Effectiveness of the multidimensional curriculum model in developing higher‐order thinking skills in elementary and secondary students

Abstract: The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the multidimensional curriculum model (MdCM) in the development of higher‐order thinking skills in a sample of 394 elementary and secondary school students in Israel. The study employed a quantitative quasi‐experimental pre‐post design, using a study module based on MdCM, comparing intervention group to control group. Thinking skills were measured using a thinking questionnaire comprising three dimensions: Scientific thinking – focusing on inquiry skills; creative… Show more

“…Not surprisingly, educational research in various countries has long focused on learning optimization that is able to empower students' HOTS. In Israel, learning that implements innovative strategies and embedded thinking tools is reported to be able to empower the thinking skills of elementary and middle school students (Vidergor, 2018). In Canada, teachers from kindergarten through grade 9 believe that HOTS is needed by their students (Schulz & Fitzpatrick, 2016).…”

“…This is exacerbated by the low ability of students' Higher order thinking skills. HOTS is very necessary for environmental learning because environmental problems are complex problems so students need the ability to analyze, evaluate, and create (Anderson et al, 2001;Lee & Lai, 2017;Tajudin & Chinnappan, 2016;Vidergor, 2018).…”

“…However, education in the 21st century still emphasizes memorization of facts without understanding [1]. The task faced by the teacher is to prepare students with critical thinking skills in order to achieve success in the future [2]. Entering the global market era, companies recruit employees who can transfer their critical thinking skills to the workplace [3][4][5].…”

“…The low percentage of HOTS questions is an indicator of students' low cognitive levels in schools. Empirical studies in the past 10 years related to the application of strategies and learning models in improving HOTS can be found in several journals as follows: effectiveness of the Multidimensional Curriculum model at elementary and junior high school [2]; applying flipped classroom models at junior high school level [13][14]; development of critical thinking assessments at the high school level [15]; application of inquiry-based learning models, problem solving groups, HOT-Question and HOT-Lab at the college level [16][17][18][19]; and the development of WebQuests media for teachers [18]. So far, studies have not been found that focus on reviewing the development of HOTS especially at vocational level.…”
