Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTs) based Assessment for Learning: A Model for Computer Networks Learning in Vocational School

Asian Journal of Applied Sciences, 2022

Vocational High School is a kind of school that has a strategic role in fulfilling labors. One of the competencies that graduates of Vocational High School must have is the Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). Many graduates of Vocational High School are not absorbed by industry because they do not have HOTS. This study aims to develop a HOTS-based Assessment for Learning (AFL) model that can be applied to learning computer networks for vocational students. This research is a development research using the modified model of Hopkins and Clark - Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (HC-ADDIE), which is a collaboration and modification of research, development, and diffusion model of the Hopkins and Clark - Instructional System Design - Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (HC-ISD ADDIE), and Classroom Action Research (CAR). The development stage includes designing a prototype model, validating the model, testing legibility, training te...

Developing complex thinking skills in online learning environments

The purpose of this paper is to report on the instructional strategies that were employed in a Web-based learning environment that was designed to facilitate the development of complex thinking skills in post-graduate learners. The authors developed specific criteria for developing Complex Thinking Skills after a thorough scrutiny of the literature. These criteria were used to design a web-based course for post-graduate learners. The findings suggest that instructional strategies can be successfully ...

Supporting students to develop collaborative learning skills in technology-based environments

British Journal of Educational Technology, 2006

The paper focuses on the question of how to advance collaboration through the Web and support lifelong learning. First, the theoretical framework and architecture of a new web-based tool, the ‘IQ Team’, is introduced. IQ Team is an interactive online assessment and support system to learn social skills needed in cooperative work, and belongs in an interactive online assessing and tutoring system, ‘IQ Form’, developed for the Finnish Virtual University. IQ Team has three main elements: (1) interactive self-evaluation test banks, (2) online tutoring sets and (3) learning diaries. In the creation of IQ Team, the validation process was conducted with two samples (n = 259 and n = 275). The online students’ social skills in different groups were explored, and the feedback data from different user groups were analysed. The online students scored high values for social skills, and no differences were discerned between university, Open University and technical students. The qualitative data (n = 35) were collected in order to get users’ feedback of the tool. The qualitative data consisted of interviews, open-ended questions and online discussions. The users of IQ Team reflected that the tool benefited them to become aware of their group work skills and developed their collaborative learning skills. IQ Team provides a powerful tool for online instruction and communication in higher education and in the Open University to promote joint-regulated learning.
