Abstract :
This study has been conducted to examine theContinuous and comprehensive evaluation of higher order thinking skills (HOTs) in Science among VIII standard students. Totally 150 VIII standard students has been taken from 4 schools in Madurai district. The random sampling technique was used in this study. Higher order thinking skill (HOT’s) questionnaire prepared by the investigator was used in this study. Survey method was employed in this study. The data was analyzed statistically by using mean, standard deviation, percentage analysisand ‘t’ test. This study revealed that “most of the VIII standard students in Madurai district have average level of higher order thinking skill. Also this study revealed that there is no significant difference in the mean scores of higher order thinking skills in science between male and female, but there is significant difference in the mean scores of higher order thinking skills in science with respect to locality, type of school and medium of instruction.From the findings of this research, investigator concluded that the school science teachers of Madurai district must follow “child’s thinking–centered learning” to make continuous efforts for improving the higher order thinking skill in science.
