Question

A teacher after completing a chapter ask the students some questions to review their learning and check their understanding. The questions she is asking will be based on:
1. Hyper-order thinking skills
2. Higher-order thinking skills
3. Middle-order thinking skills
4. Lower-order thinking skills

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Lower-order thinking skills

Assessment is integral to the teaching-learning process which helps in facilitating student learning and improving instruction. It is a systematic way of collecting information to make a judgment about student learning. Formative assessment is one of the types of assessment which is used to improve teaching and enhance learning.

Here the question is based on 'Lower Order Thinking Skills' because the question is requiring brief thought and a basic amount of understanding of an already learned subject or area.

Note: Bloom's taxonomy has classified two levels of thinking skills. These are:

Lower Order Thinking Skills	It includes a lower three levels of Bloom's taxonomy which are remembering, understanding, and applying.
Higher Order Thinking Skills	It includes the three top levels of Bloom's taxonomy which are analyzing, evaluating, and creating. Higher-order thinking questions promote critical thinking skills.

 

Hence, from the above-mentioned points, it becomes clear that the given question asked by the teacher is based on Lower-order thinking skills.
