HIGHER ORDER THINKING SKILLS

Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) are stated explicitly in the

curriculum for teachers to translate them in teaching and

learning in order to stimulate structured and focused thinking

amongst pupils. The explanation of HOTs is focused on four

thinking levels as in Table 2.

7

Table 2: Thinking levels in HOTs

HOTS Explanation

Application Using knowledge, skills and

values in different situations to complete a task.

Analysis

Ability to break down information into smaller parts in order to understand and make connections between these parts.

Evaluation

Ability to consider and make decisions using knowledge, experience, skills, values and justify decisions made.

Creation Produce creative and innovative idea, product or method.

HOTS is the ability to apply knowledge, skills and values in

reasoning and reflecting to solve problems, make decisions, be

innovative and be able to create. HOTs encompasses critical

and creative thinking skills, reasoning and thinking strategies.

Critical Thinking Skillsis the ability to evaluate ideas logically

and rationally in order to make reasonable judgements based

on valid reasons and evidences.

Creative Thinking Skills is the ability to produce or create

something new and valuable using original and imaginative

thinking unconventionally.

Reasoning Skills is the ability of individuals to make

considerations and evaluations logically and rationally.

Thinking Strategies is a way of thinking that is structured and

focused on problem solving.

HOTS can be applied in the classroom through reasoning

activities, inquiry learning, problem solving and project

work.Teachers and pupils need to use thinking tools such as

thinking maps and mind mapsas well as higher order

questioning techniques to encourage pupils to think.

LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

Learning environment refers to the atmosphere and the physical

surroundings where teaching and learning takes place.It is one

of the key elements in preschool education and should be

planned so that an interactive and conducive learning

environment can be realised.

8

A good learning environment will contribute to effective learning,

good class control, active teacher-pupil relationship and ensures

fun learning.

Safety and Health

Clean and safe space, furniture, equipment and materials.

Appropriate lighting and ventilation.

A safe natural environment that stimulates learning.

Layout

Learning Centres

Create learning centres and optimise their usage.

Learning centres should be well-equipped, easily accesed,

appropriate with adequate resources, and updated regularly

according to teaching and learning needs.

Provide learning centres which encourage individual and

collaborative play.

Involvepupils in setting up learning centres.

PLANNING TEACHING AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES

The layout of the classroom should be flexible according to

lessons planned.

Appropriate layout of furniture and equipment which allows

room for movement and activities.

Equipment and resources are arranged neatly and

accessible. The equipment and resources should be

changed periodically in order to maintain pupils’ interest and

to achieve learning objectives.

Pupils’ work should be prioritised and displayed. This will

boost their self-confidence and encourage pupils to produce

more works.

1. Long-term and short-term planning of teaching and learning

activities should be in tandem with the needs of the

curriculum.

2. Planning of timetables should be based on pupils’

development and implemented flexibly.

3. The following should be taken into consideration when

planning teaching and learning activities:

ability and cognitive development of pupils.

provide opportunities for pupilsto make choices during

activities.

9

provide sufficient time and opportunities for pupils to

carry out explorative activities.

use of realia in teaching and learning to assist pupils to

acquire concepts and knowledge.

teaching and learning activities should be balanced and

varied so that effective and meaningful learning takes

place such as outdoor and indoor, active and passive,

individual, group and whole class activities as well as

activities initiated by pupils and planned by teachers.

TEACHING AND LEARNING STRATEGIES

There is no one method or strategy which is deemed the best

implemented for teaching and learning in the classroom for

pupils of various abilities. Teachers have to make the best

choices when planning lessons using various teaching and

learning strategies appropriate with the development, needs,

abilities, talents and interests of pupils for effective and

meaningful learning. For example, in the National Preschool

Standard-Based Curriculum and Assessment Document, there

are learning standards specifically for pupils aged 4+ only.

However, for pupils aged 5+ who have not acquired the

standards, teachers can conduct teaching and learning based

on learning standards for 4+.

There are various teaching and learning strategies which can be

used by teachers, they are:

Child-Centred Learning

Child-centred learning involves pupils’ active participation in the

learning activity, and pupils are responsible for their own

learning. Pupils take on an important role in the learning

process as learning is driven by their interest, encouragement

and needs. Pupils are given the choice to choose activities,

materials and timewhile learning. Teachers facilitate and guide

the learning activity.

