ANALYSIS OF TEACHERS READINESS IN IMPLEMENTING HIGHER ORDER THINKING SKILLS IN LEARNING, TEACHING AND FACILITATION IN 21ST CENTURY

Abstract

HOTs have a high level of intellectuality. Thus, the implementation of HOTs in schools should be emphasized to strengthen 21^st Century Learning (21^st CL) where it is to achieve the intention of Ministry of Education (MOE) to produce a thinking society. Success in the implementation of HOTs in the 21^st Century processes of Teaching, Learning and Facilitation (TLF) requires the willingness and readiness of teachers. Therefore, this study was aimed at exploring the teacher's understanding of HOTs and 21^st CL and subsequently assess teachers’ readiness to implement HOTs in the 21^st Century TLF. A qualitative approach with interpretive design was used in conducting this study. The research methods used in this study are Hermeneutic methods. The Hermeneutic method is used to create interpretation to the text of the study. The text studied consists of transcriptions of interviews with teachers. The selection of study subjects was carried out on a sample involving ten academic teachers in Sebauh District, Bintulu, Sarawak. The findings showed that teachers still have very poor understanding of HOTs. The findings also showed that teachers have yet to fully master the contents of 21^st CL. Subsequently, the findings showed that teachers do not have a strong readiness in implementing HOTs in 21^st CL. Teachers were found to still focus on the challenges of implementing HOTs in 21^st CL to the lack of physical aspects of the classroom, lack of teaching support materials and shifting challenges to the weaknesses of pupils. The conclusion of the study showed that it is important that teachers master HOTs to improve the ability of pupils to follow the 21^st Century TLF process. The implications of this study readily contribute skills and knowledge about HOTs in 21^st CL to teachers as well as being able to contribute to literature with the willingness and capabilities of teachers to implement HOTs in the 21^st Century TLF process.
