A New Assessment of Hocs-Oriented Learning for Students’ Higher-Order Thinking Abilities by Marzano’s Taxonomy

Abstract

This research focuses on students’ higher-order cognitive skill (HOCS)-oriented learning to construct effective hierarchical thinking abilities in their chemical particulate nature of matter. For in-depth knowledge and profound understanding, this research deals with students’ positive developments towards HOCS with a special guidance to Marzanos’ taxonomy. The methodology starts from the retrieval and comprehension of HOCS-centered assessment instrument to students’ analysis and knowledge utilization of transitional performances. 326 participants were assigned to take natural science curriculum in 2019 academic year. With the help of 7 scholars’ implements, the importance of content validity and inter-rate reliability were constructed through instrument developments of students’ HOCS performances. All research results indicated that more distributions of HOCS thinking abilities reached up to the target response of 38.0% analysis task and 27.30% knowledge utilization in Marzanos’ spectrum. This research is beneficial and advantageous that students will be capable of additional learning efficiency in their multiple interactive engagements with academic resources and suggestions from instructors, researchers, and science educators. Key words: HOCS-oriented learning, knowledge utilization, Marzanos’ taxonomy, particulate nature of matter

Using a Hybrid 5E Instructional Model to Improve Higher Order Thinking and Self-directed learning skills of EFL Students

“…Students" construction of cognitive knowledge could be meaningfully developed through HOTS, as it is the level of thinking required to shape their performance. HOTS encourage students to sort data from information obtained, identify possible solutions, to provide an opinion about the selected data (Su, 2021).…”

Implementation of Ssi Concept Mapping as a Dynamic Learning Environment to Enhance Students' Scientific Performance

“…Other 64 students took part in the evaluations of the experimental research with new perspective of argumentation at the second stage as the required sample of this research. All 139 students who took part in the study gave information and agreed with ethical approval in conjunction with this research (Su, 2021;Taber, 2014). In terms of experts, seven participants engaged in the research, including three science educators, two social experts, and two psychologists.…”

“…To assess students' learning achievement through argumentation participation and advanced thinking ability of SSICM problem-solving skills by taking pre-test and post-test (Lopez et al, 2014). Marzano's learning objectives kept from retrieval, compression, analysis to knowledge utilization, included in the pilot test items (Sadler & Donnelly, 2006;Su, 2021;Toledo & Dubas, 2016) as the revised resources. Finally, the attitude questionnaire test items according to the 5-point Likert scale and Su's draft (2018) to design.…”

Problem-based life situational issues exploration–Taking the learning effectiveness of artificial intelligence in natural sciences

“…Artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of things, augmented reality, virtual reality, and 5G have quietly entered everyone's lives. In the life circle of AI, the application fields of AI are becoming more diverse, and cross-domain learning combining multiple disciplines is becoming more popular (Rihtaršič et al, 2016;Su, 2021a). The practice of AI includes streetlights, drones, smart cities, self-driving cars, and robots.…”
