‘‘strong Minds Discuss Ideas’’: Exploring The Integration Of Higher Order Thinking Skills In Algerian Efl Doctorate Contest Topics
Authors : Metatha Hasna .
Abstract
The present study conducts a descriptive content analysis of Algerian EFL doctorate contest topics from the academic year 2022-2023 in order to examine the incorporation of higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) as delineated in Bloom's Revised Taxonomy. The research hypothesizes that the contest topics encompass all the three highest levels of Bloom's Taxonomy, reflecting the expected proficiency of candidates after five years of training. The study aims to assess the cognitive levels represented, evaluate the emphasis on higher-order thinking skills (HOTS), and explore the implications for educational assessment. Results indicate a predominant focus on Analyzing and Evaluating levels, with limited attention to Creating tasks. The study underscores the significance of aligning educational assessments with the cultivation of higher-order thinking skills. Recommendations are provided for stakeholders to enhance the quality and effectiveness of educational assessments in Algerian higher education.
