This article describes the results of Action Research conducted in an ESP classroom of Dhofar University located in Oman. Following the call of Oman Vision 2040 to emphasize educational practices that promote the development of higher-order cognitive processes, this study raises the following question: Can an online multiple choice question (MCQ) quiz tap into the higher-order cognitive skills of apply, analyze and evaluate? This question was also critical at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic when Omani universities switched to the online learning mode. The researchers administered an online MCQ quiz to 35 undergraduate students enrolled in an ESP course for Engineering and Sciences. The results showed that MCQ quizzes could be developed to tap into higher-order thinking skills when the stem of the MSQ is developed as a task or a scenario. The study also revealed that students performed better on MCQs that tap into low-level cognitive skills. This result can be attributed to the prevalent practice in Oman to develop assessment tools that tap only into a level of Bloom’s taxonomy, which involves the cognitive process of retrieving memorized information. The significance of the study lies in its pedagogical applications. The study calls for the use of teaching and assessment practices that target the development of higher-order thinking skills, which is aligned with the country’s strategic direction reflected in Oman vision 2040.

The Relationship

The study aimed to identify the relationship between science teachers' use of the flipped classroom strategy and their attitudes towards developing higher-order thinking skills among students of the higher basic stage in the Hebron governorate. In order to achieve the goal of the study, the researcher followed the descriptive and analytical approach, as she/he conducted a questionnaire to measure the extent to which science teachers use the flipped classroom strategy, and she conducted another questionnaire to measure the attitudes of science teachers towards developing higher-order thinking skills among students of the higher basic stage. Then, the two questionnaire sheets are electronically applied to a random sample of science teachers in the Hebron governorate. The number of the sample is (136) teachers in all directorates of the Hebron governorate. The results have shown that science teachers use the flipped classroom strategy frequently. Moreover, science teachers' attitudes towards developing higher-order thinking skills among students were at a high level, as the field of "critical thinking skills" came in the first place, followed by "problem-solving skills", however, "creative thinking skills" ranked last. Besides, the results have shown a strong correlation between science teachers ’use of the flipped classroom strategy and teachers' attitudes towards developing students' higher-order thinking skills. And, there are statistically significant differences in the science teachers' use of the flipped classroom strategy in teaching students of the higher basic stage in the Hebron governorate as well as in the science teachers' attitudes towards developing higher-order thinking skills among students of the higher basic stage in the Hebron governorate according to the gender variable for females, and according to the directorate variable for the directorate North Hebron. given the findings of the study; The researcher recommended that it is necessary to provide means of support to encourage teachers to employ modern technologies in teaching thinking. It is also necessary to conduct more studies dealing with the relationship between teachers' attitudes towards developing higher thinking skills and employing other teaching strategies and to conduct evaluation studies to examine the effectiveness of flipped learning strategies in teaching thinking.

Higher Order Thinking Skills

The scarcity of readily usable instruments to research learning in Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) environments has posed a great challenge to devise appropriate analytical tools to investigate how individuals change their understanding or create a new personal construction of knowledge as a result of social interaction and negotiation within the group. Given this scenario, the Activity System Model (Engestrom, 1987), based on a socio-cultural perspective, was adopted as a framework for analysing the quality of a CSCL community in this research project. Data were analysed to examine how interactivity had contributed to the fostering of higher order thinking skills in the CSCL community. Findings of this study confirmed that there was a positive correlation between the quality of collaborative process engaged by groups and the quality of cognitive skills fostered. High levels of social interaction and collaboration contributed to the establishment of a community of learning, nurturing a space for fostering higher order thinking through co-creation of knowledge processes. Lessons learnt and limitations of the investigation in this study in light of the methodological issues relating to coding reliability and difficulties in translating Chinese text involved in the CSCL for computerized coding process were discussed as well.