Learning Through Play

Learning through play is planned and structured to provide

pupils with opportunities to learn in a freeand safe

environment,which is enjoyable and meaningful. It is

emphasised in preschool education as play is a natural

behaviour of pupils. Play allows pupils to explore, make

discoveries and build experiences in a natural way. Physical,

10

socio-emotional, cognitive, language development and pupils’

potential are enhanced and maximised.

Inquiry Based Learning

Inquiry based learning allows pupils to build their own

knowledge and understanding through investigation and

exploration based on their existing knowledge. It is implemented

through project-based learning, scientific investigation; problem-

based learning and collaborative learning in order to produce

pupils who are knowledgeable and able to apply higher order

thinking skills. The teaching and learning process of inquiry

based learning is focused on “learning by doing” which engages

pupils to be involved in activities such as exploration,

investigation,questioning, reflective thinking and discovery of

new knowledge.

Inquiry-based learning emphasises the ‘why’ and ‘how’ as

compared to ‘what’ in any situation. Inquiry-based learning

boosts critical, creative and innovative thinking which promotes

self-access learning. This arouses curiosity and encourages

pupils to question. At the same time, pupils will be able to

reflect throughout the learning process.

Integrated Approach

This approach integrates two or more skills to be acquired by

pupils in one lesson. Teachers need to use pupils’ daily

experiences in teaching and learning in the classroom. It allows

pupils to understand the realities of life and gives them the

understanding that situations in life are inter-related and not

individual.

Learning is conducted in a holistic and integrated manner and

not separated into individual learning disciplines. Integration

also involves integration of skills, integration of skills and values,

integration among strands, integration among activities as well

as various methods and techniques.

Learning through integrated approach allows for diversity as the

needs of pupils differ in terms of development, interest and

abilities as well as their background.

Thematic Approach

The thematic approach is organising the curriculum and learning

through a chosen theme or topic according to the suitability of

11

time, place, interest, background and level of pupils’

development.

The thematic approach involves the following:

The usage of a generic theme across various learning

strands.

Choice of themes is based on pupils’ level, situation or

current happening.

It is inter-related with existing and new experience obtained

in a consistent and systematic manner.

Expansion and reinforcement of knowledge and skills.

Learning staged from easy to difficult and generic to

specific.

Project-Based Learning

Project-based learning focuses on systematically planned

practical assignments within a time frame. This teaching method

emphasises research in the form of projects in order for pupils

to gain knowledge. It involves collection and analysis of data

and preparation of reports.

The characteristics of Project-based learning are as follows:

This method can be conducted individually or in groups.

Assessment is carried out at every phase until

completion.

Teacher-pupil interaction is in the form of guidance and

negotiation during each phase of the project (teacher as

a facilitator).

This process involves collection of materials, information,

and data as well as processing of information and data,

reporting and self-reflection.

This learning method is based on skills, knowledge,

experience and pupils’ abilities.

It is based on real-life experiences.

Mastery Learning

Mastery learning ensures all pupils have acquired the expected

learning objectives before moving on to the next lesson. This

method focuses on mastery of lessons learnt.

Pupils are given the opportunity to progress according to their

abilities and rate of learning as well as improve their level of

mastery. Mastery learning upholds the principle that every pupil

is able to learn if opportunities are given. Opportunities should

12

be given to pupils to learn according to their abilities.

Enrichment and remedial activities should be included in

teaching and learning. This entails adequate time and high

quality teaching and learning.

Contextual Learning

Contextual learning is a learning method which integrates

learning content with daily experiences of the pupil, community

and the working world. This learning method provides concrete

learning opportunities which involve hands-on and minds-on

activities.

Learning takes place when pupils are able to process

information learnt or new knowledge acquired in a meaningful

manner. Learning becomes more effective if information is

disseminated in various contexts and in a meaningful manner to

pupils. Emphasis should be given to diverse learning

environments in order to achieve meaningful learning. Teachers

are encouraged to choose or create different learning

environments which will encompass a range of learning

experiences in social, cultural, physical or psychological

contexts in order to obtain the aspired learning outcomes.

