Higher Order Thinking Strategies (HOTS)

Higher Order Thinking Strategies (HOTS) refer to advanced cognitive processes that go beyond basic recall of facts. In the context of General Knowledge, HOTS involve analyzing information, evaluating different perspectives, and synthesizing ideas to form new understanding. Instead of just memorizing data, individuals use critical thinking to solve problems, make informed decisions, and create innovative solutions. These strategies foster deeper learning and encourage individuals to engage with content meaningfully, helping them apply their knowledge in practical, real-world situations.
