REGIONAL TRAINING OF TRAINERS ON HIGHER ORDER THINKING SKILLS – PROFESSIONAL LEARNING PACKAGES (HOTS-PLPS) FOR ENGLISH, MATHEMATICS, AND SCIENCE - CLUSTER 1 (GRADES 7 AND 8)
National Educators Academy of the Philippines (NEAP) and the Research Center for Teacher Quality (RCTQ) collaborate to develop Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) - Professional Learning Packages (PLPs) in Mathematics, Science, and English/Reading for teachers in grades 7 and 8, and grades 9 and 10.
The HOTS-PLPs are anchored to the Structure of the Observed Learning Outcome (SOLO) Framework as it describes the increasing sophistication (the increasing quality) of responses in handling certain tasks/questions relevant to a particular activity or domain. In particular, the SOLO levels provide concepts of teaching and learning that every teacher needs to acquire and use accurately and consistently to improve the learner’s thinking and understanding from simple to complex.
In 2021, NEAP collaborated with RCTQ to start the development of the PLPs for mentors and teachers. The PLPs
• have a theoretical focus on the Structure of the Observed Learning Outcome (SOLO) model by Biggs and Collis (1982);
• address the appropriate indicators in the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST indicators 1.5.2 and 1.5.3), the Philippine Professional Standards for School Heads (PPSSH indicator 3.2.2), and the Philippine Professional Standards for Supervisors (PPSS indicator 3.1.2);
• support the development and application of collaborative expertise in teachers, master teachers and school heads to underpin their own development through the Learning Action Cells (LAC); and
• respond to professional development needs identified in DM 50, s. 2020 or the DepEd Professional Development Priorities for Teachers and School Leaders for School Year 2020-2023.
In 2023, NEAP, as the professional development arm of DepEd, started implementing the PLPs, providing access to all teachers and school leaders in the country. NEAP has closely collaborated with representatives from the Curriculum and Teaching strand, as well as the Research Center for Teacher Quality (RCTQ) in developing additional resources and providing technical assistance to the field stations.
