Description
Summary:This study seeks to investigate the extent to which the recently revised Form Four History Syllabus has incorporated the Higher Order Thinking Skills. The study also investigates the views of Curriculum and Education department officials as regards to the incorporation of the skills. The teachers interpretation of these Higher Order Thinking Skills and the difficulty faced in infusing these skills in the classroom are also presented.