Multiple Intelligences

Multiple intelligences is an important theory as it is closely

related to the field of education. Every pupil has various

intelligences and ways of thinking, responding and learning

which differ from one another.

There are at least eight intelligences. They are:

Verbal-linguistic intelligence: the ability to use words

effectively in oral and writing.

Logical-mathematical intelligence: the ability to use

numbers effectively, have the ability of logic, wise

reasoning and arguing.

Visual-spatial intelligence: the ability to identify and

visualise forms, space, colour and lines.

Kinaesthetic intelligence: the ability to use one’s body to

express ideas, feelings and solve problems.

Musical intelligence: the ability to identify rhythm and

songs.

Interpersonal intelligence: the ability to understand

feelings, motivation, habits and desires of others.

Intrapersonal intelligence: the ability to understand

one’s strengths, weaknesses, desires and wants.

13

Naturalist intelligence: the ability to know and classify

plants, minerals and animals including grass and stones

as well as flora and fauna.

Every individual has various intelligences and abilities.

One’s potential is enhanced with constant motivation,

enrichment and appropriate learning opportunities

whichdevelops pupils’ intelligence and interests to the

maximum level.

INVOLVEMENT OF PARENTS AND THE LOCAL

COMMUNITY

1. Explanation of the preschool curriculum and its

implementation should be disseminated to

parents/guardians to create awareness about preschool

education and obtain their cooperation to ensure smooth

and effective teaching and learning.

2. Sharing of information between the teacher and

parents/guardians is essential to assist in pupils’ learning

and to ensure the continuity of teaching and learning from

the school to the home and vice versa.

3. Good relationship between the school and

parents/guardians as well as the local community will

assist in giving positive and meaningful learning

experience.

CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

1. Teachers need to plan strategies to address learning

difficulties by identifying and taking appropriate actions in

order to assist pupils with special needs. Actions that can

be taken are as follows:

Identify levels and differences of pupils’ learning

needs in order to plan suitable teaching and learning

strategies.

Prepare portfolios to compile works and to record

pupils’ development and learning progress.

Diversify learning content and activities for effective

teaching and learning.

Modify learning resources based on pupils’ needs.

2. Teachers can use the Special Needs Children Placement

Instrument (4 – 6 years) to identify pupils with learning

difficulties. This is a tool used to identify pupils who may

have learning difficulties. Teachers need to discuss with

parents/guardians if they identify pupils who show traits of

14

learning difficulties. The instrument should be produced

to the medical officer as reference for verification.

ELEMENTS ACROSS THE CURRICULUM

Elements Across the Curriculum is a value-added element

embedded in the teaching and learning process other than

those specified in the content standards. The application of

these elements is aimed at strengthening the human capital

skills and competency as well as intended to prepare pupils for

the challenges of the present and the future. The elements are

explained below:

1. Medium of Iinstruction

The correct use of the medium of instruction should be

emphasised.

During teaching and learning emphasis should be given

to pronunciation, sentence structure, grammar and the

terminology of the language in order to assist pupils

organise ideas as well as communicate effectively.

2.Environmental Sustainability

Developing awareness towards the love of the

environment in the pupils should be nurtured through


Knowledge and awareness on the importance of the

environment help shape pupils’ ethics in appreciating

nature.

3. Values

Values need to be emphasised to ensure pupils are

aware of its importance and practise them.

Values encompass the aspects of spirituality, humanity

and citizenship which are practised in daily life.

4. Science and Technology

Increased interest in science and technology will help to

improve scientific and technological literacy amongst

pupils.

The use of technology in teaching can help and

contribute to efficient and effective learning.

The integration of science and technology in the

teaching and learning process covers four areas,

namely:

o Knowledge of science and technology (facts,

principles, concepts related to science and

technology)

o Scientific skills (thinking process and specific

manipulative skills)

15

o Scientific attitudes (such as accuracy, honesty,

safety) and

o Use of technology in teaching and learning

5. Patriotism

Patriotism can be nurtured through learning and extra-

curricular activities and community service.

Patriotism develops love for the country andproud to be

Malaysians.

