Interaction module development based on higher order thinking skills

Zaharah Osman

Abstract

This research aims to study the development process of learning modules in order to increase the interaction between teachers and children based on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in story-telling activities. The development process involves material preparation, expert review, and module content assessment. This module development process employs four experts from different fields. A few suggestions have been identified and improvements were made based on the suggestions given. The revised module is assessed for content accuracy by four evaluators, where two are early childhood education experts and two are kindergarten teachers. There are three aspects that are evaluated, which are module delivery and presentation, module content, and language presentation. Findings show this module has good verified content and meets the targets of the evaluators who are experts in their field, and module target users. Therefore, this module can be used by parents and educators to build knowledge and skills on HOTS which are conducting analysis, giving new ideas, as well as making connections during interactions with children. Keywords: Development, Interaction, HOTS
