Designing hypothetical learning trajectory in supporting pre-service mathematics teachers to conduct higher-order thinking oriented learning in microteaching course

Abstract

Many research revealed that teachers or pre-service teachers still misunderstand about higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) and it impacts their ability in designing learning activities that support students' HOTS. Considering this fact, this research aims to design a teaching and learning trajectory that can support pre-service mathematics teachers to conduct higher-order thinking oriented learning in a microteaching course. This research used design research method as an appropriate means to achieve the research aim. This article presents a hypothetical learning trajectory in microteaching course aiming to support pre-service mathematics teachers to conduct higher-order thinking oriented learning.
