding to the HOTS questions. Perhaps, in dealing with lower intermediate candidates, the teacher may want to focus more on making sure the weak learners understand clearly every question and suggested answer. Whatever it is, any kind of enriching activities should be effective as long as the candidates get the practice that they need so that they are more well prepared for the SPM 1119/3 examination.
To be continued with the last part; HOTS questions 65-100.
