LOTS to HOTS<br />

2.1<br />

B<br />

loom’s <strong>taxonomy</strong> categorizes thinking skills and objectives into<br />

lower order thinking skills and higher order thinking skills - or LOTS<br />

and HOTS<br />

Bloom describes each category as a gerund. They are arranged in increasing<br />

order, from lower order to higher order. You can not understand a concept if<br />

you do not first remember it, similarly you can not apply knowledge and<br />

concepts if you do not understand them. It is a continuum from Lower Order<br />

Thinking Skills (LOTS) to Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS).<br />

As educators we are promoting LOTS as well as HOTS - within our students<br />

through the use of a variety of teaching techniques.<br />