6. Creativity and Innovation

Creativity is the ability to use imagination in gathering,

assimilating and generating ideas or creating something

new or original through inspiration or combination of

existing ideas.

Innovation is the application of creativity through

modification and putting ideas into practice.

Creativity and innovation are inter-connected and

needed to ensure the development of human capital to

meet the challenges of the 21st Century.

Elements of creativity and innovation should be

integrated in teaching and learning.

7. Entrepreneurship

The incorporation of entrepreneurship elements aims at

developing entrepreneurial attributes and practices that

will become a culture amongst pupils.

Entrepreneurial attributes can be embedded during

lessons through fostering attitudes such as diligence,

honesty, trustworthiness and responsibility as well as

developing a creative and innovative mind-set to drive

ideas into the market economy.

8. Information and Communication Technology (ICT)

Incorporation of ICT elements in teaching and learning

ensures pupils are able to apply and strengthen their

knowledge and basic ICT skills.

Application of ICT motivates pupils to be creative,

stimulates interest and makes teaching and learning

enjoyable as well as improves the quality of learning.

ICT should be integrated based on suitability of topics

and used as a tool to further enhance pupils’

understanding of the subject content.

16

9. Global Sustainability

The elements of Global Sustainability aims to produce

pupils of sustainable thinking who are responsive to

their environment in their daily life by applying

knowledge, skills and values obtained through elements

of Sustainable Consumption and Production, Global

Citizenship and Solidarity.

Global sustainable elements are essential in preparing

pupils to face challenges and current issues in various

situations, be it locally and globally.

These elements are taught directly or embedded in

related lessons.

10. Financial Literacy

The integration of Financial Literacy element in lessons

is aimed at developing future generations who are

capable of making sensible financial decisions,

practising ethical financial management as well as

managing financial affairsresponsibly.

The elements of Financial Literacy can be applied

directly or embedded in lessons. This can be integrated

in the topic such as ‘Money’ comprising explicit financial

elements e.g. simple interest calculations and

compound interest. Financial literacy is integrated

through related topics across the curriculum. Exposure

to financial management in real life is necessary in

order to prepare pupils with knowledge, skills and

values that can be applied effectively and meaningfully.

SCHOOL-BASED ASSESSMENT

School-based assessment is an integral part of assessment

which enables teachers to derive information on pupils’

development and is planned, implemented and reported by

teachers. This is a continuous process which is conducted

formally and informally that enables teachers to determine

pupils’ actual level of performance. School-based assessment

should be conducted in a holistic manner based on the

principles of inclusivity, authenticity and localised. The

information derived from this assessment can be used by the

school management, teachers, parents/guardians and pupils to

plan follow-up actions to further improve pupils’ learning.

School-based assessment can be conducted as formative and

summative assessment by teachers. Formative assessment can

be conducted during the teaching and learning process, while

17

summative assessment can be conducted at the end of a

learning unit, term, semester or year. Teachers should plan,

build items, administer, evaluate, record and report on pupils’

performance level based on the Standard-Based Curriculum

and Assessment Document. Teachers need to use their

discretion and professional judgement in order to determine

their pupils’ performance levels.

Assessment in preschool is a process which involves various

methods to obtain information on pupils’ development and

learning. It is a basic and important continuous process in

Integrated Learning

Integrated Learning provides opportunities for pupils to obtain

their own meaningful learning experience. Teachers need to

integrate strands, skills and values in teaching and learning.

Integrated Learning include:

1. Routine Activities

Routine activities are activities that are carried out on a daily

basis and have special time allocation. These activities

includes circle time, recess and reflection.

Circle Time

Circle Time is to prepare preschoolers mentally and

emotionally to focus on the learning activities of the day.

Activities during Circle Time such as sharing of ideas and

information; storytelling, singing, and other activities can

increase their vocabulary; and improve their social skills and

encourage the involvement of preschoolers actively. The

time allocated for Circle Time is 20 minutes daily.

Recess

In preschool education, recess is part of teaching and

learning. Recess is allotted for pupils to have their meals as

well as for physical and mental relaxation. Recess can be

used to involve pupils in food and dining preparation.

