Quellmalz Higher Order Thinking Skills and Students' Academic Performance in Physics
Main Article Content
Abstract
The study intended to determine the level of Quellmalz higher order thinking skills (HOTS) in physics of college students and its relationship with their academic performance in physics.
Results show that most students have average level physics performance. However, BS Forestry (BSF) and BS Nutrition and Dietetics (BSND) students have below average performance while BS Agricultural Engineering (BSAE), BS Nursing (BSN) and BS Applied Statistics (BSAS) students have above average performance.
Overall, BS Forestry (BSF) and BS Nutrition and Dietetics (BSND) students have below average level of HOTS while BS Agricultural Engineering (BSAE), BS Nursing (BSN) and BS Applied Statistics (BSAS) students have above average level of HOTS. The rest of the students from the other degree programs have average level of HOTS.
The level of HOTS on evaluation has the greatest influence in the physics performance of students followed by comparison, inference and lastly analysis.
