| Summary: | <p>This study aimed to investigate what teachers thought about integrating the teaching of</p><p>HOTS in their ESL Reading lessons and the pedagogical strategies they used. It also</p><p>intended to find out if their beliefs, assumptions and knowledge of HOTS influenced</p><p>their pedagogical practices. The research used qualitative data gathering methods,</p><p>namely interviews and classroom observations. 3 teachers were chosen as participants</p><p>via purposeful sampling. 5 classroom observations were done for each participant. They</p><p>were also interviewed before the first classroom observation and after the last classroom</p><p>observation. The findings revealed that teachers pedagogical practices were influenced</p><p>by their beliefs, assumptions and knowledge of HOTS. Hence, the degree of integrating</p><p>HOTS via their lessons varied from one teacher to another. It was also found that</p><p>teachers were confident of their content knowledge of HOTS. However, they were not</p><p>sure of how to integrate it in the lessons. Therefore, more trainings on pedagogical</p><p>aspects of HOTS should be carried out.</p> |