Aspects of self-management, manners, healthy eating and

balanced diet should be emphasised during recess. Time

allocated for recess is 30 minutes daily.

Reflection

Reflection provides opportunities for teachers and pupils to

reflect on their learning and happenings of the day. In

addition, teachers and pupils can discuss about further

learning. The time allotted for reflection is 10 minutes daily.

2. Learning Activities

Learning activities provide opportunities for teachers to

choose appropriate teaching strategies to allow pupils to

carry out exploration and experiment, problem solving and

promote critical thinking. There are various ways and

methods that can be used, they include thematic approach,

project-based learning and using learning centres.

The time allocated for Integrated Learning activities are:

(i) 500 minutes a week in National Schools.

(ii) 440 minutes a week in National Type Schools.

21

Outdoor Activity

Outdoor Activity are activities that are carried out outside the

classroom. It helps build fitness and stimulate pupils'

intelligence as well as provide opportunities for pupils to interact

and explore their surroundings. Through these activities, pupils'

awareness of health and safety as well as sensitivity to the

environment can be improved. Outdoor Activity should be

carried out every day as follows:

1. Physical Activity

Physical activity involves body movements that require

energy to improve one’s physical fitness and health.

Physical activity is very important for pupils’ development

and basis for a healthy and active lifestyle. In addition,

physical activity promotes body fitness, dexterity and

coordination as well as cognitive development, social

competence and emotional maturity. Time allocation for

Physical Activityis 30 minutes per session and is carried out

twice a week.

2. Free Play

Free play provides opportunities for pupils to make their own

decision about what, when and how to play. They are also

free to determine rules and their role in play. During free

play, pupils benefit in terms of physical, emotional, cognitive

and social skills. Besides having fun during play, pupils learn

to interact and negotiate effectively; able to share and

collaborate with others; as well as develop problem solving

skills.

During free play, teacher acts as a planner, facilitator, play

partner and observer. The teacher also needs to be wise in

providing a suitable environment for free play to be effective

and meaningful. Time allocation for free play is 20 minutes

for each slot and carried out 3 times a week.

Islamic Education/Moral Education

Time allocated for Islamic Education/Moral Education is 120

minutes a week. In classes that have five or more Muslim pupils,

Islamic Education must be taught by a certified teacher for at

least 120 minutes per week. For classes that have five or more

non-Muslim pupils, Moral Education must be taught for at least

120 minutes per week. However, for classes that do not have or

have less than 5 Muslim pupils, Moral Education can be

combined with Integrated Learning.

