| Summary: | <p>This study aimed to develop and investigate the effectiveness of literary Critical</p><p>Thinking Module (CTM) to enhance higher order thinking skills (HOTs) in the teaching of Literature.</p><p>This study employed module development research design using both qualitative and quantitative</p><p>approaches in collecting data. CTM was developed using ADDIE instructional design model. Test</p><p>papers, classroom observation, field notes and interviews were used to measure the effectiveness of</p><p>CTM in enhancing HOTs among ESL students. Nine subjects of different proficiency level and two</p><p>teachers were involved in the study. The data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics</p><p>and content analysis. After 18 weeks of using CTM in the literature classes, the subjects answers</p><p>for analysis, synthesis and evaluation questions contained HOTS characteristics namely</p><p>examining, explaining, inferring, categorizing, predicting, summarizing, creating, giving opinion,</p><p>imagining and criticizing. From the classroom observation and field notes, the subjects were found</p><p>to be engaged and participated actively throughout the 18 weeks of classes. The interview with the</p><p>teachers revealed that CTM was adaptable, interesting and was capable of generating HOTs among the</p><p>students. It can be concluded that CTM was able to develop students analysis, synthesis and</p><p>evaluation skills in learning literature. The implication of this study is that CTM can be used as</p><p>an alternative tool to promote students HOTs in their Literature classes.</p><p></p> |