华语

华语是华族的母语，在我国多元种族的社会中有着重要的地位，它也是华文小学的教学媒介语，因此儿童需在学前掌握一定程度的华文，

为在小学学习华文打好基础。本课程将让儿童掌握语言的基本技能，即听话、说话、阅读和书写，协助儿童积累新知识和新经验，同时使

儿童能正确地使用华文来表达感受、分享生活经验，并有礼貌地与人沟通。

本课程通过活泼有趣的活动，如游戏、歌唱、会话、问答、表演、讲故事等语文活动，提高儿童学习华文的兴趣，加强语言的掌握。通过

本课程，学生：

1. 养成良好的听话和说话习惯。

2. 乐于使用华文，有礼貌地与人沟通。

3. 初步掌握阅读的能力，对阅读产生兴趣。

4. 能初步以书面进行表达，对书面表达产生兴趣。

教学重点：

1. 学前教育不教汉语拼音、轻声、变调等语音知识，惟教师范读语音须标准。教师在进行听说教学时，提醒学生沟通时须要注意说话

的礼貌和态度；措辞和说话内容；以及聆听者的身分。教师也应注意学生倾听技巧，训练学生的口头表达能力。

2. 阅读教学重视培养学生的阅读兴趣和习惯。教师应提供充足的读物及营造良好的阅读环境。课室内所置放的读物须适合学生程度并

且是趣味的图书。

41

3. 识字是阅读的基础，也是学前教育语文教学的一个重点，必须力求到位。教师应不厌其烦地指导学生辨识字形相似、读音相近或其

他容易出现混淆的字。介绍实物或图形和文字的关系，如：山 -水- 月-

4. 不要向学生介绍“独体字”、“合体字”、“象形字”等名词术语。

5. 识字容易写字难，识字教学，应该多识字，少写字，不可要求识写同步，以免拖慢识字的速度。识字教学需通过活动进行，避免教

学枯燥单调。不能把写字当作识字教学的活动。学前班的教师可根据班级学生程度与主题进行选择或增减认识的生字。

6. 书写教学重视发展学生眼和手的机能及协调能力，在执笔和坐姿等方面养成良好的习惯，打好写字基础，并对写字产生兴趣。

7. 写字教学要求学生会使用田字格练习写字，掌握基本笔画和偏旁部首的写法，笔顺正确，并初步具有间架结构的意识。

8. 写字要贵精不贵多，不是每个教过的字都要写。每个字写 3 至 5 个。每一次的书写时间不宜持续超过 3-5 分钟。书写时间过长，学

生精神不能集中，在执笔、坐姿、笔顺等各方面容易出错。出错了继续写下去就会养成不良的书写习惯。不要让学生写“笔画递增”

的不完整的汉字。

9. 书写教学初步培养学生书面表达的能力，重视兴趣的培养。教学时应多鼓励、多称赞，让孩子喜欢表达、放胆表达，不必强调种种

书写规矩，甚至允许学生用符号来代替文字。

MORAL EDUCATION

Moral Education focuses on developing individuals with moral values based on three domains:

1. Moral Reasoning

Having the mental ability to identify good from bad behaviour and right from wrong.

2. Moral Emotions

joy in doing good and remorse in doing wrong. Moral feelings create moral motivations and intentions to act based on empathy

and sympathy towards oneself and others.

3. Moral Behaviour

Moral actions that relate tomoral reasoning and moral emotions, done voluntarily with responsibility, accountability and integrity.

The three domains need to be applied with the 14 universal values which are crucial to develop individuals with moral values. These

accepted universal values are in tandem with religious teachings, norms or beliefs of the Malaysian society.

Upon completion of learning activities in Moral Education, pupils can:

(i) understand the values practised by the Malaysian society.

encourages creative, analytical and sistematic thinking. Science process skills which have been identified to be developed are

observation, classification, measurement, inferencing, prediction and communication.

a) Observation involves the use of sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell to collect information about objects or phenomenon.

b) Classification is to observe, to separate and group objects or phenomenon according to the same characteristic.

c) Measurement is to observe quantitatively by using non-standard units of measurement. Non-standard units are measurements

used as units of reference. Examples:

i. Parts of body such as hand span, foot, fathom and handful.

ii. Objects such as pens, paper clips, skewers, spoons and cups.

d) Inferencing is the ability to make reasonable early assumptions, which may be true or untrue to explain an incident or observation.

e) Prediction is to make assumptions on happenings based on observation and past experiences or data.

f) Communication is to receive, choose, arrange and to present information or ideas in the form of writing, verbal, table, graph, figure

or model.

EARLY MATHEMATICS

Early mathematics provides experiences on the concept of pre-numbers, number concepts, number operations, money, concept of time

as well as shapes and space to preschool pupils.

Upon completion of learning activities in Early Mathematics, pupils can:

1. cultivate interest in mathematics through various activities and experiences.

2. acquire basic mathematics concepts.

3. enhance thinking and problem solving skills.

The pre-number concepts in preschool education are divided into a few sections namely:

a. Matching one to one is the association of similar or different objects. Examples of matching one to one are as follows:

(i) Match similar pairs of objects such as shoes.

(ii) Match pairs of objects which are different such as fork and spoon.

(iii) Match objects with numbers.

b. Comparison is a process of associating two objects which uses specific characteristics as a basis for comparison. Examples of

comparison are measurement (long – short), size (big – small), weight (heavy – light) and quantity (many – a few).

c. Seriation is the arrangement of more than two objects according to succession based on clear criteria.

d. Patterns are the way numbers or objects have been arranged according to a defined pattern.

e. Consistency is an aspect which can be connected to mass, volume and area. The concept of consistency is introduced to ensure that

pupils will understand the concept of mass and volume even though they are placed or arranged in differing places or situations.
